Alignment Options in Image Fills

As I was looking for a way to do this natively in Figma, I came across this concept article on Medium. In the article, Андрей Насонов (Andrey Nasonov) describes adding the option to choose alignment in the image settings beyond the default centered. This would be a simple but huge improvement to image settings, especially for responsive design.

Here’s his example of how that might look on the Properties Panel for images:

If anyone has found any way to work around this other than individually cropping images for different container widths, pls hmu! 🙏

please make it happen its a must and a common use with CSS for years, Figma must have this, it is almost ridiculous not having this when designing a website nowadays

The new Figma updates are in but sadly, there’s still no image fill alignment options, even though they’ve added alignment in the new Pattern fill option. Sad :(

How can you ask me to edit images when it doesn’t even have such a basic feature? Please, do your job.

Is this going to be another year without this essential feature?

4 years, 4 months, and 26 days since someone post this very needed feature and no updates…
should we gear up to celebrate 5 years of this not being implemented?
Are the engineers super busy implementing more AI features, so real human designer required tools are left at the end of the queue?
