How Do You Do Breakpoints in Figma?

Breakpoints are critical for responsive design and now Figma makes it even easier to add them. Figma allows you to quickly create breakpoints and customize their behavior. This helps make creating designs for different device sizes much more efficient.

When creating a design in Figma, there are two ways to set breakpoints: manually or automatically. If you prefer to manually create your breakpoints, all you need to do is select the artboard size and then click the “Breakpoints” button in the toolbar. This will open a dialog box where you can specify how many breakpoints you want, their exact widths, and whether they should be applied as fixed or scalable.

If you would like to have Figma automatically set your breakpoints, there is an “Auto Layout” feature that can be used. To use this feature, simply click on the “Auto Layout” button in the toolbar and then choose whether you would like Figma to create breakpoints for mobile, tablet, and desktop devices. You can also specify specific widths for each of these device types.

Once your breakpoints have been created in Figma, they can be customized further by adjusting their behavior. This includes changing how elements respond when the viewport size changes, setting up conditions so certain elements are only shown at certain sizes, and more. All of these options can be accessed by clicking on the “Breakpoint Options” button located at the top right corner of each artboard.

Conclusion:

Figma provides a simple way to quickly create both manual and automated breakpoints for responsive design projects. With its Breakpoint Options feature, users can customize how elements behave when the viewport size changes as well as set up conditions so certain elements are only shown at certain sizes.
