I’m trying to create the text effect in this image. The odometer’s text wraps around the circle very nicely.
Right now I have to use a plugin, but I lose the ability to edit the text afterwards and there is no preview so I have to try a few times to get the text to wrap nicely.
Sketch had a feature where if you dragged a text on top of a path it would snap to it and would follow the path. A similar feature (perhaps with a better implementation) would be very welcome on Figma.

Please add this feature!
If there is an option called type on path like photoshop, illustrator. It will be easy for the user to curve their text in Figma itself without using plugin. Like an arc, circle, rectangle any path shaped text.
It’s a must-have. Come on!
Here seeing if this feature is available too. Please add!
There’s only a few features keeping me hanging on to Adobe CC sub and this is one of them.
Hey All, thanks for your continued votes and feedback!
The team confirmed that this is on the roadmap. We can’t provide an exact timeline, but we appreciate your patience - stay tuned!
Commenting to say I find myself searching “Figma text on path” at least once a month just to double-check that it’s still not a thing. Happy to see it’s in the works and looking forward to it being implemented!
plz
Really need this!!
Adding one more vote to this. It's been 3 years since the first suggestion. My suggestion: do an MVP of this feature ASAP, either text on a path or on a circle, whatever is easier to implement. We can live with just one until the feature is fully implemented for both, but it's really hard to not have either option natively…
By the way, I'm seeing two different features conflated into one: text being contained inside a non-rectangular shape, and text around a shape (or following an open path/curve). Those are different features. Right now I care more about text following along a path.
A must-have!!
Not having that makes designing anything almost impossible if you need curved text. All the existing plugins do a terrible job at replacing a feature that is needed.
Adding a vote here as this is table stakes in illustrator, inkspace, photoshop, gimp and others. Please add the feature!
I came here first to realise this still isn’t an option then wasted a bunch of time discovering not a single of the text to path plugins actually work - I’d guess only around 20% of plugins actually do - to finally end up using an alternative app and doing what I needed in 5 minutes. I *really* hate Figma at times.
Hey, folks! Heads-up that it’s now possible to place text along a path.
All you have to do is create a path and then select the Text tool and place your mouse over the path. You’ll immediately see the cursor change, indicating the new placement.
