Designing responsive layouts in Figma can be a tricky task, especially when it comes to ensuring that media elements like images maintain their aspect ratios while resizing. The default constraints in Figma tend to crop or stretch the media, which is not ideal for creating smooth-scaling designs across different screen sizes.
To overcome this challenge, Felix introduces a smart aspect ratio hack that works perfectly for images and other media content. This trick involves creating a hidden container with transparent aspect ratio locks, which allow the height and width of the media to adjust proportionally as the container is resized.
