How Do You Crop a Component in Figma?

Last updated on May 11, 2023 @ 9:12 am

When you’re working on a design in Figma, there are times when you need to crop a component. Maybe you want to show only part of an image, or you need to make a custom shape from an existing one.

Whatever the reason, Figma makes it easy to crop components. Here’s how:

First, select the component that you want to crop.

Then, open the Fill options and select the “Crop” option from the drop-down menu. This will bring up the cropping tool on your component.

Next, use the cropping tool to select the area that you want to keep. You can do this by clicking and dragging on the crop handles around the component.

Once you’re happy with your selection, just press “Enter” on your keyboard to apply your changes.

PRO TIP: If you are not familiar with Figma, we recommend that you seek help from someone who is before attempting to crop a component. Incorrectly cropping a component can result in lost work and/or damage to your file.

And that’s all there is to it! Cropping components in Figma is quick and easy, and it can be a great way to create custom shapes and sizes for your designs.
