Automatically resize pasted mobile screenshots to proper device pt/dp size

I often need to paste screenshots into Figma from mobile devices of various sizes. We work at the pt/dp scale, so it would be awesome if there was a setting someplace where you could have Figma try to determine the proper pt/dp size of the device/display from which the screenshot came and then automatically resize it to match that.

Example: I drop in a screenshot from an iPhone 16 Pro onto the canvas. As of posting this, Figma sizes the screenshot to 603x1311, but based on the original dimensions of the image, it should be able to determine (or do a best guess) of which device it’s from, and then resize it to the proper pt values of 402x874. Half of this info is already stored in Figma’s roster of frame sizes (i.e. when creating a new frame, you get a ton of device choices with the proper pt sizes), so I have to imagine this is possible to pull off. Obviously not with 100% accuracy...but currently my workflow requires me to resize these screenshots 100% of the time!

 

If someone knows of a plugin or something I’m missing that removes this extra step, do let me know!
