How Do I Insert a Picture in Shape Figma?

Last updated on December 1, 2022 @ 2:36 pm

There are a few different ways that you can insert a picture into a shape in Figma. The first way is to simply click on the “Insert” menu and select “Image.”

This will bring up your operating system’s file browser. Navigate to the folder that contains the image you wish to insert and select it. The image will then be inserted into the shape.

another way to do this is to drag and drop the image file from your operating system’s file browser into the Figma window.

You can also insert images from a URL. To do this, select the “Insert” menu and select “Image from URL.”

This will bring up a dialog box where you can enter the URL of the image you wish to insert.

Once you have inserted an image into a shape, you can move it around and resize it as needed. To move the image, simply click on it and drag it to the desired location. To resize the image, click on it and drag one of the handles that appear on its sides or corners.

You can also add text to shapes in Figma. To do this, click on the “Text” button in the toolbar and then click inside the shape where you want to add text.

A text box will appear where you can enter your text. You can format the text using the various options in the toolbar above the text box. These include options for changing the font size, font family, text alignment, and more.

To style text in HTML using < p >,< b > and < u > tags where applicable, simply add these tags around the relevant text in your code. For example, if you wanted to make a certain piece of text bold, you would surround that text with < b > tags like so: This text is bold.

If you wanted to make a certain piece of text italicized, you would surround that text with < i > tags like so: This text is italicized. And if you wanted to underline a piece of text, you would surround that text with < u > tags like so: This text is underlined.

PRO TIP: Inserting a picture into a Figma shape can be tricky and may result in the picture being distorted or not appearing at all. If you’re not careful, you may end up with a shapes that looks nothing like the original.
