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.

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.

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

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 :slight_smile:

I agree. This definitely needs to be an option.

For a design tool, unable to resize is just embarrasing! You want design? but can’t resize? what kind of design can be done without properly sizing?? lol
