Can I Crop an Image in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 9:23 pm

Figma is a great tool for managing design workflows and collaborating with teams. One of the things that makes Figma so powerful is its ability to crop images. This feature can be extremely useful when working with raster images, as it allows you to quickly adjust the size and aspect ratio of an image without having to open it in another program.

There are a few different ways to crop an image in Figma. The first is to use the Crop tool, which can be found in the Tools panel.

To use this tool, simply select the image you want to crop and then click and drag the Crop tool around the portion of the image you want to keep. You can also use the Crop tool to resize an image by clicking and dragging one of the handles on the sides or corners of the selection.

The second way to crop an image in Figma is to use the Frame tool. The Frame tool can be found in the same location as the Crop tool, in the Tools panel.

PRO TIP: If you are planning on cropping an image in Figma, be aware that this can lead to some unwanted side effects. For example, if the image is not properly cropped, it may appear blurry or pixelated. Additionally, if you crop an image in Figma, you will not be able to undo this action.

To use this method, select the image you want to crop and then click and drag one of the handles on the sides or corners of the selection. As you drag, you’ll see a preview of how your cropped image will look. When you’re happy with the selection, simply release the mouse button to crop your image.

Both of these methods are quick and easy ways to crop an image in Figma. However, there are a few things to keep in mind when using either method.

First, remember that both methods will permanently crop your image; if you need to make changes later, you’ll need to undo yourcrop or start over with a new image file. Second, both methods will only work with raster images; if you try to crop a vector image, nothing will happen.

So, can you crop an image in Figma? Yes!

Using either the Crop tool or the Frame tool, you can quickly and easily crop raster images in Figma. Just keep in mind that both methods will permanently crop your image, so make sure you’re happy with your selection before cropping.
