How to Make a Carousel in Figma

Use this interactive demo to learn how to build a horizontally scrollable image carousel in Figma.

Quick summary

Creating a carousel in Figma requires placing images inside a frame, then using the Prototype panel to set horizontal overflow scrolling. Once configured, you can present the prototype and scroll through images interactively to validate the carousel behavior.


Steps

  1. In your Figma design canvas, select the images you want in the carousel and drag them into a frame.
  2. Select the frame that contains all the images.
  3. Open the right-side panel and click the Prototype tab.
  4. Tap the Overflow menu under Scroll Behavior.
  5. Choose Horizontal from the list of overflow options.
  6. Click the Present button to launch the prototype and view your carousel.
  7. In the presented prototype, scroll the images horizontally to confirm the carousel effect is working correctly.

📌 Why this matters

Building a carousel prototype in Figma lets designers validate horizontal scroll interactions before a single line of code is written, saving development time and reducing costly revisions. By leveraging Figma's native Prototype panel and Overflow scrolling settings, teams can create realistic, interactive image carousels directly within their design workflow. This approach is essential for UX designers who need to communicate scroll-based UI patterns clearly to developers and stakeholders. Mastering Figma carousel prototyping accelerates design handoff and ensures the intended user experience is accurately captured in every review session.
