Can I Draw SVG on Figma?

Last updated on November 26, 2022 @ 2:51 pm

SVG, or Scalable Vector Graphics, is an image format that can be used on websites and in design programs like Figma. SVG images are made up of code, which means they can be scaled to any size without losing quality.

This makes them ideal for responsive web design.

PRO TIP: It is not currently possible to draw SVG images in Figma. If you attempt to do so, you may experience unexpected results.

What is SVG?

SVG is a vector graphic image format that stands for Scalable Vector Graphics. Vector graphics are made up of lines and curves defined by mathematical objects called vectors, which allow the image to be scaled or resized without losing quality. That’s why SVG images are perfect for responsive web design.

How do I use SVG in Figma?

To add an SVG file to your Figma project, simply drag and drop it onto the canvas. You can also use the “Insert” menu, or copy and paste the code into a frame. Once the file is added, you can resize it without losing any quality.

Can I style text with SVG?

Yes! You can use the < p >, < b >, and < u > tags in your SVG code to style text.

For example, to make text bold, you would use the < b > tag. To underline text, you would use the < u > tag. And to style text as a paragraph, you would use the < p > tag.
