Margins

Margins define a safe zone inside the trim edge of your page. In Print for Figma you set them on the Create tab before generating a frame — the plugin draws them as Figma layout guides so critical content stays clear of the cut.

Create a page with margins

1. Stay on the Create tab (New subtab) and pick a preset (or custom size).
2. Toggle Margins on. Print for Figma fills the common default for your unit:
   • 0.5 in when the document unit is imperial
   • 6 mm when the document unit is metric
3. Click Create. The frame gets blue margin guides on every side.

Change the margin size

1. Open Margins (or leave it open after enabling).
2. Edit Top, Bottom, Left, or Right. With the chain link on, one value applies to every side — unlink for asymmetric margins (for example a wider gutter on a bound edge).
3. Click Create when you are ready to generate (or recreate) the page.

Show and hide margins

Margin guides are Figma layout guides — design aids only, ignored on PDF export.

1. Select the print frame on the canvas.
2. Press ⇧G/Shift+G to toggle layout guides on or off.
