Carousels are great visual elements used to display images, text, or even custom HTML elements like a video. They can be used to rotate content on a website or app, and they’re easy to set up in Figma.
In this article, we’ll discuss how you can make a carousel scroll in Figma.
Step 1: Create a new Frame in Figma.
The first step is to create a new Frame in Figma that will contain your carousel. To do this, simply click the “+” icon at the bottom of the left-hand sidebar and select “New Frame”. From here you’ll be able to adjust the size of your frame and its position on the canvas.
Step 2: Add Images or Text Content to Your Frame.
Now that you have your frame created, you’ll need to add content to it that will be scrolled through. This can be done by either adding images or text boxes directly into the frame or by using components for more complex content like videos.
Step 3: Create a Group for Your Carousel Content.
Once you have your content added to your frame, you’ll need to group it together so it’s easier to manage when making adjustments later on. To do this, simply select all of the items in your frame and then click “Group” from the top menu bar. This will create a group containing all of your items which can then be moved around as one unit.
Step 4: Add Scrolling Interactions.
The final step is to add interactions that will allow your carousel content to scroll when it’s interacted with. To do this, click on the group containing all of your carousel items and then select “Interactions” from the right-hand sidebar. Here you can choose “Scroll” as an interaction type and then adjust its settings as needed.
