How to Add Bullet Points in Figma

Updated on:

Use this interactive demo to learn how to create bulleted lists in your Figma design canvas.

Quick summary

Figma supports bulleted lists through the Type Settings panel, allowing designers to apply list styles directly to any text layer without leaving the canvas. This four-step process converts plain text into a formatted bulleted list using Figma's built-in Typography controls.


Steps

  1. Inside your Figma design canvas, find and select the text layer you wish to convert into a bulleted list.
  2. Go to the right-side panel and click the Type Settings icon under the Typography section.
  3. Locate List Style and select Bulleted List from the provided options next to it.
  4. The selected text layer will be instantly transformed into a bulleted list.

📌 Why this matters

Figma does not expose bullet point formatting through its main toolbar, making it a commonly missed feature for designers working with structured content. Knowing how to access the Type Settings panel to apply a bulleted list style saves time and eliminates the need for manual workarounds like custom symbols or separate text layers. This capability is essential for UI designers, design system managers, and content-heavy layout projects where consistent text formatting directly inside Figma improves handoff accuracy and reduces design debt.
