The problem
Why deliver a .fig rather than an invitation?
The Figma invitation is perfect for collaborating — but at the end of an engagement, the client wants to own their files, not depend on your subscription and your access rights. Contractual delivery goes through a local .fig export… which quickly weighs several hundred megabytes with embedded images.
And that’s where the usual options jam: the attachment caps at 20-25 MB, the drive demands yet another account, and keeping the client as a "viewer" in your workspace isn’t a delivery — it’s a dependency.
The right move: export the .fig files and transfer them in one link. TransferNow does it for free up to 5 GB.

The solutions
Four ways to deliver a Figma project
Ongoing collaboration or final delivery? The two are handled differently. An honest comparison.
| Method | Max size | Quality | For the recipient |
|---|---|---|---|
| TransferNow (exported .fig)Recommended | 5 GB free · 500 GB with an account | Complete local copy, pages and components | One click, no account |
| Invitation into the Figma file | N/A | Living, up-to-date file | Figma account required, tied to your workspace |
| PDF/PNG export of the mockups | Light | Frozen visuals, no components | Read-only |
| Drive / cloud storage | Depends on the account quota | Intact | Account or permissions often required |
The transferred .fig: the delivery that closes the engagement
Export each file (File → Save local copy), add the exported assets, and send it all in one link. The client imports the .fig into their own Figma workspace: pages, layers, components and variants in full — they’re home.
The invitation: collaboration, not delivery
While the project is alive, the invitation is unbeatable. But it ties the client to your workspace and your subscription: if the engagement ends, the contractual delivery still has to happen — as .fig files.
PDF/PNG exports: show the result, not the system
PNG boards are enough for an approval committee. But without the source file, there’s no workable design system: components, styles and variants stay with you.
The cloud: account friction, again
Dropping the .fig files on a drive works, but it forces an account and permissions back onto the recipient. A direct link with a limited lifespan is simpler — and it expires on its own.

Frequently asked questions
How do I export a Figma file to send it?
In Figma: File → Save local copy (.fig). Then drag the file into TransferNow and share the link — the recipient imports it into their own Figma workspace.
Does the .fig keep components and variants?
Yes: the local copy embeds pages, components, variants and styles. The file travels byte for byte, and the import restores everything in the recipient’s workspace.
Why not simply invite the client into the file?
The invitation suits collaboration, not delivery: the client stays dependent on your workspace and your subscription. At the end of the engagement, deliver the .fig files — they become the owner of their files.
Can I include the exported assets in the same transfer?
Yes: icons, images, documentation… drag in the complete folder, the structure is preserved and everything goes out in a single link.
How large can my Figma files be?
Up to 5 GB per transfer for free, with no sign-up — and up to 500 GB with an account.
