Convert text to vector paths

 Convert any of your text layers into vector paths.

When you convert text to a vector path, you will no longer be able to edit the text or any properties associated with it. However, you will be able to edit the vector paths in vector edit mode.

This will allow you to continue to edit text as vector objects, allowing you to:

• Customize aspects of a typeface
• Create logos or wordmarks
• Prepare assets for printing
• Reduce file or export size
• Combine multiple paths into a single object

There are two methods available: flatten text or outline stroke.

Flatten text

When you flatten text layers, Figma will:

• Combine any objects or layers you selected into a single layer
• Convert text layers from editable text to vector paths

To flatten a text layer:

1. Select the text layer(s) you want to flatten:
2. Right-click on the layers (in the canvas or in the layers panel) and select Flatten.

Once flattened, the layers will be combined into a single layerl

You can double-click on the layer to enter edit object mode.

Outline stroke

When you use outline stroke, Figma will:

• Convert text layers from editable text to vector paths
• Not combine any objects or layers you selected into a single layer

To apply outline stroke:

1. Right-click on the layer in the canvas.
2. Select outline stroke.

When Outline stroke is applied, each glyph (or letter) converts to its own vector node—so you can edit each glyph individually.
