In Figma, stretching images is a great way to quickly adjust the size of an image or graphic with ease. It is especially useful when creating web designs or mobile app designs where different resolutions might be needed for different devices.
By stretching an image, you can easily adjust the size of the image without having to manually resize it.
To stretch an image in Figma, first select the image by clicking on it. You will then see a series of handles around the edges of the image.
These handles can be used to stretch the image in any direction.
If you want to stretch the image horizontally, click and drag one of the two middle horizontal handles outward or inward. If you want to stretch the image vertically, click and drag one of the two middle vertical handles outward or inward.
Alternatively, if you want to keep the aspect ratio (width-height proportion) of your image intact while stretching it, hold down Shift on your keyboard and click and drag any corner handle outward or inward until your desired new size is reached.
You can also use Figma’s ‘Stroke’ tool to quickly resize your images by entering exact dimensions for width and height into each field in pixels or inches. This is especially useful if you need your images or graphics to be a specific size for a particular device.
Stretching images in Figma is a quick and easy way to adjust their dimensions without needing any additional software.
All that needs to be done is selecting an image and dragging its handles until it reaches its desired size.
Conclusion:
Stretching images in Figma is an easy task that anyone can do with just a few clicks. All that needs to be done is selecting an image, then dragging its handles either individually or while holding down Shift until it reaches its desired size.
