Downloading Original Images

When designers work in Figma, images get embedded into frames — cropped, masked, layered over. The original files aren’t always easy to get back out. For motion designers, production teams, or anyone downstream who needs the actual source image at full resolution, that means digging through assets, finding the original, and hoping it’s the right version. This plugin skips all of that.

How it works

Select a frame or a set of frames, scan the selection, and the plugin surfaces every image it finds — including ones that aren’t immediately obvious. It handles the edge cases you run into in production work: a frame might have an image layer sitting on top of an image fill that’s technically still attached to the frame. The plugin detects both and exposes them separately, so nothing gets missed.

From there you have full control over what you do with them. Rename files inline before you export. Download at 1x (the original as-placed size) or 2x for retina. Grab individual files, select a subset, or export everything at once as a ZIP. You can also send directly to a Google Drive folder using the same Drive connection method as the other plugins in the suite — paste a folder URL and it goes straight there.

Why it exists

The ask came from motion designers who needed original images out of Figma files without quality loss or manual hunting. Figma’s native export gives you what the frame looks like — not necessarily the source image inside it. This plugin gives you the source. It doesn’t care how many layers are on top of it or how it’s been masked. It finds the image, gives you the options, and gets out of the way.
