How Do I Put an Image in Text in Figma?

Last updated on April 14, 2023 @ 5:04 am

When you add an image to a text in Figma, you can easily style it using the Text section in the Design tab. Here’s how you can  place an image in your text in Figma:

To add an image to your text, first, select the Text tool from the toolbar and create a text box where you can type in your text.

Then, go to the File menu and select the “Place image” option.

NOTE: This allows you to select an image from your files and upload it into Figma.

Once you have uploaded the image, place it on top of your text in the canvas.

From there, select both the image and text layers, then go to the top menu and click on the “Use as mask” button.

NOTE: The “Use as mask” button creates a mask layer for the selected layers.

And there you have it! The image is now placed inside the text. You can then use the Text section under the Design tab to add more style to your text.

NOTE: You can see that both of the layers were merged into a Mask group.

You can put an image in text in Figma by using the “Use as mask” option. Simply place your image on top of your text, then select both layers and click on the “Use as mask” button at the top menu. This will create a mask for both layers which in effect puts your image inside of the text.

PRO TIP: If you are using Figma to design a project that will be printed, it is important to know that you can easily put an image in the text. This means that your image can be placed inside of your text, and can be used as a design. If you want to add an image to your text, you can simply use the “Use as mask” option in the top menu and use it for your project.
