Horizontal and Vertical Scrolling in Figma

Why should we use scrolling ?

There will be a time when you want to display multiple images horizontally or vertically in that case you would be able to show only few images based on your screen width or height so to overcome or to solve this problem we use scrolling using which we can scroll to use all images which we want to display.

First create a new page and select device of your choice and insert shapes of your choice I have used rectangle you can use shape of your choice and set dimension of your choice with rounded border.
You can softer your border by changing corner radius I have use 20.

Place multiple shapes of your choice


Now you can place images in your respective shapes and you can drop them.
