It's surprising to see that a request made 6 years ago for gradient feature in Adobe XD still hasn't been fulfilled. While there may be other more pressing features to work on, gradient is a fundamental aspect of design and it's surprising that it hasn't been included yet. It's a reflection of how slow and disorganized things can be at Adobe at times.

This is critical to me at this point. I'm working on my 3rd project now where the client has requested, or the design required gradients in text. The workaround, where we have to ctrl+8 to outline the text, to apply a gradient is such a hassle. It has to be redone every time text changes.

if we can do this w/ css on the web, a UI pgm should have a easy way for this to happen w/o having to turn text into an outlined compound path.

crazy to me this isn't an option.

please add this feature ASAP, or users will shifted in Figma

@Lpf Boyka, that's a great little workaround until it's baked into the system. Thanks for sharing that.

Yes, please add this... you can count this as 1000+ upvotes

err i just put box with the size of the text and put linear gradient to the box... then i put the text on top of the box without fill color... then i just intersect both (ctrl +alt + I)... why u guys dont use it like that?

to be able to have the ability to add multiple strokes, gradients, and drop shadows to live text.

I have to convert text to outlines in order to achieve some of the styles I need and it becomes tiresome if text needs to be edited I need to redo all the styles

Please implement this—Thank you!

Please implement as soon as possible!

We need this feature, as converting text to a path is no good option: text cannot be edited.

How can you add a gradient to a text with out converting it to a path

I know you can do it in Figma thooo. LoL just checking how this thread went

Remove text gradient only for path.

1. Its diffcult for beginners to understand about changing the text gradient.
2. Its impossible to change the font or size if we convert a text into path.. When we design its not handy because sometimes we need to change their font or size matches to the design.

should work without converting text to path !

IN WINDOWS 10 JUST TYPE WHAT U WANT THEN RIGHT CLICK ON TEXT AND SELECT PATCH AND CONVERT TO PATCH :)

this is very important for us!! please make it possible to apply gradients on Text + Borders etc.

A work around for this is to put a gradient on a shape and set it to the size of the text then position it above the text set the text colour to white on a dark background or black on a light background then set the blend mode to darken or lighten on the shape and the gradient should apply like a clipping mask on Photoshop

the text dose look sharp however if you need a work around its there

If I use the pathfinder to do a gradient from left to right, XD makes me a gradient from bottom to top. This is a bug, but Adobe do not allow to add bugs any more …
