Vertical wrap brings multi-column thinking to Auto Layout

Figma’s vertical-wrap option lets items flow down and continue in a new column, bringing Auto Layout closer to familiar flexbox behaviour.

Blue and ivory tiles arranged in a precise wrapping grid

Editorial lists, dense menus and adaptable data layouts become easier to model without detached frames or manual placement.

What changed

Figma added vertical wrap to Auto Layout on September 25. Items can fill a column and continue into another, expanding what a responsive component can represent.

Why it matters

Check reading order and long-copy states. A visually neat wrap only works if the structure stays predictable for developers and assistive technologies.
