- We're working on a full in-depth Figma course! Join the waitlist: flux-academy.typeform.com/to/...
Save 15,000 hours of works this year with this 5 min crash course on Figmas Auto-layout. Plus, I’ll go over how Auto-layout and Flexbox are exactly the same, which is important because most of your designs are going to be developed, so it’s best to design with the same tools you’ll be developing.

ive watched thousands of tutorials, from coding to design, from awesome presentors. this cleared up something difficult for me and is up there with the best of making something that appears complex appear simple. top job!
great content! auto layout is my current struggle especially on "fill" "hug" "fixed" so this is very helpful!
Wow, I am paying a lot of money for a course on dribble and I’m not really sure why they couldn’t lay it out so easily as you have. Thank you so much.
You're a G. thanks! looked for ages and couldn't find anyone with this kind of step-by-step tutorial.
Auto layouts is that one hard thing that makes things easier in the long run. I see a lot of designers hating it. But it just saves you time. It has limitations, I wish there was a wrap function similar to flex wrap. That’d be great
I love you. Just started the highest paying job I've ever had and I couldn't understand the auto-layout concept till you explained it. May God bless your soul in however many lives you end up having.
Perfect ! Thanks for this quick and efficient video ! You respect some much my work time, thank you
Oh, wow. This was such a great explanation. I'd like to see more content like this!
Wow...Thanks for the step-by-step approach, now understand better👍👍👍
Maybe sometime you could do a video on "Style guide", struggling a bit with getting how to make a simple one to fit specific design projects
Great explainer, for folks coming into this system. The more an more alignment the tools get directly to the web the better. I still just need figma to add proper min-max FR logic (ie webflow style) to create full funnel responsive flex container with flex grids.
The best thing is that the way you explain things it's amezing....👏👏
Man this is what I needed. Thanks!
wow!! am so excited ,the way nailed this topic is amazing thanks for the great job
I would love to learn more about Figma's Constraints!
Thank you for the breakdown man
I have understood it first time amazing content and thank you
Thanks a lot ! It's very easy to understand.
Amazing explanation!!
😮 Thank you SO much!! Very Helpful
Amazing tutorial bro mad ups
Superb, Explanation.
Do something more about figma animations
Thank you its very useful for me.
well explained ! thank you !
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks sir it helped a lot
Genius ! I'll do like this next time !
I have some issues on figma with components icons, if I use it in a variant it says (I need to do a button with an icon and another without icon) : not use within componant...I dont know why and its hard to find a solution on google !
Amazing, thanks for sharing. Its life saver 😂
Thanks, It was useful video
It will be nice to watch video about components :)
Keep them coming
perfect video.
thanks so much!!!
great video bro! thank for sharing.....some time I added icon in left and heading text in right, and make it component but when we duplicate that to use multiple time later we change icon that would not be possible inside that component...can you explain why?
Thanks for sharing. How to create a Design System or Style Guide in Figma?
Thank You. More Auto layout videos 😊
Also building design systems videos 😊
I wish someone would've mentioned
before that Auto Layout is the same as a Flexbox
I can't remember that any others mentioned this important info
that could help a newbie more
quickly understand
Thanks
Thank's for sharing.💌
Excellent.
Dear Gabe,
I am happy to see your videos always.
But i have one small suggestion, please explain autolayout from very very basic, and from very very very very scratch. i know i am in intermediate level. But i am still looking something from AUTOLAYOUT. I hope you get it.
Boom - Mindblow! 💥
Wow good explain
I understand auto layout (and flexbox for that matter) perfectly but often I’m not using it because your Figma layout is not fixed, it’s bound to change because you are still in the prototyping phase, and auto layout adds more friction to design changes! Auto layout is awesome, IF you are sure, that you don’t need to change the layout anymore (and you can’t never be fully sure, just like we never call a file „final“). It’s best use case is if, you have a design that you use for many months/years and need to change text for example or if you need the same layout in different places. You just need to be careful when you use absolute positioning or auto layout.
so what do you reccomend to do instead? and does your comment apply also to flexbox (me just getting head around them)
Perfectly put!
I am seeing Spacing mode. Instead i can see only Strokes, Canvas Stacking and Align text base. How to get it?
Sometimes columns in a table aren't evenly spaced between each other. Any best way to define different spacing for different columns?
thank you
Do we really need to use auto layout for mobile app design in figma ?
I would like to learn on how to design with the different color gradients. Linear, Angular, Radial etc
I didn't get filled container option what should i do could you pls help me .
Was the "table" group actually necessary? I suppose it is easier to resize all rows by just selecting the table group but could you do without it?
Just bought my first private island thanks to this video.
🏝️
Joh dude. I watched a terrible tutorial on Auto-Layouts and was dredding learning them. But this was super easy though!
Glad it helped!
I would love a clear tutorial on the components/variations, especially with the Figma latest updates, I am lost...
I have auto layout elements in a frame and it disappears. How do I fix this? Thanks
why do you have to set container to fill though?
Make some more videos about auto layout
Yes, how to make the images scale smaller with auto layout
make a video about case study
been watching so many tutorial on auto layout but honestly only clarified my questions, thanks a lot. If would earn millions enough to buy helicopter in an island I would defiantly gift you one.
I can’t find packed on my layout
Mannn…. started out really well but those examples you chose to use were backwards and hard for a beginner to abstract and interpret… I just felt like it added a level of convolution you didn’t need to incorporate.
Just feedback - critical but fair, I can explain further if you like = hit me up! no worries! :). ….but I think you know what I’m meaning
I just gonna said OMG!
Who else is waiting for that 7mil 💀
Wireframe
Auto layout = Flexbox! That's it FIgma! Why reinvent it with a stupid name. Purely marketing purpose and confuses everyone. Explain it as a flexbox is, in the end IT IS A Flexbox.
Thanks Flux Academy!
Probably nesting
I still hate auto layout.
thats so fck under 5 minute to understand..
Ok this video is only if you know what it is. 👎👎👍
Figma isn't very logical. Very buggy too. Hug, fixed, fill, they drop out and stop working. Then constraints start to fail. Then components start failing. A nightmare to administrate tokens like colors together with typography cause Figma doesn't want that to happen so u forced to find colors manually all the time instead of having the chanse to work typography, color, size and everything in one place. Awful. This software is so non logical and buggy it should be taken off the market.
