How to Bend the Text in Figma

Use this interactive demo to learn how to create curved and arched text effects in Figma.

Quick summary

This tutorial shows how to bend text in Figma using the Arc plugin via the Actions menu. Designers can apply a curved text effect to any text layer by selecting it, choosing the Arc action, and adjusting the bend strength slider before applying.


Steps

  1. Go to the left-side panel and select the text layer you wish to bend.
  2. Click the Actions button at the bottom section of the canvas.
  3. Search for "Arc" and choose it from the suggested results.
  4. Specify your preferred Bend Strength by dragging its slider to your desired level.
  5. Tap Apply to confirm the settings.
  6. The bend effect will be added to the selected text layer.

📌 Why this matters

Bending text in Figma is a sought-after design technique used to create curved logos, badge typography, circular labels, and eye-catching headings. Figma does not natively support arc or curved text, so knowing how to use the Arc plugin through the Actions menu is an essential skill for UI designers, brand designers, and illustrators. This workflow lets designers apply precise bend strength to any text layer without leaving Figma, saving time and keeping design assets in one place. Mastering curved text effects in Figma directly improves the quality and versatility of visual design output.
