Figma, the interface design tool known for its ease of use and collaboration features, is highly praised by designers. One of its standout abilities is the capability to produce vertical scrolling. This tutorial will walk you through the steps to achieve this function. Let’s begin!
Step 1: Create a Frame
The first step to create a vertical scroll in Figma is to create a frame. This frame can be any size, but it will define the visible area for the vertical scroll.
Step 2: Add Content
Next, you need to add the content that you want to scroll vertically. This content could be anything from text, to images, to shapes, and it should be taller than the frame you’ve created.
Step 3: Create a Scrolling Area
Now, you need to define the area that will be scrollable vertically. To do this, select your frame and adjust its height to match the content’s height. You can do this by selecting the frame and dragging the bottom edge.
Step 4: Set the Scrolling Behaviour
Once you’ve set the scrolling area, it’s time to set the scrolling behaviour. With your frame selected, head to the right side of the Figma interface to the properties panel. Here, you’ll see a section called ‘Overflow Behaviour’. Click on it and select ‘Vertical Scrolling’.
Step 5: Test the Scroll
Finally, it’s time to test your vertical scroll. To do this, select the “Play” button at the top right corner of Figma. This will open a new window where you can interact with your design.
Now, you should be able to scroll vertically through your content within the frame! If not, check the previous steps to ensure everything was done correctly.
And that’s it! You now know how to create a vertical scroll in Figma. It’s a simple process that can provide a lot of flexibility in your designs. Keep experimenting and happy designing!
