Privacy First: 100% Local Processing

The standout feature that sets pdf.tomake.design apart from competitors.

Zero uploads

Your PDF files never leave your computer. All processing happens locally in your browser.

No servers

No data transmission over the network. No storage on external servers.

Complete privacy

Perfect for confidential client files, sensitive documents, and proprietary designs.

Works offline

Once loaded, the plugin works without an internet connection.
Why this matters: Other PDF converters upload your files to their servers, creating privacy risks and potential data breaches. With pdf.tomake.design, your sensitive files never leave your machine.

Three Powerful Conversion Modes

Total import flexibility to fit your exact workflow needs.

Best for: Design work requiring full editabilityConvert PDFs into truly editable Figma designs:
  • All vectors converted to native Figma paths
  • Text preserved as editable Figma text layers
  • Images extracted as separate layers
  • Shapes, paths, and illustrations fully modifiable
  • Perfect for iterating on designs
  • Building design systems from PDFs
  • Creating reusable components

High-Fidelity SVG

Best for: Maintaining exact visual appearanceConverts to SVG for precise rendering:
  • Pixel-perfect visual match to original
  • Preserves complex effects and styling
  • Ideal for logos and brand assets
  • No font matching issues
  • Maintains visual fidelity perfectly
  • Best for branding materials

Rasterized Images

Best for: Quick previews and referencesConverts to high-quality images:
  • Fastest conversion method
  • Perfect for mockups and presentations
  • Smallest file size
  • Great for reference materials
  • Ideal for mood boards in FigJam
  • Quick visual references

Core features

Blazing-fast parallel processing

Our optimized rendering pipeline processes multiple pages simultaneously:
  • Pages render in parallel for maximum speed
  • Complex, multi-page documents convert quickly
  • Real-time progress indicators
  • Efficient handling of large files
  • Spend less time waiting, more time designing
Even 100+ page documents convert in seconds thanks to parallel processing.

Multi-page import

Convert entire PDF documents at once:
  • Import all pages in one operation
  • Selective page import (choose specific pages)
  • Page range support (e.g., pages 1-5, 10-15)
  • Customizable page layouts and spacing
  • Organized frame structure in Figma

Works everywhere

Seamlessly integrates across the Figma ecosystem:

Figma

Full design files

FigJam

Collaborative boards

Figma Slides

Presentations

Intelligent image handling

  • Automatic extraction: Pulls all images from PDF
  • High-resolution: Extracts at original or higher quality
  • Format support: JPEG, PNG, TIFF, and more
  • Transparency: Preserves alpha channels
  • Organization: Images organized as layers or embedded in frames
  • Optimization: Optional compression for better performance

Conversion features

Vector graphics

PDF vectors convert to native Figma vectors:
  • Paths and bezier curves preserved
  • Shapes and primitives maintained
  • Strokes and fills converted
  • Gradients supported
  • Blending modes preserved
  • Layer effects converted

Layout preservation

Maintain exact layout from PDF:
  • Page dimensions preserved
  • Element positioning accurate within 1-2px
  • Z-index and layer order maintained
  • Spacing and alignment kept
  • Margins and padding converted
  • Responsive scaling options

Color management

Accurate color conversion:
  • RGB color space
  • CMYK to RGB conversion
  • Spot color support
  • Gradients and patterns

Font handling

Smart font conversion:
  • Font family matching
  • Weight and style preservation
  • Size and line height maintained
  • Character spacing kept
  • Text effects converted
  • Fallback font options
For editable text, fonts must be installed in Figma. If a font isn’t available, Figma will substitute a similar font that you can change manually.
