Hi,

is there any way to enable resizing for Figma Widgets like you can with Regular Figma Nodes?
I would like to use the width and height of an widget for further logic inside one of my plugin.

Greets,
Gregor

That’s right, Figma/FigJam doesn’t allow you to scale widgets manually. The only way is to contact the widget developer and suggest adding a resizing feature.

I aslo came across this question, it would be great if we could allow users to resize widgets…

I too think they should be resizable or, at least, one could opt for a fixed or responsive layout 🙂

Dang, thats too bad! There are a few widgets that could improve from scaling. I’m not a developer/coder at all so this might also be a dumb question…but is it possible to build a widget…that scales widgets?

Neither plugins nor widgets can scale other widgets.
