Can I Add Audio in Figma?

Last updated on January 1, 2023 @ 8:30 am

Figma is a great design tool for creating high-fidelity designs, but what about adding audio? Fortunately, Figma makes it easy to add audio files to your designs. Here’s how:

First, you need to install a plugin that will let you add an audio file to your design. To do this, go to Resources > Plugins.

From there, search for the “Punchcut Audio Player” and click on the “Run” button beside it.

In the Punchcut Audio Player plugin’s window, you can choose to add a link to your audio file or simply select from the available options there. Once done, click on the “Save” button.

PRO TIP: While it is possible to add audio in Figma, it is not recommended as it can lead to decreased performance and file size issues. Additionally, audio files can be difficult to work with and often require specialized software.

And that’s it! You’ve successfully added audio to your Figma design. Just click on the layer or component where you added it and the sound will be played.

NOTE: You can also check on the Layers section at the left if your audio was successfully added.

Conclusion:

Adding audio to your Figma designs is a quick and easy process. Simply paste your MP3 or WAV file link to the Punchcut Audio Player plugin or simply choose from the available audio files there and hit the “Save” button. There are also a few things to keep in mind when adding audio to your designs in Figma. First, only MP3 and WAV files are supported. Second, keep in mind that Figma only supports one audio file per frame. So if you have multiple audio files that you want to use in your design, you’ll need to create multiple frames and add each file to a separate frame.
