Use this interactive demo to learn how to combine multiple objects into a single group in Figma.

Quick summary

Grouping objects in Figma lets you manage multiple design elements as a single unit, making it easier to move, resize, and organize your canvas. This four-step process uses Figma's built-in right-click context menu to combine any selection of objects instantly.

Steps

Inside your Figma design canvas, select the objects you want to group together.
Right-click on the selection to open the available context menu options.
Click "Group Selection" from the context menu.
The selected objects are now grouped into one single element on your canvas.

📌 Why this matters

Grouping objects in Figma is a foundational workflow skill that helps designers keep their canvas organized and their layers panel clean. By combining multiple elements into a single group, teams can move, scale, and apply changes to complex components without disrupting individual layer positions. This feature is essential for maintaining consistent design systems and speeding up collaboration between designers and developers. Mastering Figma's Group Selection shortcut reduces manual effort and prevents costly layout errors during handoff.
