Add pinch to zoom in and out interactions in prototypes

Often when prototyping tools/UIs with canvases, a few fundamental interactions are needed.

  1. Scroll up/down
  2. Scroll left/right
  3. Zoom in/out

Unfortunately, that last zoom in/out one isn’t possible in Figma as far as I can tell. It would be really great to incorporate this type of interaction in the same place that frame scrolling can be specified.

Prototyping use cases:

  1. UIs with Maps (tracking apps, location apps, travel apps, delivery apps, etc)
  2. UIs with creative canvases (illustrator, photoshop, Figma, sketch, etc)
  3. UIs for analysis tools (spatial biology analysis, general sample analysis, etc)
  4. UIs for brainstorming tools (Figjam, Miro, google whiteboard, etc)

This feels like it would be relatively basic to add but what do I know about programing lol. Anyways, would be really awesome and add a new dimension of interactivity to canvas based tools.

Zoom needed here too!
I design a feature with a PDF reader UI. In order to have the full UX, I need the user to zoom in and out the slides of the PDF

I went looking for this functionality in Figma today actually, and found this thread instead. Pinch to zoom would be a fantastic enhancement — please add ASAP.

@Figma_Moderation Is this getting any visibility? There is clearly interest here but we haven’t heard a thing and this has been up for over a year now…

Hi Figma, you’re undoubtedly the most amazing design tech in the industry. But it would leverage your game even further if you could add the pinch zoom-in and zoom-out interaction in your software. It would make testing prototypes with maps much easier.
