Does Figma preserve XMP metadata?

Why compliance metadata should be applied to final artwork after design and export steps.

Definition

Design and image-export pipelines can decode, composite, and re-encode media instead of copying every original metadata segment or chunk.

Example

A practical workflow is: generate or edit media → composite in Figma → export final artwork → add required disclosure metadata → verify the final file → upload.

How to inspect

Inspect the exact exported JPEG or PNG rather than assuming metadata from an earlier source file remains present.

How this product uses it

For AI Gen Compliance writes supported metadata to the final artwork and immediately parses the generated file again before download.

Limitations

Export behavior can vary by file type, feature, and product version. This page does not claim that every Figma export removes or preserves every metadata field.
