About this plugin

SVG Variable Exporter lets you export frames as SVGs that use CSS custom properties (CSS variables) instead of hardcoded color values. Perfect for design systems and developers who want SVGs that automatically adapt to theming.


How it works:

  1. Select one or more frames, components, or instances
  2. Run the plugin
  3. Export to clipboard or download as files


Features:

  1. Automatically detects Figma variables bound to fills and strokes
  2. Uses your variable's WEB code syntax as the CSS custom property name
  3. Falls back to kebab-case variable names when WEB syntax isn't defined
  4. Supports color() function syntax for wide-gamut color workflows
  5. Optionally includes a :root block with resolved fallback values so SVGs work standalone
  6. Preserves all SVG fidelity—uses Figma's native export under the hood


Best for:

  1. Design system maintainers
  2. Developers building themeable interfaces
  3. Teams using Figma variables for design tokens
  4. Anyone who wants SVG icons that respond to CSS theming


Tip: Define WEB code syntax on your Figma variables (e.g., --color-primary) for the cleanes
