Figma frames vs. Sketch artboards
Figma frames and Sketch artboards both house design content, but they have distinct functionalities. Figma frames are versatile containers, like div tags in web design, allowing for nesting and offering default constraints. This means you can tuck a frame within another, creating complex, organized structures effortlessly.
Unlike Sketch artboards, Figma frames come with added perks. They can have their own background fill, support multiple layout grids, and offer the choice to clip content, ensuring neat, bounded designs or free-flowing layouts. Figma also provides handy frame size presets, catering to various devices and platforms, accessible in the Design panel.
