Would be great to use Slides also to create materials and export as PDFs in different sizes. For example A4 in portrait and landscape.

And in export-mode also be able to choose which frames/slides to export to a PDF (couldn’t see that option atm).

Slides are gonna be great!!

Yer, it is 1920 * 1080, which is half my monitor screen.

There seems to be a slight hack. If you go into Design Mode. Select the frame and you’ll see the layout is greyed out where you can see the dimensions 1920 * 1080. However, if you hold the option key and drag right you can make it wider. Although it’s clearly not design to do this as the formatting looks weird and is muted.

Hello,

We make presentations on various screen size.
Dimensions are very important and the default 1920x1080 is quite limiting.

Secondly by default we can’t change those dimensions like we do in a Figma design frame.
I first have to create a frame inside the layout and then resize my slide (or use the sliders, which is not really precise or practical).

Once i’ve done this, overflowing elements are dimmed and the presentation never really fits the artboard size that i want.
I also see the main artboard in the back with those disturbing rounded corners

I want to use slides in an immersive / interactive room and need to set a costum size for the screen - is this possiable?

Guys, I finally found a workaround for this:

• Create a clean slide with nothing inside
• Create only a pure rectangle with the ratio of your screen presentation
• Position x=0 and y=0
• Scale to width 1920 (keeping the height linked in proportion)
• Hit the resize to fit button on the right side (right after the Layout label)
• Press play in the presentation
• Voilá

/ The slide thumbs will be deformed and broken. Also, the canvas in design/slide mode will not change, making a part of your layout bleed out of the frame.

But in presentation mode, it will work perfectly. 👹

Please allow slide canvas to be set in whatever dimensions needed. 1920x1080 is incredibly limiting!

It’s crazy that this slide canvas resize feature is not even included in the initial version, this is a low-key must have feature! I really want to use this slides but I can’t right now. Please add this!

I’m perplex about seeing that feature anytime soon, since Figma is promoting the ability to change a template layout with another in an instant (if i got it right).

What i don’t understand :

• I don’t think people using ppt, keynote… is not the primary target here, so…
• …If the aim is to target designers who, i hope, know what they’re doing and are the people doing the presentations in a lot of agencies for themselves or creating a template for a client.
  Well, setting a canvas size by default, is already huge design choice.
  No control over it, is not only a frustration, but also a very limiting factor for adoption.

I would love to make presentations in Figma then pass it to my clients so they can use it as a template without a huge monthly fee.

The reasons why I make my presentations in Figma are that I have this freedom like nowhere else. Free canvas size, multiple Grids, easy text styles, reusable components, transitions, variables, responsive design, everything is already there.

The only really painstaking task is to keep all the navigation elements in check, be sure to have arrow keys going back and forward. Then when we add a page, we have to move everything around.

My team often makes portrait presentations that are more suited to viewing on a phone. Would be great to have custom sizing to enable this.

Would it be possible to do 4:3 slides? I have the feeling that 4:3 is the perfect format for desktop but also portrait mobile uses. 16:9 gets very small.

Please add the function to customise the size of the Slides. For example the ability to make portrait PDFs with Figma Slides, instead of the current limitation of 1920 x 1080

+1 would be great to resize slides

My 2 cents for the slides resizing 👋

I’m making tutorials with Slides, and the primary audience/use of these tutorials is on mobile. vertical or, better yet, custom ratios would be of great interest!

Agreed, this would be super useful for making mobile-based brochures etc.

Yes, i would also like this. I need to make some images for publishing a Chrome Extension to the Chrome Web Store. They need 1280x800 images. The default/unchangeable aspect ratio that Figma offers is not the same proportions as 1280x800.

Hi Figma Team. Any updates on this? Would love to set the Figma Slides page size to say 2560 x 1440. Please help.

Super useful to have this feature. Same as how you can select frame size in Figma, in slide it’s necessary too. There’re many circumstances where the presentation is not always in the current size that is set. Please enable this. Thanks

I confirm that would be helpful to resize as we see fit.
Among others, the square format is more and more used in web embed presentations - Linkedin uses it in carousels for example.

Just came here hoping to find an answer — would also +1 this

Hi +1 from my side too. We have square and a4 presentations that we could move to slides.

🤚🏼 Another vote for custom slide sizes!
