Grouping objects in Figma is a fundamental action for organizing your design layers. The most common and efficient way to group a selection is by using a simple keyboard shortcut after selecting the desired layers.
Steps to Group Objects
To group two or more objects in Figma, follow these straightforward steps:
-
Select Your Objects: Use your mouse to select all the layers or objects you want to include in the group. You can click and drag a selection box or hold down the
Shiftkey and click on individual layers in the canvas or the Layers panel. -
Apply the Keyboard Shortcut: Once you have two or more objects selected, you can group them instantly using the specific keyboard shortcut for your operating system.
- Reference Information: As noted in the "Create a group" reference, there are specific shortcuts for Mac and Windows:

Keyboard Shortcuts for Grouping
Here are the exact keyboard shortcuts to group your selected objects in Figma:
| Operating System | Shortcut |
|---|---|
| Mac | ⌘ Command G |
| Windows | Control G |
Using these shortcuts will immediately place the selected layers into a new group layer within the Layers panel, named "Group 1" by default (you can double-click to rename it). Grouping helps keep your design file tidy and makes it easier to move, scale, or manage multiple elements together as a single unit.
