Adding GIFs in Figma is a great way to add some personality to your designs. They can be used to add visual interest, or to animate your designs.

To add a GIF in Figma, first, open the file that you want to add the GIF to. Then, go to the ‘Insert’ menu and select ‘Image’.

This will open up your computer’s file browser. Navigate to the GIF that you want to insert and select it. Finally, click ‘Open’ and the GIF will be inserted into your design.

You can also add GIFs by copying and pasting them into Figma. To do this, first, find a GIF that you want to use. Then, copy the URL of the GIF.

PRO TIP: If you are planning on adding GIFs into your Figma design, beware that there is currently no way to do this. The Figma team is aware of this issue and is working on a fix, but in the meantime, you’ll have to use another program to add GIFs into your design.

Next, open Figma and go to the ‘File’ menu. Select ‘Paste from URL..’ and paste in the URL of the GIF that you copied. Finally, click ‘OK’ and the GIF will be added to your design.

Figma also allows you to style text using HTML tags. To do this, first, select the text that you want to style. Then, go to the ‘Format’ menu and select ‘Text Styles’. This will open up the Text Styles panel.

In this panel, you can select from a variety of different text styles or create your own. To style text using HTML tags, simply type in the tags that you want to use in the ‘Text’ field. For example, typing this will make the word ‘this’ bold. Typing this will make the word ‘this’ underlined.

So, can you add GIFs in Figma? Yes! Adding GIFs is a great way to add some personality to your designs.
