How to make magazines in Figma
Watch Print for Figma set up a print-ready magazine — every step, exactly as it works in the plugin.
- 1
Find the toolbar. In a new Figma file, the Actions icon lives in the floating toolbar at the bottom of the canvas.
- 2
Open the Print for Figma plugin. Click the Actions icon — or press Ctrl+K (⌘K on Mac) — and choose Print for Figma from your recents.
- 3
Enter the exact size. Type 8.375×10.875 in into Width and Height — the preset switches to 'Custom'.
- 4
Set pages to 4. Print for Figma creates 4 identically sized pages at once.
- 5
Turn on 'Bleed & Crop Marks'. Adds 0.125 in of bleed so color runs to the trimmed edge of your magazine.
- 6
Click 'Create'. The plugin generates 4 print-ready pages on the canvas.
- 7
Add a cover. A strong masthead and one dominant image sell the issue — keep cover lines short.
- 8
Add your content pages. Set body text in columns with a consistent grid so every spread feels related.
- 9
Add a back cover. The back stays quiet — a logo and an issue barcode are all it needs.
- 10
Done!. A four-page magazine at the exact 8.375×10.875 in trim, designed and ready to export as a print-ready PDF.
