Can Figma Insert GIF?

Last updated on November 30, 2022 @ 4:24 am

Figma is a great tool for designers and front-end developers. It has many features that help you create beautiful designs and front-end code.

One of those features is the ability to insert GIFs into your design.

You can insert a GIF into Figma in two ways:

  • Upload a GIF file from your computer
  • Use a URL to insert a GIF from the web

To upload a GIF file from your computer, simply click the “Upload” button in the Figma interface and select the file from your computer. Once the file is uploaded, you can drag and drop it into your design.

PRO TIP: Before attempting to insert a GIF into Figma, it’s important to note that GIFs cannot be inserted directly and must first be converted into a .png file. Additionally, while Figma does support animated .png files, there may be some loss of quality in the conversion process.

To use a URL to insert a GIF, first find the GIF you want to use on the web. Then, copy the URL of the GIF.
In Figma, click on the “Insert” button and paste in the URL. The GIF will be inserted into your design.
