Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:34 pm

There’s no denying that GIFs are a popular way to communicate online. They’re fun, expressive, and often convey a message more effectively than words alone. So it’s no surprise that people are wondering if they can use GIFs in Figma, the popular design tool.

The short answer is yes, you can use GIFs in Figma. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when doing so.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that Figma does not support the dropping of GIFs. Attempting to do so may result in lost or corrupted data.

First of all, GIFs can be quite large files, so you’ll want to make sure you’re using a service that can host them (such as Giphy or Imgur). Secondly, because GIFs are typically designed for social media platforms like Twitter and Tumblr, they may not always look great when used in a design tool like Figma.

That said, there are ways to work around these issues and use GIFs in Figma successfully. If you’re looking for advice on how to do so, check out this helpful guide from the Figma community.

So there you have it! You can use GIFs in Figma, but there are a few things to keep in mind when doing so. With a little bit of planning and effort, you can create designs that incorporate GIFs in a way that looks great and communicates your message effectively.
