How Do I Add a Texture Background in Figma?

Adding texture backgrounds in Figma is an easy and straightforward process. You can change the background of a layer or an entire canvas with a few clicks.

A textured background can make your design stand out, give it more character, and provide visual interest.

To start, select the layer or canvas you want to add the texture to. Then click the “+” icon in the top right corner and select “Background” from the drop-down menu. A new panel will appear with several options for adding textures to your design.

There are two ways to add a texture in Figma: You can either upload your own image or choose one of their pre-made textures. If you choose to upload your own, click on the “Upload” button at the top of the panel and select an image from your computer.

The second option is to select one of Figma’s built-in textures. These come in various sizes and styles, from subtle gradients to detailed patterns. To use them, simply click on one of the thumbnails and it will automatically be applied to your design.

Customizing Your Texture Background

Once you have selected a texture, you can further customize it by adjusting its size, opacity, and blend mode. To do this, click on the “Settings” tab at the top of the panel and adjust any of these parameters as desired.

Adding Textures To Multiple Layers

You can also apply textures to multiple layers at once by selecting them all and then clicking on the texture thumbnail you want to use. This is especially useful if you have a lot of elements that need a consistent background.
