Save the Figma file you have open to FileOpener

Goal

Bookmark a Figma or FigJam file, such as a template, a design system or a client project, so you can reopen it in one click.

Before you start

• FileOpener installed from Figma Community.
• The file you want to save open in Figma or FigJam.

Steps

1. Open FileOpener in that file Run FileOpener from the Plugins menu while the file you want to save is open.
2. Go to the right folder Click a folder to open it. Add saves into the folder you are looking at; at Home the file is saved without a folder.
3. Click Add If FileOpener already knows this file's link, the file is saved right away with a link to the frame you have selected, or to the current page, and you see "File saved with shareable link 🔗".
4. Paste the link the first time If a Connect window opens instead, copy the file's link in Figma (Share > Copy link), paste it into Figma File URL and click Save File. FileOpener says "Connected file key for" and the file name.
5. Click Add again Connecting only teaches FileOpener the file's link. Click Add once more to save the file to your library. From now on, Add works straight away in this file.

Tips

• Select the frame you want to land on before you click Add: the saved link opens the file at that frame.
• Clicking Add twice saves the file twice. Delete the extra entry by dragging it onto Delete.

Result

The file is in your library under the file's name, ready to open with one click.

If something goes wrong

• I clicked Save File but the file is not in my list. Save File connects the link; it does not save the file yet. Click Add again.
• "Error: Invalid input: Please provide a valid Figma URL or file key" Paste the full link from Share > Copy link, for example https://www.figma.com/design/…, or just the file key from it.
• Pressing Enter in the link field does nothing. Click Save File instead.
