How to Add Hotspot to an Image in Figma

This is an Arcade

Add interactive hotspots to images in Figma by syncing frames with the Arcade plugin. Install the plugin, connect your free Arcade account, and start adding hotspots.

1. Open Your Figma File
Launch Figma and open the design where you want to add hotspots.

2. Place Your Image Inside a Frame
Insert your image with FilePlace Image. Make sure the image is inside a Figma Frame—the Arcade plugin will only sync frames, not loose images.

3. Install the Arcade Plugin
Click the Figma icon (☰) in the top-left corner, then go to PluginsManage Plugins. In the search bar, type Arcade Demo and click Install to add the plugin.

4. Launch the Arcade Plugin
Return to the Figma menu, click PluginsArcade Demo to open it.

5. Sign Up or Log In to Arcade
The plugin will prompt you to connect with an Arcade account. Signing up is free and only takes a few seconds.

6. Sync Your Frame to Arcade
With your frame selected, click Sync in the plugin to push the image into your Arcade workspace for editing.

7. Add a Hotspot in Arcade
Once your frame loads in Arcade, double-click anywhere on the image to place a hotspot. Drag to size the hotspot and add a link, tooltip, or call-to-action.

8. Preview and Share
Use Arcade’s Preview mode to test your hotspots, then copy the share link or embed code to publish your interactive image.
