How Do I Create a Cover for a Figma File?

Last updated on November 27, 2022 @ 6:22 pm

Creating a Figma file cover is a quick and easy way to add some personality to your project. There are a few different ways you can go about creating a cover, but we’ll walk you through the process of creating a simple one using the Rectangle tool and the fill options.

First, open up a new Figma file and create a rectangle that covers the entire canvas. You can do this by selecting the Rectangle tool from the left toolbar and clicking and dragging on the canvas to create your rectangle. Once you have your rectangle, you can use the fill options in the right toolbar to change the color or add a pattern to your rectangle.

Next, you’ll want to add some text to your cover. You can do this by selecting the Text tool from the left toolbar and clicking on the canvas where you’d like to add your text.

A text box will appear and you can type out whatever you’d like. To change the font or color of your text, you can use the options in the right toolbar.

Once you’re happy with your cover, you can save it as an image by going to File > Export > PNG from the top menu bar.

That’s it! You’ve now created a simple cover for your Figma file.

PRO TIP: When creating a cover for a Figma file, be sure to use an image that is high quality and at least 300 DPI. Be sure the image is not too small or it will appear pixelated.
