Illustrator is still the lingua franca for many print and illustration teams. Convertify lets me export Figma frames straight into .ai files so those teams can continue refining artwork without starting over. The vectors remain editable, layers stay organized, and text remains live if the fonts are available.
Why it beats SVG hacks
Exporting SVGs and opening them in Illustrator kind of works, but you lose layers, masks, and text formatting. Convertify keeps the structure intact, so designers can hit the ground running regardless of which tool they prefer.
Export checklist
- Name layers descriptively before exporting; those names carry over.
- Outline text only when the receiving team doesn’t have the fonts installed—otherwise keep them live.
- Share any color profiles or print specs alongside the file so nothing gets lost in translation.
When projects jump between teams, Convertify keeps everyone aligned without sacrificing quality.
Iterate with confidence
Need to adjust a brand element after the Illustrator team provides feedback? Update the Figma source, rerun Convertify, and deliver a new .ai file in minutes. Because the structure stays consistent, the Illustrator designer can merge changes without losing their tweaks.
Ideal situations
- Handoff to packaging vendors or printers
- Collaboration with illustrators who rely on Adobe brushes
- Creating press-ready assets while maintaining a single source of truth in Figma
Convertify makes “Figma to Illustrator export” a button press instead of a half-day chore.
