How Can I Resize My Figma Without Cropping?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:47 am

Have you ever had the frustrating experience of trying to resize an image in Figma, only to have it get cropped? Or, worse yet, have you accidentally resized an image and lost part of the original?

There are a few ways to resize an image in Figma without cropping it. The first is to use the “Freeform” resize option.

With this option selected, you can drag any of the four corners of the image independently from each other. This allows you to change the width, height, or both without affecting the other dimension.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to resize your Figma without cropping, be warned that this may result in some distortion of your image. Additionally, make sure that you have a backup of your original image in case you need to revert back to it.

Another way to resize an image without cropping is to use the “Constrain Proportions” option. This option will keep the width and height of the image in proportion as you change one of them. So, if you make the width smaller, the height will automatically adjust to keep the same proportions.

You can also hold down the shift key while resizing an image. This will keep the aspect ratio locked, so that resizing one dimension won’t affect the other.

Finally, if you need to crop an image (for example, to remove a portion of the background), you can use Figma’s “Crop” tool. This tool allows you to select an area of the image and then crop it out.

So there you have it! A few ways to resize or crop an image in Figma without losing any part of it.
