In a previous tutorial, we showed you how to retrieve the HTML code from any SVG file. Today, we'll present another way to do it (faster) directly in Figma with just two clicks.

Step 1: Import Your SVG into Figma

The first step in this tutorial is to insert your SVG file into Figma or create a vector using the design tool.

Step 2: Select Your SVG

After importing it, you will select your file in Figma by clicking on it.

Step 3: Copy as SVG

Once selected, right-click, hover over "Copy/Paste as", and then click on "Copy as SVG". This action will allow you, when you paste (cmd or ctrl + V) into a text editor, to obtain the HTML code for your vector image.
