When I write create long paragraphs with text tool on the Figma I get the unnecessary spaces on edges of the paragraph like below.
But I think if there a hyphenation feature (like Adobe Photoshop) it could add dashes automatically on the texts and fix this issue.
So, what do you think about this feature feedback?
FIGMA could actually become a real contender vs InDesign with these sort of changes. Certainly the ability create layouts, move objects, create moodboards is unparalleled with FIGMA.
Yes please <3 One of the organisations I collaborate it uses Figma already for making e-books, but those justified paragraphs with gaps as huge as Grand Canyon don’t look very good. Looked into options how to make a plugin workaround, but here it wouldn’t help much; even if we got some node hyphenation package to work, it would probably only be able to add silent hyphens or actual hyphens statically, but those wouldn’t update on any change in text or its bounding box.
What would really help at least before a full option to hyphenate text, if Figma could render silent hyphens. They do break words now, but it’s useless without the actual hyphen.

Yes! Support soft hyphens!
we need it, now that the adobe team has taken over it will surely arrive immediately… right? XD (bad choice of emoji sorry)
Up! Needed 🙂
Hi there,
Thank you all for providing feedback! I will share this with our internal team. Your input is highly valued, and we will take it into consideration for future enhancements.
Thanks,
Toku
this would be such a good update!!!
Please !
I would really appreciate this feature!
Yes, please let us hyphenate.
PLEASE! why hasn’t this been added yet? Type looks so crappy in Figma without this simple functions.
Currently, Figma users cannot select an option to hyphenate paragraphs (which would be especially useful when using justified type layout). It otherwise leaves large spaces in between words.
It shouldn’t be a complicated feature build and would certainly help make Figma more layout-friendly.
Here is a workaround I found, I think you guys already know it but have not tried https://youtu.be/hbrA4VjQM0o
Any chance of adding support for css-like hyphens: auto for text wrapping?
Maybe instead of adding AI stuff that no one wants or needs, basic features like this would be more valuable for users?
Seriously, why has this feature not been added yet?
So many great new features rolling in all the time… why is hyphenation such a big deal. People at Figma, especially languages like German that are notorious for long words, simply fall apart without hyphens.
Please push this a little further. Hyphens should have been there from day one…
Sério, por que esse recurso ainda não foi adicionado? Tantos novos recursos excelentes surgindo o tempo todo... por que a hifenização é um negócio tão grande? O pessoal da Figma, especialmente idiomas como o alemão, que são famosos por palavras longas, simplesmente desmoronam sem hifens. Por favor, vá um pouco mais longe. Os hifens deveriam estar lá desde o primeiro dia...
