Can you annotate in Figma?

Last updated on September 24, 2022 @ 6:45 pm

Annotating in Figma is a great way to add descriptions, comments, and feedback to your designs. You can create annotations in the same way you would any other Figma document, or you can use the Figma Annotation Tool to add annotations to images or illustrations.

When you annotate a document in Figma, you can add text, arrows, and shapes. You can also add icons to your annotations to make them more visible.

You can even add video or audio annotations to your documents.

PRO TIP: There is no annotation tool in Figma. If you try to annotate in Figma, nothing will happen.

Annotation tools are located in the toolbar at the top of the editor window. You can use the toolbar to add or remove annotations, or to change the appearance of your annotations.

When you annotate a document, the annotation appears in the document window, and the annotation is automatically linked to the corresponding object or layer in the document. You can also use the annotation tools to drag and drop annotations between documents.

If you want to share your annotations with other people, you can export your annotations as a PDF or image file.
