How Add SVG to Figma?

Last updated on December 1, 2022 @ 12:43 am

SVG, or Scalable Vector Graphics, is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999.

Figma is a vector graphics editor and design tool, primarily used by web designers and front-end developers. It has a web-based interface and can be used on any platform, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.

SVG images can be added to Figma in a number of ways:

PRO TIP: When adding SVG to Figma, be sure to use the “Insert” function and not “drag and drop.” If you drag and drop, the image will not be inserted as an SVG.
    1. By dragging and dropping the file into the Figma interface
    2. By copying and pasting the file into Figma
    3. By importing the file into Figma using the “File > Import” menu option

Once an SVG image is added to a Figma project, it can be edited and styled just like any other vector graphic. To edit an SVG image in Figma, simply select it and then use the various tools in the toolbar to make changes.

To style an SVG image, select it and then use the “Fill” and “Stroke” options in the toolbar to change its color. The “Text” tool can also be used to add text to an SVG image.
