How Can I Get SVG Code in Figma?

Last updated on November 27, 2022 @ 5:34 pm

SVG 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 graphic design tool with real-time collaboration features, built by ex-Googlers and used by some of the world’s largest design teams.

So, how can you get SVG code in Figma?

There are a few ways to do this:

    1. Export your design as an SVG file. You can do this by going to File > Export > Export As.. and selecting the SVG file format.
    2. Copy your design as SVG code. You can do this by going to Edit > Copy > Copy as. and selecting the SVG code option.
    3. Use the Figma API to generate your own SVG code. The Figma API allows you to programmatically access your designs, so you can generate SVG code on demand using the language of your choice.

To style text in HTML using < p >,< b > and < u > tags, you would need to use CSS. For example, to make text bold, you would use the < b > tag like this:

This text is bold.

To make text underlined, you would use the < u > tag like this:

This text is underlined.

And finally, to style text as a paragraph, you would use the < p > tag like this:

This text is a paragraph.

PRO TIP: SVG code can be embedded in Figma files, however, there are potential risks associated with doing so. SVG code can potentially contain malicious code which could executed when the file is opened, resulting in data loss or damage to your computer. It is recommended that you only use trusted sources for SVG code, and that you do not open files from untrusted sources.
