Figma UI3 came with some exciting updates, with many new cool features and a redesign. If you’ve been wondering how to hide the Figma toolbar at the bottom, you’re not alone.
This new version came with a major change: the toolbar has moved to the bottom and is a part of the canvas.
Do you wish that you could hide the toolbar menu on the bottom so that you have more space to design? It can make it less overwhelming for sure. If you use shortcuts or know your way around it, you may not need that bottom toolbar.
I was wanting the exact same thing, but I noticed that it wasn’t possible to disable it.
The problem? There was no option for it.
So I decided to solve it:

After feeling frustrated there wasn't a native solution for this, I decided to develop a lightweight, premium Chrome extension to solve this – originally to solve my own problem, and also to help anyone else who might find it helpful. Now you can finally hide the bottom Figma toolbar!
Updated: Compatible with the latest version of Figma UI3
And it has sure come in handy! It’s much easier on the eyes now and for concentration. Here’s a quick video I took of the before and after using the extension:
I hope you find it useful. 🙂
Designers often face the challenge of limited screen space, especially when working on intricate projects. A new Chrome extension aims to solve this by hiding the bottom toolbar in Figma, providing more room for creativity. This extension is a game-changer for designers who crave a clutter-free workspace.
Every pixel counts when designing. The bottom toolbar in Figma, while useful, can sometimes get in the way. By hiding it, designers can focus more on their work and less on navigating the interface. This extension offers a simple yet effective solution to maximize your screen real estate.
The extension is designed with user experience in mind. It seamlessly integrates with Figma, allowing you to hide and show the bottom toolbar with a single click. This feature is particularly useful for those who work on smaller screens or need more space for detailed designs.
Installing the extension is straightforward. First, this is a private invite-only extension that you can purchase with a simple one-time payment. Click here to get the extension. With your purchase, you will get forever access to this private extension I developed (as well as any updates that are released).
A clutter-free workspace can significantly boost productivity. With the bottom toolbar hidden, designers can enjoy a larger canvas to work on. This extension helps streamline the design process, making it easier to focus on what truly matters – creating stunning designs.
Early users of the extension have praised its simplicity and effectiveness. Many have noted how much easier it is to work on complex projects without the distraction of the bottom toolbar. The positive feedback highlights the extension’s value in enhancing the Figma experience.
The extension is compatible with the latest versions of Chrome and Figma. Regular updates will ensure it remains functional and up-to-date with any changes in Figma’s interface. This commitment to compatibility guarantees a smooth user experience.
While the primary function is to hide the bottom toolbar, the extension also offers customization options. Users can choose to hide other elements of the Figma interface, tailoring their workspace to their specific needs. This flexibility makes the extension a versatile tool for any designer.
Security is a top priority for the extension developers. The extension does not collect any personal data or interfere with your Figma projects. It operates solely to enhance your workspace, ensuring your designs remain private and secure.
In conclusion, this Chrome extension is a must-have for Figma users looking to maximize their screen space. Its ability to hide the bottom toolbar provides a cleaner, more efficient workspace. Whether you’re a professional designer or a hobbyist, this extension can help you create with more freedom and less distraction.
