Last updated on March 14, 2023 @ 10:04 am

Figma is a vector graphics editor and design tool, created by Dylan Shipley, George Eddie, and Paddy Johnson-Lynch. Figma is used by designers at companies like Google, Facebook, Netflix, and Uber.

Figma has a clickable button feature that allows you to quickly create buttons that are clickable and interactive. This is a great way to add buttons to your designs that can be used for navigation or other purposes.

To create a clickable button in Figma, first select the “Prototype” tab in the right menu.

Now, select the button that you want to be clickable, then click on the “+” icon under the Prototype tab to add an interaction.

In the Interaction details window, select “On click” and “Open link” from the options. Then add the link to the page you want to appear when the button is clicked.

PRO TIP: When creating a clickable button in Figma, be sure to use the “On click” option and not the “On drag” option. The “On click” option will allow you to add a clickable link to your button. If you use the “On drag” option, your button will not be clickable.

Once done, click on the “X” icon to close the Interaction details window.

Finally, go to the “Play” button in the upper-right corner and click on it to see a preview of your design.

Now, once you hover your cursor over the button, it will change into a hand-like icon indicating that the button is clickable.

Conclusion:

Creating clickable buttons in Figma is a quick and easy way to add interactivity to your designs. By using the “Interactions details” feature of the Prototype tab in the properties panel, you can add various interactions to your buttons, such as hover effects or link actions. You can also style your button using the various options in the “Design” tab of the right panel.
