Sketch supports a wide range of import and export formats. With this, you can seamlessly integrate Sketch into your existing design workflow and collaborate with other designers who use different software.
Import formats
Sketch supports the following import formats:
- Bitmap images: PNG, JPG, TIFF, WebP
- PDF documents
- Vector graphics: SVG and EPS files, SVG code
- Figma files
The Figma importer feature is not available in the version of Sketch available from the Mac App Store. If you are using the Mac App Store version of Sketch and require the Figma importer feature, please download Sketch directly from our website.
Export formats
Sketch provides a range of export options to suit your needs. Here are the supported export formats:
- PNG
- JPG
- TIFF
- WebP — PDF — EPS — SVG
Please keep in mind that certain effects may not be fully supported in all file formats. For example, transparent gradients in PDFs and inner and outer borders in SVGs.
Workarounds for Unsupported File Formats
Some applications use closed and proprietary file formats which Sketch cannot support. If you need to import a file format that is not directly supported by Sketch, you can try one of the following workarounds:
- Export the file to a supported format from the original application. For example, you can export a Photoshop file to SVG or EPS.
- Use a third-party plugin or converter to convert the file to a supported format. There are a number of plugins and converters available online.
For more information on importing and exporting files in Sketch, please check our documentation.
