I work for both desktop and mobile screens and I would like to save custom frame sizes and have them under a custom category. basic desktop sizes like 1366x768 is not available in the presets and the desktop category only has Mac screen devices as options.

To add to this, being able to choose a component to be a frame could also allow variants to be included, some of the devices I design for include lights that change colour depending on various things.

Or maybe have physical buttons, having the ability to make the frame part of the interaction would be great

Right now, we have the possibility to add frames from the categories:

  • Phone
  • Tablet
  • Desktop
  • Presentation
  • Watch
  • Paper
  • Social media
  • Figma Community
  • Archive

However, how nice would it be if we could create our own template? Not everyone works with those standard sizes, so why do we have to edit the screen size every time we want to add a new frame in the correct size (or duplicate existing ones)?

That’s interesting, would like to add them as “components” just to be seen on the right tree or would you also like to have a nice prototype view (with the device skeleton as we have for the existing ones)?

My organization has a series of set breakpoints we use to design for. Being able to preset these as part of our design system would be extremely helpful in saving us time having to refer to a reference list.

Also going to upvote this. I work on medical devices often with very unique screen sizes and bezels - e.g. blood glucose meters or ventilators etc.

It would be great if I could create a component and specify a frame (that I set to the correct screen dimensions) inside the component that is the screen.

Amen! Amen!! I’ve been needing this. When will we get this?

Hi community, I have a question.

Is it possible to add your own custom frame in the Frame list selection?

Going to upvote this as well. I am now working at a company and they have an Android only app. I am using the device recommended on Material design, 412x892 px and none of the devices fit this measure, I cannot have page scrolling because I have no boundaries for the scroll. What would be the best course of action for me? Thanks

Do we have any news about this feature? Is this being considered or in development by the team already?

It seems like this could be a very simple new feature, that could start with just a new category ‘Custom’, where the user can create and name their own frame sizes, not modifying the presets; It could grow from there.

I think of this as a priority as many suggested sizes are deprecated. ‘Dribbble Shot HD’ under social give us an 800x600 frame, when a simple google search suggests using 2800x2100. I don’t think the dev team should embrace the continuous responsibility to update those values… every year we get new devices with new screen sizes, resolutions, and ratios… not to mention the ones based in social media apps - like dribbble - that could change their standarts multiple times a year.
