How Do You Use Figma Beta?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 12:48 am

If you’re a designer, there’s a good chance you’ve heard of Figma. It’s a vector design and prototyping tool that’s gained popularity in recent years for its user-friendly interface and collaborative features. And as of late, the software has been expanding its feature set to include things like animation and micro-interactions.

If you’re not familiar with Figma, here’s a quick overview: Figma is a cloud-based design tool that allows multiple designers to work on the same file at the same time. It also has version control built in, so you can see how your designs have changed over time. And because it’s cloud-based, you can access your files from anywhere.

Figma also has a beta version that allows users to test out new features before they’re released to the public. To access the beta version, simply sign up for a free account on Figma’s website. Once you’ve done that, you’ll be able to use all of the features that are currently in beta.

PRO TIP: Figma Beta is currently in a beta phase and may not be suitable for all users. Use at your own risk.

So what are some of the new features in Figma beta? Here are just a few:

  • Auto Layout: This is a feature that allows you to create responsive designs more easily. With Auto Layout, you can set constraints on objects so that they resize automatically when the window is resized.
  • Improved Export: The export feature in Figma has been redesigned to make it easier to use.

    Now, when you export an image, you can choose whether to export it at 1x, 2x, or 3x resolution. You can also specify which assets should be exported as PNGs and which should be exported as JPGs.

  • New Text Styles: The beta version of Figma includes three new text styles: Heading 1, Heading 2, and Body Text. These styles can be applied to any text object in your design.

These are just a few of the new features in Figma beta. To learn more about what’s new, check out the Figma blog. And if you’re not already using Figma, now is a great time to give it a try.
