Emojis can help make your design feel more friendly and expressive. Unfortunately, Figma doesn’t offer an inbuilt tool to add emojis. In this guide, we will allow you to add emojis without relying on a plugin using an inbuilt emoji keyboard on Windows and Mac.
What we cover

- Open Figma on your browser and sign in with your credentials. Next, open the design file you’re working on from Recently viewed.
- After the design file is loaded, add a text box by pressing T or loading the Text box from the toolbar and dragging over the canvas.
- Once the text box is added, press Windows + . key combination to load the emoji keyboard on Windows.
- Now, explore the emoji and click on any to add the emoji to the text box in Figma.

Wrapping Up
Congratulations on learning how to add an emoji to Figma!
While there isn’t an option to add an emoji in Figma, the emoji keyboard eases the process without needing plugins. The best part of this approach is that the emoji are added as text, so the size can be adjusted by changing the font size.
