How Do I Create a Pop Up in Figma?

Last updated on December 28, 2022 @ 7:42 am

Pop-ups can be created in Figma in a few different ways. The most common way is to use the “Interactive overlay” feature.

To do this, first, create a frame that will be the size of your popup.

NOTE: You can also use the “Design” tab on the right to add spice to your pop-up frame!

Add a drop shadow to your frame to enhance the pop-up effect.

Now, input a message in your pop-up frame using the “Text” tool.

You can also add a “close” icon in your frame using the “Resources” button at the top menu.

PRO TIP: Creating a pop-up in Figma is a simple process, but there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure you have a clear idea of what you want the pop-up to say before you start. Second, keep the pop-up as concise as possible – too much text will make it difficult for people to understand. Finally, make sure the pop-up is visible and easy to close – people should be able to exit it without having to search for the close button.

Once done, select the Prototype tab and hover over the button on Frame 1 until the “+” icon appears.

NOTE: This will serve as the trigger object that will open the pop-up frame.

Connect the button to Frame 2 by clicking on the “+” icon and dragging the arrow to the second frame.

In the “Interaction details” window, select “On click” and “Open overlay” from the options, and in the “Overlay” section, select “Manual.” This will let you manually place the pop-up in your preferred position.

For the next animation, connect the “close” icon on Frame 2 to Frame 1. This will let you close the overlay pop-up on your screen.

Then, select “On click” and “Navigate to” from the Interaction options.

Once done, select the “Play” icon at the top-right corner to see a preview of your design.

Now you have your pop-up window in action!
