UI zoom, not canvas zoom

View > Interface scale > make larger would work.

Hi Angie. Unfortunately, that doesn’t solve the issue. Doing as you suggest also zooms in the canvas, so at 100% zoom, you’re not actually viewing your frames at 100%, thus forcing designs to be outside of the pixel grid. This is really noticeable on non-retina screens.

Me toooo it’s so inconvenient. I was so happy about UI zoom for my bad eyes, but not being able to see the design at the correct size makes zero sense.

+1 Yes this is very important addition to have. It ‘s very annoying if you have a larger monitor with e.g. 200% OS scaling where you want to still have the canvas match closely what the “end product” will look like, but want the user interface to remain usable size. Now if if you scale the interface too much the canvas becomes way too large and hard to work on.

This is incorrect.

Interface scaling upsizes the Figma UI AND the Canvas. The request is to upsize the Figma UI only.

For example:

If I set my interface scale to 130%, my canvas is also at 130%. So if I’m working on a screen that is 1512px wide, it appears to me as 1965.6px wide. This makes working on a design extremely difficult as it’s hard to discern the real from the perceived.

This is an unfortunate implementation of this feature and fails to be pro-accessibility or pro-power-user; I would consider myself the latter, since I don’t have difficulty reading but I like my UI scale to be larger because the click targets are larger (see Fitts Law).
