Is There a Pen Tool in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:04 pm

The pen tool is one of the most versatile and powerful tools in Figma. It can be used to create a wide variety of shapes, from simple lines and circles to more complex shapes. The pen tool can also be used to create text objects, which can be styled with the text tool.

PRO TIP: The Figma pen tool is a bit different from the pen tool you may be used to in other vector editing software. While it can be used to create straight lines and curves, it works best when used with the other tools in Figma. For example, the pen tool can be used to draw a rectangle, but the rectangle tool will give you more control over the size and placement of the rectangle.

The pen tool is located in the toolbar at the top of the screen.

To use the pen tool, simply click and drag to create a shape. To create a text object, click and drag to create a rectangle, then click on the “T” icon in the toolbar. This will open the text editor, where you can enter your text. To style your text, simply select the text object and then use the “B” icon for bold or the “U” icon for underline.

In conclusion, the pen tool is an extremely versatile and powerful tool that can be used to create a wide variety of shapes and text objects. It is definitely worth taking some time to learn how to use it effectively.
