Fix layout shifts after importing a website into Figma

Check fonts, capture width and text wrapping before changing Auto Layout. Keep the original import as a reference.

Start with one visible mismatch

Duplicate the imported frame. Pick a heading or card that differs from the browser and compare it at the same width. If the whole layout has changed, verify the capture width first. If only text or nearby elements have moved, check the font family, weight and availability before changing the parent frame.

Check line breaks and letter spacing

A matching font name does not guarantee identical text measurement. Compare the line count, text box width and letter spacing. In our Fieldwork sample, tightly tracked headings wrapped again in Figma and overlapped the next line. The importer was corrected for that small width difference. For another page, try widening only the affected text box on the duplicate; do not scale the whole frame to hide the problem.

Inspect Auto Layout after the text

If text matches but children still move, check the parent frame's padding, gap and sizing modes. Figma supports wrapping, grid and baseline alignment; the question is whether the importer reproduced this particular CSS layout. Snapture applies Auto Layout only where its checks preserve the captured arrangement. Removing Auto Layout from an already shifted frame will not restore the browser positions.

Choose the smallest useful fix

If a font was missing, make it available and import again. If one title wraps differently, adjust that text layer or report the reproducible sample. If the whole section is wrong, recapture only that region at a recorded width. For support, include the URL where shareable, capture width, affected element and a screenshot of the mismatch. Send a sanitized file rather than private page contents.
