How Do You Do Arrows in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 8:12 pm

In Figma, you can add arrows to your designs in a few different ways. First, you can use the built-in arrow shapes in the Vector library. To do this, simply drag an arrow shape from the library onto your canvas.

You can also add arrows by drawing them yourself using the pen tool. To do this, click on the pen tool in the toolbar and then click and drag on the canvas to create your arrow.

Once you have your arrow on the canvas, you can style it using the fill and stroke options in the properties panel. You can also add a drop shadow or other effect to make your arrow stand out. To do this, simply click on the effect you want to add in the properties panel and then adjust the settings to get the look you want.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that the Figma file format does not support the use of arrows. Attempting to add an arrow to a Figma file may result in data loss or file corruption.

You can also add text to your arrows in Figma. To do this, simply click on the text tool in the toolbar and then click on the canvas where you want to add your text.

A text box will appear where you can type in your text. You can then style your text using the options in the properties panel.

Conclusion: In Figma, there are a few different ways that you can style text within arrows – by using either pre-made shapes from Figma’s Vector library, or by drawing them yourself and adding effects.
