How Do You Add a Background Texture in Figma?

Last updated on April 23, 2023 @ 8:22 am

Adding a background texture in Figma is a great way to add interest and depth to your design. There are a few different ways to do this, but the easiest is to use the “Noise & Texture” plugin in the “Resources” menu.

To add a background texture, first, go to the Layers window and select the background layer.

From there, go to the top menu and open the Resources window.

In the Resources window, select the Plugins tab and search for a texture type of plugin. In this tutorial, we will use the “Noise & Texture” plugin to add texture to the background layer of our design. Click on the “Run” button beside it to run the plugin.

In the Noise and Texture plugin window, choose the ‘Noise‘ tab and adjust the settings of the texture to your preference. Once done, click on the “Add to layer” button at the bottom part of the window.

This will apply the texture to the entire layer. Once you’re happy with your background texture, you can save it as an image file or export it for use in other software.

PRO TIP: Adding a background texture in Figma can result in your design becoming unrecognizable. Be sure to add just enough amount of texture to properly manage the overall feel of the design.
