Using 'crop' which cuts the image.

Using 'stretch' which distorts the image.

The tile mode repeats the image to fill the frame.

4fill in blank

Fill both blanks to set the image fill mode to stretch and set the opacity to 50%.

image.opacity = [2]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using opacity value 1 which is fully opaque.

Using fillMode 'crop' or 'fit' instead of 'stretch'.

Setting fillMode to stretch distorts the image to fill the frame. Setting opacity to 0.5 makes the image 50% transparent.

5fill in blank

hard

Fill all three blanks to set the image fill mode to fit, set opacity to 75%, and set the image rotation to 90 degrees.

Figma

image.fillMode = '[1]'
image.opacity = [2]
image.rotation = [3]

Drag options to blanks, or click blank then click option'

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using opacity values greater than 1 or less than 0.

Using rotation values other than degrees.

Confusing fill modes like crop and fit.

Setting fillMode to fit scales the image inside the frame without distortion. Opacity 0.75 means 75% visible. Rotation 90 rotates the image clockwise by 90 degrees.

Practice

1. Which image fill mode in Figma shows the entire image but may leave empty space around it?

easy

A. Crop

B. Fit

C. Fill

D. Tile

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand the Fit mode

   Fit mode scales the image to show the whole picture inside the frame, preserving aspect ratio.

2. Step 2: Compare with other modes

   Fill crops the image to fill the frame, Crop lets you select visible parts, Tile repeats the image.

3. Final Answer:

   Fit -> Option B

4. Quick Check:

   Fit shows whole image with space [OK]

Hint: Fit shows all image, Fill crops to fill space [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Confusing Fill with Fit
• Thinking Crop shows whole image
• Assuming Tile fits image once

2. Which of the following is the correct way to set an image fill mode to Tile in Figma?

easy

A. Select image > Fill > Choose Tile

B. Select image > Crop > Choose Tile

C. Select image > Fit > Choose Tile

D. Select image > Fill > Choose Fit

Solution

1. Step 1: Locate Fill settings

   Tile mode is set under the Fill section where you choose how the image fills the shape.

2. Step 2: Confirm Tile selection

   Choosing Tile under Fill repeats the image to fill the frame.

3. Final Answer:

   Select image > Fill > Choose Tile -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   Tile is a Fill option [OK]

Hint: Tile is under Fill, not Crop or Fit [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Trying to set Tile under Crop
• Confusing Fit with Tile
• Selecting Fit instead of Tile

3. Given an image with aspect ratio 4:3 placed inside a square frame using Fill mode, what will happen to the image?

medium

A. The image will be cropped to fill the square without distortion.

B. The image will be stretched to fit the square exactly.

C. The image will fit inside the square with empty space around it.

D. The image will repeat to fill the square.

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand Fill mode behavior

   Fill mode scales the image to cover the entire frame, cropping parts if needed, without stretching.

2. Step 2: Apply to 4:3 image in square frame

   The image will crop some parts to fill the square frame fully, preserving aspect ratio.

3. Final Answer:

   The image will be cropped to fill the square without distortion. -> Option A

4. Quick Check:

   Fill crops image to fill frame [OK]

Hint: Fill crops, Fit leaves space [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Thinking Fill stretches image
• Confusing Fit with Fill
• Assuming Tile repeats image

4. You set an image fill mode to Crop but the image does not show the expected part. What is the likely mistake?

medium

A. You used Fit mode which always shows the whole image.

B. You selected Tile instead of Crop mode.

C. You forgot to adjust the crop area after selecting Crop mode.

D. You set Fill mode which crops automatically.

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand Crop mode usage

   Crop mode requires manually adjusting the visible area to show the desired part.

2. Step 2: Identify common user error

   If the image does not show expected part, likely the crop box was not moved or resized.

3. Final Answer:

   You forgot to adjust the crop area after selecting Crop mode. -> Option C

4. Quick Check:

   Crop needs manual adjustment [OK]

Hint: Adjust crop box after selecting Crop mode [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Assuming Crop auto-shows correct part
• Confusing Tile with Crop
• Using Fit instead of Crop

5. You want to create a repeating background pattern inside a large frame in Figma. Which fill mode should you use and why?

hard

A. Use Fit mode to show the whole image once with empty space.

B. Use Fill mode to crop and stretch the image to fill the frame.

C. Use Crop mode to select a part and stretch it to fill the frame.

D. Use Tile mode to repeat the image and fill the frame seamlessly.

Solution

1. Step 1: Understand repeating patterns need Tile mode

   Tile mode repeats the image multiple times to fill large areas seamlessly.

2. Step 2: Compare other modes

   Fit shows one image with space, Crop selects part but no repeat, Fill crops but no repeat.

3. Final Answer:

   Use Tile mode to repeat the image and fill the frame seamlessly. -> Option D

4. Quick Check:

   Tile repeats images for patterns [OK]

Hint: Tile repeats images; perfect for backgrounds [OK]

Common Mistakes:

• Using Fill or Fit for repeating patterns
• Thinking Crop repeats image
• Stretching image instead of repeating
