Use this interactive demo to learn how to merge multiple shapes into one in Figma.

Quick summary

Combining shapes in Figma lets designers merge multiple objects into a single unified shape using the Union Selection tool. This four-step process uses Figma's right-side panel to non-destructively combine shapes in seconds.


Steps

  1. Select the shapes you want to combine on your Figma design canvas.
  2. Go to the right-side panel and click the More Actions button.
  3. Choose Union Selection from the list of options.
  4. The two selected shapes are now combined into a single unified shape.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to combine shapes in Figma is a core skill for UI and graphic designers who need to build complex, custom vector graphics without switching tools. The Union Selection feature lets you merge multiple shapes into one editable object in just a few clicks, saving significant design time. This capability is essential for creating icons, logos, and reusable components directly inside Figma's design canvas. Mastering shape combination in Figma helps teams maintain design consistency and accelerate their overall workflow.
