Hi all - 

I have tried to trouble-shoot this issue but I cannot, for the life of me, get Figma to do what I want. 

 

I have a very simple image variant that has a desktop and mobile version. The height of the image is the same in desktop and mobile. When the image scales down from desktop to mobile, the left and right edges should contract but the whole image should not scale down. 

See image explanation below. I’m also sharing the settings I have for the main component. Are there any fixes for this?

Heeeeelp!

This should automatically work by default when you have an image set as the fill for a frame. Make sure the mode is set to Fill instead of Crop or otherwise.
