Use this interactive demo to learn how to flip and mirror objects in your Figma design canvas.

Quick summary

Mirroring objects in Figma lets you instantly create a flipped duplicate of any element, either horizontally or vertically, without manual redrawing. Using the built-in Actions menu, designers can apply a mirror effect in seconds and reuse the reflected copy directly in their design.


Steps

  1. Inside your Figma design canvas, select the object you want to mirror.
  2. Go to the bottom section and click 'Actions'.
  3. Search for 'Mirror' and select it from the suggested results.
  4. Choose your preferred mirroring style — mirror the object horizontally or vertically.
  5. Tap 'Mirror' to apply the effect.
  6. The mirror effect is applied and a duplicate object is created, ready to use in your Figma design.

📌 Why this matters

Mirroring objects in Figma is an essential design skill that saves time and ensures perfect symmetry across UI components, icons, and layouts. Instead of manually redrawing or transforming elements, designers can use the Actions menu to flip any object horizontally or vertically in just a few clicks. This capability is especially valuable for creating symmetrical illustrations, balanced navigation icons, and reflected layout elements without sacrificing precision. Mastering the mirror feature in Figma helps design teams work faster and maintain visual consistency across their projects.
