Figma is a vector drawing and animation software. As with most vector software, there are multiple ways to create and edit your work. In Figma, you can use the pen tool, the shape tool, or the text tool to create and edit your designs.

The pen tool is the most basic way to draw in Figma. To use the pen tool, simply click on the canvas where you want to start drawing.

Then, click and drag to create your line. You can also double-click to create a corner point, or click and drag to create a curved line. To finish your line, simply release the mouse button.

The shape tool is another way to draw in Figma. To use the shape tool, select it from the toolbar on the left side of the screen.

Then, click and drag on the canvas to create your shape. To finish your shape, simply release the mouse button.

PRO TIP: This guide is for Figma beginners. It covers the basics of how to use Figma, including an overview of the interface and how to create your first project.

The text tool is used to add text to your design. To use the text tool, select it from the toolbar on the left side of the screen. Then, click on the canvas where you want to add your text.

A text box will appear, and you can type your text into it. To format your text, you can use the Bold, Italic, Underline, and Strike through buttons in the toolbar above the text box. You can also change the font size, color, and alignment of your text using the options in the toolbar above the text box.

To move any element that you’ve created in Figma, simply click on it and then drag it to where you want it to go. You can also use the arrow keys on your keyboard to nudge an element one pixel at a time. If you want to delete an element, simply select it and press delete on your keyboard.

When you’re finished designing in Figma, you can export your work as an image or PDF file. To export your work as an image file, select File > Export from the menu bar at the top of the screen.

In the Export dialog box that appears, select Image from the Export Type drop-down menu. Then choose where you want to save your file and click Export.

To export your work as a PDF file, select File > Export from the menu bar at the top of the screen. In
