You can learn how masks work in Figma in this video:


hey there! i should have mentioned i’ve already seen this tutorial and i still don’t understand! i’m trying to put an image in and existing rectangle with borders. can i screenshare with someone?


You need to duplicate the rectangle: use one as mask, another one to display borders.


Yeah I’ll admit that masks can be a little confusing in Figma. I typically do what Gleb mentioned though by first duplicating and then using the top layer as the mask. 🙂
