Layout grids help you organize and align content in your designs. Think of them like invisible lines that guide where text, images, and other elements should go, ensuring everything looks neat and orderly. By using these grids, you can ensure your work is consistent, meaning that all parts of the design match and look good together.

Layout grids go beyond the constraints of the pixel grid, meaning they are not tied to a specific resolution or dimensions. This is particularly useful when creating apps and websites that need to function on various devices and screen sizes, whether it's a phone, tablet, or computer.

You can only apply layout grids to frames in Figma, whether it's a top-level frame or a frame nested within another.
