WHAT THIS RESULT MEANS

Using .WEBP files in Figma

Figma can open .WEBP files directly, but editing is limited. Some original structure or file properties may not remain fully editable after import.

Recommended Method

Drag the .webp file onto the Figma canvas or use Place image/video. Figma creates a layer with the WebP as an image fill; use fill modes, cropping, rotation and nondestructive image adjustments.

Compatibility Notes

Figma Design officially supports WebP image uploads. Imported WebP files are treated as image fills, so editing is limited to image positioning, cropping, scaling and appearance adjustments rather than direct pixel-level editing. Assets larger than 4096 by 4096 pixels are automatically scaled down and some metadata may be lost. The cited documentation does not explicitly guarantee preservation of WebP alpha transparency, so transparency is marked unknown.
