So, without further ado, let’s get started.
How to blur a text layer
To apply a Blur effect to a text layer, follow these steps:
- First, select or create a new text layer.
Here’s the text I made to demonstrate how blur effects work in Figma over a text layer.
- Go to the Effects section in the right-hand sidebar and hit the + icon to add a new Effect.
Drop shadow is the effect that will be made by default, but don’t worry—you are on the right track to make a blur effect.
- Select the Drop shadow effect to open the Effects menu and select Layer blur.
- To adjust the settings for layer blur, open the effect’s setting modal by clicking the effect icon, and then enter the value for your blur intensity.
I’ll add a value of 20 to our example. The blur effect on the text layer becomes more intense as the value is increased.
