You can add grid styles in Figma by creating a grid style and applying it to your design. This allows you to easily create and manage consistent grids across your project.

Here's how to do it:

  1. Create a Grid Style:
    • Click the plus icon in the Grid Styles panel.
    • Name your grid style.
    • Choose the desired grid type:
      • Columns: Creates vertical columns.
      • Rows: Creates horizontal rows.
      • Columns & Rows: Creates a grid with both columns and rows.
    • Adjust the column/row spacing and gutter size.
    • Set the grid size (number of columns/rows).
    • Optionally, add a background color to your grid.
  2. Apply the Grid Style:
    • Select the frame or layer you want to apply the grid to.
    • Click the Grid Styles panel.
    • Choose the desired grid style from the list.

Examples:

  • Designing a website layout: Apply a grid style with columns to create a consistent layout for your website content.
  • Creating a mobile app interface: Use a grid style with rows to organize elements vertically on a mobile screen.
  • Designing a marketing poster: Apply a grid style with columns and rows to create a visually appealing layout for text and images.

By using grid styles, you can ensure consistency and maintain a clean, organized design throughout your Figma projects.
