WHAT THIS RESULT MEANS

Using .HEIC files in Figma

Figma can open .HEIC files directly, but editing is limited. Some original structure or file properties may not remain fully editable after import.

Recommended Method

Drag the HEIC file onto the Figma Design canvas or use Place image/video. Figma adds it as an image fill that can be positioned, cropped, resized and visually adjusted.

Compatibility Notes

Figma Design supports HEIC image uploads directly. Imported HEIC content is treated as an image fill rather than a structured editable image document. Assets larger than 4096 by 4096 pixels are automatically scaled so the longest dimension is 4096 pixels or less, and some metadata may be lost during resizing.
