Adding a gradient to an image in Figma is an easy task that can help you create a visually stunning design. This tutorial will walk you through the necessary steps to do so.
First, open the image or graphic that you would like to add a gradient to in Figma. Select the layer of the image or graphic and click on the “+” icon in the Layers panel to add a new layer above it. This new layer will be used for applying the gradient.
Now, select the Paint Bucket Tool from the toolbar located at the top of the canvas. Then, click on the color palette icon located at the top and choose a gradient from those available. You can also customize your own gradient by clicking on “Edit Gradient”.
After choosing your desired gradient, drag it onto your new layer and resize it accordingly. Then, adjust its opacity and blending mode until you get your desired result.
Finally:
To finish off, select both layers (the original image plus the one with your added gradient) and merge them together using either “Merge Down” from within Layers panel or pressing Command + E (Mac) or Control + E (Windows).
In conclusion, adding a gradient to an image in Figma is simple and straightforward. With just a few clicks and some adjustments, you can easily apply a stunning gradient to any of your designs.
