What are frames
Frames in Figma are like versatile containers, organizing your designs neatly on the canvas. Whether you're crafting for specific devices or screen sizes, frames act as your design's backbone, similar to artboards in other tools, but with a twist.
What sets frames apart is their nesting capability. You can tuck frames within frames, layering your design elements precisely. This feature is a game-changer for complex projects where components interact or overlap, ensuring everything aligns perfectly.
Beyond structure, they support the functionality of Layout grids, Auto layout, and Constraints. Plus, frames are integral to prototyping, linking your designs into interactive flows.
