I face it daily. Working across multiple sizes i have to resort to crop…which then manipulates the image and allows for incorrect scaling which may be missed in dev>production. Seems so simple…would love someone explain why this is not a priority?

Sorry, but this has to be revived. This need appears again and again and again. It is incredible how Figma has such complex features and this basic one is forgotten.


I can’t believe this hasn’t been resolved yet. I have a component which could be eight variants but because this simple solution hasn’t been looked at, I have to have 50 variants to manually manage the width. 🥵

This feature is a must for creating powerful and responsive design systems. I’m continuously baffled that Figma users have to wait for something so integral to our work, especially considering that imagery is a good portion of our design.

The following hacks/plugins from the community are at least a great workaround for responsive image ratios that work well with fill+fit style imagery. The ability to set image crops that do not warp your images when swapping image ratios would be next level.

3 years and still no movement or official response. Time to move to penpot everyone…no ones home at Figma

Just as I thought. Figma is turning into Adobe - prepares fancy features, abandoning basic functions.

I will raise you one: we should be able to use Images as Component Variants. We are often designing complex marketing sites. The way we manage it now is a time consuming workaround. We have to create shapes, manage the fills and the fill styles, and then make them Component Variants. We should just be able to add our Image Library and allow swaps the same way we do with Components.

Wating for this a long time

Would love to see this functionality, too!

Just started using Figma coming from Illustrator. It’s absolutely shocking that this isn’t possible in a modern digital design tool in 2024.

Really need this. I wish instead of useless UI updates Figma would listen to its users and actual problems we need to solve every day.

I would argue that we need vertical and horizontal percentage instead of top/center/right etc for more control.

This needs to happen, especially with responsive prototyping happening. Screen sizes change and background-position has been around since the Internet Explorer days.

+1. This feature may seem insignificant, but it would be a huge help. Please don’t dismiss it

This is pretty vital for supporting responsive design.
