You can convert any text layer into a vector path. Once converted, you can use vector edit mode to modify the layer's path. This is useful for: 

• Customize aspects of a typeface
• Creating logos or wordmarks
• Preparing assets for printing
• Reducing file or export size
• Combining multiple paths into a single object

There are two ways to turn a text layer into a vector path: flattening the layer or outlining the layer's stroke. Both methods are destructive actions, meaning you'll no longer be able to edit the text contents or any typography properties associated with it. If you convert a text layer by mistake, you can use the file's version history to restore a previous version or use the undo shortcut:

• Mac: Command Z
• Windows: Control Z

Flatten a text layer

When you flatten text layers, Figma will:

• Combine any objects or layers you selected into a single layer
• Convert text layers from editable text to vector paths

To flatten a text layer:

1. 1. Select the text layer you want to flatten.
   2. Right-click on the selection and select Flatten or use the keyboard shortcut:
      • Mac: Option Shift F
      • Windows: Alt Shift F

      Once flattened, the layers will be combined into a single vector layer. Select the layer and press Enter to open vector edit mode. 

Outline a layer's stroke

When you use outline stroke, Figma will:

• Convert text layers from editable text to vector paths
• Not combine any objects or layers you selected into a single layer

To apply outline stroke:

1. Select the layer in the canvas.
2. Right-click on the layer and select Outline stroke or use the keyboard shortcut:
   • Mac: Command Option O
   • Windows: Control Alt O

When Outline stroke is applied, each glyph is converted to its own vector layer, so you can edit each layer individually in vector edit mode.
