Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mirror multiple objects at once in Figma?

Yes, you can select multiple objects by holding Shift and clicking each item, or by dragging to select a group. The Mirror plugin will then apply the mirroring effect to all selected objects simultaneously.

What's the difference between horizontal and vertical mirroring in Figma?

Horizontal mirroring flips your object left to right, creating a mirror image along the vertical axis. Vertical mirroring flips your object top to bottom, creating a mirror image along the horizontal axis.

Do I need to install the Mirror plugin separately in Figma?

The Mirror plugin may need to be installed from the Figma Community if it's not already available in your Actions menu. You can search for it in the plugins section and install it for free to use in your projects.
