How to use the Envato Figma plugin
How to add Envato Elements Photos to your projects
- Navigate to the Photos tab.
- Enter a keyword in the search box.
- Drag your selected image from your search result into your Figma project.
- Once you've successfully connected your paid Envato Elements account within Figma, you will see that watermarks are removed from your selected photos once they are loaded to your project. Note - These photos will also be added to your My Downloads page in your Envato Elements account and associated with a default project named 'Figma.' See below on how to change the default project name in Figma.
How to change your default project name
We'll add your assets to a default project named 'Figma' in your My Downloads page on Envato Elements. This allows you to find them easily later. To change the project name:
- Navigate to the Settings cog in the top right of the Figma plugin.
- Rename your project under the Name Your Project section.
- Continue to add assets to your Figma file under your new project name.
How to generate icons for your projects
- Navigate to the IconGen tab
- Select from over thirty styles of icons.
- Once you have selected your preferred style, enter the keyword in the search box.
- Four icons matching your selected style and keyword will be generated.
- Clicking on an icon will open icon variants for you to choose from, including SVG, no background or PNG variations.
- Dragging the icon by clicking Insert icon into Figma will bring your icon into your project.
Troubleshooting Tips
I'm still seeing a watermark despite being connected to my paid Envato Elements account
- The Envato Elements watermark will disappear from the image once it has been dropped into the project and fully loaded.
- If you have selected an image and dropped it into a project before connecting to your paid Envato Elements subscription, you will need to replace the image with the licensed version for the watermark to removed.
