PixelSqueeze quickstart

Select layers, pick a format and quality, export. Everything in this guide is free.

Install the plugin

1. Open PixelSqueeze on the Figma Community and click Install.
2. Open any Figma or FigJam file.
3. Run it from Plugins → PixelSqueeze, or press Cmd/Ctrl + / and type "PixelSqueeze".

Your first export

1. Select the layers you want as files: frames, groups, images, anything exportable. The first line in the plugin lists what is selected. Up to 10 layers per batch are free.
2. Pick a format. JPEG for photos, WebP for the web, PNG-8 for flat interfaces and icons, PNG for lossless with alpha.
3. Pick a scale. 1x exports at design size; 2x and 3x for high-density screens; 0.5x for thumbnails. Choose Custom factor or Target width for anything else.
4. Set quality. JPEG and WebP take a quality from 1 to 100 (80 is a good default). PNG-8 takes a palette size from 16 to 256 colors plus dithering.
5. Click Export and compress selection.

One file downloads directly under its layer name. Several files arrive as a single ZIP, and the list shows every file's size before and after and the percentage saved.
