How Do I Make Text Size Responsive in Figma?

Last updated on December 2, 2022 @ 4:52 am

It’s no secret that the web is becoming increasingly more mobile-friendly. In fact, according to StatCounter, over 50% of web traffic worldwide is generated through mobile devices. This trend is only going to continue to grow, which is why it’s important to make sure that your website is responsive.

One of the most important aspects of responsive design is making sure that your text is legible and easy to read on all devices. This can be a challenge, as the size of text on a mobile device is often much smaller than on a desktop. But with a few simple CSS tricks, you can make sure that your text is responsive and looks great on any screen size.

The first thing you need to do is set a base font size for your website. This can be done in the section of your HTML document:

PRO TIP: Figma is a great tool for designing responsive web applications, but there are a few things to keep in mind when using it. One of those things is making sure that your text is sized responsively.

If your text is not sized responsively, it could end up being too small or too large on different screen sizes. This could make your web application look bad and could be difficult for users to read.

To make sure that your text is sized responsively, you need to use the Text Size menu in Figma. This menu allows you to set the size of your text based on the width of the screen.

You can also use the Text Size menu to set a minimum and maximum size for your text. This way, you can make sure that your text always looks good on any screen size.

< head >
< style >
body {
font-size: 16px; /* Set your base font size here */
}
< /style >
< /head >

Next, you need to use media queries to adjust the font size for different screen sizes. Media queries are CSS rules that allow you to specify different styles for different devices.

For example, you could have one set of styles for desktop browsers and another set of styles for mobile browsers. Or you could have different styles for different screen sizes, like tablets and phones.

In order to make your text responsive, you’ll want to use media queries to adjust the font size based on the width of the screen. The following CSS code will increase the font size by 1vw (1% of the viewport width) for screens that are 480px wide or less:

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
body {
font-size: calc(16px + 1vw);
}

/* Add this code to your < head > section */

< meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" > /* Make your text responsive */
