Export images

Export images

Renders frames or layers from a file as PNG, JPG, SVG or PDF and returns temporary URLs to download them.

Note: Pass the IDs of the nodes to render. REST image URLs expire after 30 days, and the MCP tool takes up to 20 nodes per call.

Set up

Use the first option your agent supports.

MCP (official, remote)

Add this server to your agent's MCP settings, then sign in when asked.

{ "mcpServers": { "figma": { "url": "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp" } } }

Call the MCP tool download_assets.

Server URL: https://mcp.figma.com/mcp

API (official)

• Base URL: https://api.figma.com
• Endpoint: GET /v1/images/{key}
• Auth: send the header X-Figma-Token: $FIGMA_ACCESS_TOKEN
• Docs: https://developers.figma.com/docs/rest-api/

Before anything else, confirm access with the cheapest read-only call, like a list or a search. Never send or change anything to test access.

Rules

• Ask the user before anything that sends messages, costs money, or changes data, and say how many records it touches. One approval covers a batch the user has seen.
• Never print API keys.
