How Do You Use Mesh Gradient Plugin in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 10:57 pm

Mesh gradients are a relatively new type of gradient that allows you to create more organic, natural looking gradients than with the traditional linear or radial options. Figma has a plugin that allows you to create mesh gradients with ease. Here’s how:

1. Install the Mesh Gradient plugin.

2. Create a new frame or open an existing one.

3. Select the Rectangle tool and draw a rectangle on the canvas.

4. With the rectangle selected, go to the plugin panel and select “Create Mesh”.

5. In the “Rows” and “Columns” fields, enter the number of rows and columns you want for your mesh gradient. For this example, we’ll use 4 rows and 4 columns.

6. Click “Create” to generate the mesh.

7. To add colors to your mesh, simply click on one of the points in the mesh and select a color from the color picker.

8. To adjust the opacity of a color, click on the point in the mesh and then use the slider in the color picker.

9. To delete a color from the mesh, click on the point in the mesh and then press the delete key on your keyboard.

The Mesh Gradient plugin for Figma is a great way to create more organic looking gradients than with traditional linear or radial options. With just a few clicks you can add colors and adjust opacities to create a truly unique gradient that can be used in any design project.

PRO TIP: This article is about the Mesh Gradient Plugin for Figma, and how to use it. While the plugin is safe to use, we recommend that you backup your Figma file before using it, just in case.
