New psd.to.design update
Import a Photoshop template with a glow, a gradient stroke, or an overlay, and psd.to.design now renders it closer to how it looks in Photoshop. This update focuses on exactly that: tightening up how effects, large files, and flattened exports come through, so what you see in Figma matches what you designed in Photoshop.
Here’s what’s different and what you’ll notice the next time you import a PSD file into Figma with psd.to.design.
Effects render truer to the original
If you’re importing a Photoshop file with layer styles, this is the update for you.
Glows, gradients, strokes, and overlays now render closer to your original Photoshop design than ever. Glows sit exactly where they’re supposed to, strokes render with their true weight and gradients keep their exact angle and position.
More PSD files open successfully
Alongside the visual improvements, this update widens the range of files the plugin can bring in cleanly.
A wider range of PSD files open successfully, including 16-bit images and certain indexed-color files that used to give a few issues.
Large, complex files import more reliably
Big, detailed PSDs — large canvases, deep folder structures, lots of layers — are handled more reliably in this release, with fewer imports stalling or failing partway through.
Improved flattened-image imports
Importing a PSD as a single flattened image now stays at full resolution, no matter how the file is processed, and imports at the sharpest resolution Figma supports.
What this update means for your workflow
Put simply: PSD imports are now sharper and more accurate, looking closer than ever to their Photoshop source. If you regularly bring Photoshop templates, mockups, or marketing assets into Figma, this psd.to.design update should mean fewer surprises between what you designed and what you see after import.
