Don't Just Export: The Modern Way to Share Figma Sales Assets

Many sales and marketing teams now use Figma to create stunning, brand-aligned sales assets. Its design-first nature allows for creating beautiful, custom proposals and decks that stand out. But a critical problem arises after the design is done: how do you share it with a client? The common answer is to export it as a PDF. However, this single step undoes much of the value you just created.

The Friction After You Click 'Export'

The problem isn't Figma; it's the delivery method. Relying on a static file format like PDF for client-facing documents introduces frustrating, unnecessary friction.

• No Viewership Analytics: Did the client open the proposal? Which slides did they focus on? With a PDF file, you're in the dark. You can't tell prospect engagement from indifference.
• Painful Updates: If you spot a typo or need to update a pricing figure, you have to edit the Figma file, export a new PDF, and resend it, telling everyone to ignore the previous version. This creates version control chaos.
• Poor Mobile Experience: A dense, design-rich PDF is often difficult to read on a smartphone. Clients are forced to pinch and zoom, leading to a frustrating experience and a lost opportunity.
• Loss of Interactivity: Any embedded links, videos, or animations you planned in Figma are lost when flattened into a static PDF.

The Solution: Share the Link, Not the File

There is a better approach that preserves the quality of your work. Instead of exporting a file and losing all control, you can share your document via a secure web link. The client receives a URL. They click it and instantly view the document in their browser, perfectly rendered on any device. The source file remains secure, and the sharing experience becomes seamless. This modern workflow is possible with services designed for document sharing, and it's a simple change to make. For teams already using Figma, this is the logical next step. You can keep your design workflow and only change the sharing method.

How Featpaper Bridges the Gap for Figma Users

Featpaper is a service built to solve this exact "after-sharing" problem. It allows you to take your finished design from Figma (or any other tool) and deliver it as a professional, trackable web link. Here’s how the experience changes:

• File Way (The Old Way): Design in Figma -> Export to PDF -> Attach to email -> Wonder if it was ever opened -> Find a mistake -> Re-export -> Resend the file.
• Featpaper Way (The New Way): Design in Figma -> Upload to Featpaper -> Get a single link -> Share the link -> Get analytics on who viewed it and for how long -> Find a mistake -> Re-upload, and the SAME link is automatically updated.

Stop emailing files that go into a black hole. With Featpaper, you can share what you made in Figma with a trackable link and see exactly how clients engage with it. Learn how to change your sharing method.

Realistic Usage Scenario: The Sales Deck

Imagine your sales team has just finalized a new, beautifully designed sales deck in Figma. Without Featpaper: They export a 50 MB PDF. It's too large for email, so they upload it to a generic file-sharing service and send a plain download link. The prospect, on their phone, has to download the large file and struggles to read it. The salesperson has no idea if they even looked past the first page. A week later, pricing changes, and the whole process has to be repeated, creating confusion. With Featpaper: They upload the final deck to Featpaper and get one clean, secure link (e.g., company.featpaper.io/sales-deck). They share this link. The salesperson gets a notification the moment the prospect opens it. They can see the prospect spent five minutes on the 'Case Studies' page but only 10 seconds on the 'Pricing' page. This insight allows for a perfectly timed, relevant follow-up call. When pricing changes, the designer updates the deck, and it's replaced in Featpaper. The link they already sent is now instantly, and silently, updated to the latest version. Change How You Send Documents
