Figma: Changing Groups to Frames
Feb 12, 2021
Recently, I found a short-cut to changing groups to frames in Figma. Before I go any further, I should first differentiate between a group and a frame (click either group or frame to learn more)
Group: a way of categorizing everything within a layer, groups take on combined dimensions of their children
Frame: can function as a variety of things (masks, artboards, groups, stacks, etc.). The size of the frame is set by the designer.
So you want to quickly change a group to a frame or vice versa…
- Select the Frame or Group you wish to change
2. Move your cursor to the top right, to change the group to a frame
3. Make your selection (in this case I chose frame).
Voila! Group to Frame in 3 easy steps.
