When I export graphics from a Figjam, I don't want all that extra padding around my image

I use FigJam to create diagrams or to ine up variations of my designs for stakeholder review. When I export>selection, I want only my image, usually to drop into a slide deck or doc. But FigJam adds big swaths of blank space around my images. So every time I export I have to use a separate graphics tool to crop out the blank space. Is there a way to set the padding? (I tried making grouping my selection into a Section, but that didn’t change the export properties.)

Figma people, please let us set the level of padding in FigJam exports. If you can’t do that, please just set the padding to 0 or 1 px. If I need to frame the image, I’ll add the padding myself. (Having you add the frame is pointless because I’m always going to want to control the width anyway.)

Hey @Joe_Matazzoni, sorry for the delayed reply!

Right now, this is expected behavior for exported selections in FigJam. All selection types will have a default border applied, and depending on the type, your export will have either a solid, transparent, or grid background.

That said, as a temporary workaround, you can also copy + paste your FigJam selection into Figma and export from there without the padding.
