How to Hide the Guides in Figma

Use this interactive demo to learn how to remove and hide guides in your Figma design canvas.

Quick summary

Hiding guides in Figma is done by selecting the guide on your design canvas and using the Remove Guide option from the right-click context menu. This keeps your canvas clean without permanently altering your layout structure.


Steps

  1. Inside your Figma design canvas, find and select the guide you want to hide.
  2. Right-click on the selection, then choose Remove Guide from the context menu.
  3. After completing these steps, the selected guide will be hidden from view.

📌 Why this matters

Knowing how to hide or remove guides in Figma helps designers maintain a distraction-free canvas without disrupting their underlying layout structure. Guides are essential alignment tools, but cluttered canvases slow down design reviews and presentations. The ability to quickly remove a guide using the right-click context menu saves time and keeps Figma projects visually clean. This workflow is especially valuable for teams sharing design files or presenting mockups to stakeholders.
