How Do I Put a GIF in a Figma?

GIFs have become a popular way to communicate ideas, share emotions, and tell stories. Adding a GIF to Figma can make your design stand out and give it a bit of personality. It’s easy to do and there are several ways to go about it.

The first way is to use the built-in GIF search in Figma.

On the left side of the screen, click on the “GIF” tab and type in your search term. You’ll be presented with a selection of GIFs that match your search query. Once you find one you like, simply drag and drop it onto your canvas. You can adjust the size, opacity, and rotation as needed.

The second way is to upload your own GIF directly into Figma. On the left side of the screen, click on the “Upload” tab and select “GIF” from the drop-down menu.

You can then drag and drop any .gif files from your computer into Figma. Again, you can adjust size, opacity, and rotation as needed.

If you want some extra control over how the GIF looks in Figma, you can use HTML code to embed it directly into a frame or text box. To do this, create a text box or frame in Figma and add an <img> tag with the source set to your GIF URL (you can get this by right-clicking on an existing GIF).

For example: <img src=”https://media1.giphy.com/media/3o6ozq3YVvwLljK8cU/giphy.gif”>. This will embed the GIF directly into your frame or text box.

Using Figma’s built-in tools or HTML code, adding a GIF to your designs is simple and straightforward. It allows you to bring life and personality to otherwise bland designs – so don’t be afraid to experiment!

Conclusion:

Adding a GIF to your design in Figma is easy – whether you use one of their built-in tools or HTML code for extra control over how it looks on screen. Experiment with different options until you find something that fits perfectly with what you’re trying to communicate.
