How to Hide Frame Name in Figma

Figma makes it easy to keep your canvas organized, but sometimes frame names can get visually distracting—especially when you’re presenting designs or trying to maintain a clean layout. Luckily, Figma offers a quick way to hide frame names from the canvas view while keeping them accessible in the Layers panel. This guide shows you exactly how to do that and when it’s useful.

🎯 Why Hide Frame Names?

By default, when you create a frame in Figma (using the F key or the Frame tool), its name appears in the top-left corner of the frame on the canvas. This is helpful for identification and collaboration—but in certain cases, you may want to hide it:

You’re creating mockups or prototypes for presentation
You want to reduce visual clutter
You’re designing overlapping layouts and the labels get in the way
You’re recording or exporting visuals and want a cleaner look

🛠 How to Hide the Frame Name

Follow these steps to hide a frame name from view on the canvas:

Select the Frame
Click on the frame directly on the canvas or choose it from the Layers panel.
Go to the Design Panel
On the right-hand sidebar, locate the Layer section.
Uncheck “Show Name”
You’ll see a checkbox labeled “Show name”—simply uncheck it.

Once unchecked, the name will disappear from the canvas but remain visible in the Layers panel and file organization.

🔁 How to Re-Show the Frame Name

Want to bring it back?

Select the frame again.
Go to the Layer section in the right sidebar.
Re-check the “Show name” box.

The frame name will reappear exactly where it was.

🧩 Additional Tips

This only affects the canvas view—not exports or Dev Mode.
You can hide multiple frame names by selecting multiple frames and unchecking “Show name” once.
This setting is persistent: once you hide it, the frame will remain unnamed on canvas until re-enabled.

✅ Final Thoughts

Figma’s option to hide frame names gives you more control over your workspace visibility. Whether you’re presenting to stakeholders or just trying to declutter, knowing how to toggle these labels on and off helps maintain a tidy, focused design canvas. And since the names still exist behind the scenes, your organization and file structure stay intact.
