How Do I Change a Component Image in Figma?

When you want to quickly change an image in Figma, it is important to understand how the process works. To start, open the file you would like to edit and select the component containing the image you want to replace.

Then, click on the component frame and select ‘Image’ from the toolbar. This will open a menu of options for replacing or editing your image.

Replacing an Image

If you would like to replace the existing image with a new one, click on ‘Replace Image’ in the menu bar. This will prompt you to choose an image from your computer or from one of Figma’s libraries of stock images. Once you have selected your desired image, click ‘Open’ and it will replace the current image in your component frame.

Editing an Image

If you would like to edit an existing image instead of replacing it, click on ‘Edit Image’ in the menu bar. This will open a window where you can use tools such as crop and rotate, filters, and adjustments such as tint or contrast to customize your image.

You can also add shapes or text directly onto the canvas as well as adjust its opacity or color blend mode. When you are satisfied with your edits, simply click ‘Done’ to save them and they will be reflected in your component frame.

Conclusion

Changing a component image in Figma is simple once you understand the process – just open up your file and select the component containing the desired image before clicking either ‘Replace Image’ or ‘Edit Image’ from the toolbar menu. Replacing an existing image is straightforward – just select one from your computer or one of Figma’s stock libraries – while editing allows for more customizations through tools such as filters and adjustments before saving when complete.
