If you’re working with a text box featuring large text in, you will notice the text inside is divided into multiple lines. In this scenario, if you find the line spacing is too small or too long, Figma offers the flexibility to adjust it.
In this guide, we will help you with changing the line spacing in Figma through a demonstration to get you covered.
Change Line Spacing in Figma
- Navigate to Figma and sign in with your credentials. To get started, click on New design file or open an existing one from Recently viewed.
- After the new or existing design is loaded, click on the existing text box to select it. If there isn’t any, press T to add a new text box and enter text into it. For demonstration, we have added large text that breaks down into multiple lines.
- After modifying the text box, navigate to the Text section in the Design tab of the Properties panel and find the Line Height option to adjust the spacing.
- Now, double-tap on it, access the input field, and enter the line spacing value manually.
- If you don’t have a specific value, you can drag the cursor over the line height icon to increase or decrease the line spacing.
