How to add stickers to FigJam

Fig jam - great food, sweet whiteboard tool. Allow yourself and your team to have boards that are more personal and fun by adding your own stickers.

Adding custom stickers to FigJam is easy but not quite as straightforward as simply uploading the files to the jam. Shortly, you have to publish each sticker as a component to a library that is shared with your team. I know that can be confusing, so here is a step-by-step guide:

Note: You can only publish components to your library in Figma if you are on Education, Professional, or Organization plan.

1. Create a Figma file and add it to your team project

To be able to use your stickers in FigJam, you first have to add them to a Figma file, and this file needs to be shared with your team.

By default, a new Figma file is living in Drafts. You can add it to the team by clicking the arrow next to the file’s name in the top toolbar and choosing Add to project. There, you can select the team and project you’d like to add it to.

2. Create components

Then, you have to create components from each of the stickers. To create them in bulk, simply mark up all the layers, click on the arrow next to the component icon in the top toolbar, and choose Create multiple components.
