Many designers utilize programs like Figma in order to design attractive and engaging interfaces. However, when the time comes to showcase these designs, Keynote is often the preferred choice. So, what is the process for exporting Figma designs to Keynote? This blog entry provides a detailed step-by-step guide on how to do so.
What are Figma and Keynote?
Figma is a cloud-based UI/UX design tool that enables designers to collaborate in real-time. Its versatility has made it the go-to tool for creating website and app designs.
Keynote, on the other hand, is a presentation software from Apple. It offers a wide range of presentations and animations, which makes it a great tool for showcasing your designs.
Step-by-Step Guide to Exporting Figma to Keynote
Unfortunately, there’s no direct way or plugin to export your Figma designs to Keynote. But don’t worry, there’s still a simple workaround to do this.
Step 1: Export your Figma design as PNG
In Figma, select the frame you want to export, then click on the export button in the right-hand panel.
Next, select PNG as the format, then click on the export button.
Step 2: Import your design into Keynote
Next, in Keynote, create a new slide where you want to display the exported design.
Click on the Media button, then choose Photo or Video. Navigate to the location where you saved the exported PNG file, select the file and click Insert.
The design will now be inserted into your slide as an image.
Note: To ensure that the design fits the slide perfectly, you may need to adjust the size using the blue handles that appear when the image is selected.
Conclusion
Although there’s no direct way to export Figma designs to Keynote, the workaround above makes it possible. Simply exporting the frames as PNGs and then importing them into Keynote allows you to showcase your designs in a professional and engaging way.
Remember, the key to a great presentation is not only about the design, but also about how you present it. With Keynote, you can add different animations and transitions to your slides to make your presentation more engaging.
