Custom zoom level

This is not possible but you may be able to find some plugins that let you return to specific saved views.

I have a related wish, to reduce or adjust the zoom increments, because the zoom jumps from 50% to 100% when all I need is just a small increment, like ±5% or so.

Zoom increments are simply too huge which forces me to write by hand the zoom value instead of using the keyboard shortcut.

Add a setting within the preferences to configure the zoom increment. Currently, the zoom increment doubles it’s previous value (e.g., 25%, 50%, 100%, 200%, etc) which is too large of a jump at times. I want to decrease the increment value to something more subtle.

The same idea was mentioned here: https://twitter.com/figma/status/1533878066795143175

This would help a lot!

3rd this. This is a significant inconvenience when designing for web development on a laptop. This is because one requires ~75% screen zoom to view the full width of the design to account for toolbars. Meanwhile, the defaults are 50-100%.

Two years later and this feature is still not added to Figma. We need to be able to adjust the increments between zoom level! I am constantly having to type in 80% because 50% and 100% are just two extremes that are not catered to most of the preset artboard/frame pixel ratios.

The only solution I found is this:

On an Apple Magic Mouse:

• Hold down ⌘ Command (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) and scroll up and down
• Double-tap with one finger to zoom in and back out

On another type of mouse:

• Hold down ⌘ Command (Mac) or Ctrl (Windows) and scroll the mouse wheel up to zoom in or down to zoom out.

Thanks for sharing this workaround, @Maya_Voss2!

For the love of Zeus, give us custom zoom settings. 50, 100, 200 is a ridiculous order. 50, 75, 100, 150 is reasonable.

This is a must have feature. All productive work depends a lot off 2 or 3 levels of zoom. Having at least two custom ones is essential.

MAYBE SOLUTION:

SHIFT+Z is the same as just Z. So, why not allow to customize SHIFT+Z to a prefered percentage? Or even Z if window zoom is generally less used.

And, since it’s so used and constantly changed, SHIFT+ALT+Z could pop up a window to define the new custom zoom level.

Lets hope it gets to Figma soon.

Thanks

(&thanks @dvaliao for reinforcing this one)

This is the best way to solve this kind of problem.
