How to Use Clip Content in Figma

Use this interactive demo to learn how to enable Clip Content on a Figma frame.

Quick summary

The Clip Content feature in Figma lets you hide any child elements that extend beyond a frame's boundaries. Enabling it takes just a few clicks inside the Design tab of the right-side panel.


Steps

  1. Inside your Figma design canvas, select the frame you want to edit.
  2. Go to the right-side panel and find the Layout section under the Design tab.
  3. Tick the checkbox next to Clip Content.
  4. The content of the selected Figma frame will be clipped instantly.

📌 Why this matters

The Clip Content feature in Figma gives designers precise control over how child elements are displayed within a frame, ensuring that overflow content is hidden cleanly without manual masking or workarounds. This is essential for building polished, production-ready UI components where overflow visibility can break layouts or misrepresent the final design. By enabling Clip Content directly from the Design tab in seconds, teams can maintain design consistency and reduce handoff errors. It is a foundational Figma skill for anyone working on responsive layouts, component libraries, or pixel-perfect prototypes.
