Here is a step-by-step guide on how to use the slice tool in Figma:

Why should you use this feature?

Figma is a collaborative interface design tool that empowers designers to create, prototype, and share stunning visuals seamlessly.

The slice tool in Figma allows designers to define specific areas of their designs for export, making it easy to optimize and share particular sections without exporting entire canvases.

This feature is particularly beneficial when working on responsive designs, as it enables precise extraction of assets for different resolutions.

Using the slice tool enhances workflow efficiency and ensures that assets maintain their intended quality and size.
