When using auto layout some of the images/modules can be located at an odd X or Y orientation such as 102.03. When this is the case the image exports as an odd number, it appears to be 150px tall in Figma but on export becomes 150.5px. The position of an element should NOT affect the size of an image on export. This is causing major issues for our team and having to manually edit each image or drag each image out of layout to save out.

Hi ​@Lara Goldsmith, thanks for reaching out! 

This is a known issue and feature limitation. Ideally, you always want to ensure your designs are placed on whole pixels (meaning they are aligned with the pixel grid and don't have fractional values in their position). 

To help with this, you can also Enable Snap to Pixel Grid:

  1. Open your Figma Design file
  2. Locate the Zoom Settings dropdown menu at the top right of the interface (near the zoom percentage)
  3. Click on the arrow next to the percentage
  4. Select Snap to Pixel Grid. You can also use the shortcut Shift + Control + ' (apostrophe) on Windows or Shift + Command + ' (apostrophe) on Mac.

While I understand that this isn’t the best temporary solution, please know that our team is aware of this behavior and are considering how it continues to affect the overall community.
