How Do I Add Materials to Figma?

Adding materials to Figma is easy and can help you quickly create prototypes and designs. Materials are objects that can be used in Figma, like icons, illustrations, text styles, color palettes, and more. It’s a great way to save time and make sure that your designs look consistent across different projects.

To add materials to Figma, first open the Materials panel. This can be found on the right side of the Figma interface. Then click the plus (+) icon at the top of this panel.

This will open a new window where you can search for and select materials from Figma’s library.

You can also upload your own images or icons from other sources like Unsplash or The Noun Project. To do this, click the “Upload Image” button in the materials panel and choose an image from your computer or a URL. You can also drag-and-drop images directly into the Materials panel.

Once you have uploaded or selected an image or icon for your material, you will be able to customize it by changing its size, color, rotation angle, blur effect, texture, etc. To do this simply select the material from your Materials panel and make adjustments using the options in the Properties Panel.

You can also add text styles to your materials library by selecting “Text Styles” from the plus (+) icon dropdown menu in the Materials panel. This will open a new window where you can create text styles with different font sizes, weights, colors and more.

Conclusion:

Adding materials to Figma is quick and easy – just open up the Materials panel on the right side of your Figma interface and click on either “Upload Image” or “Text Styles” from the plus (+) icon dropdown menu. From there you can customize your materials to create consistent designs for all of your projects.
