# resize_node

> Resize a node in Figma

Change the dimensions of a node by setting new width and height values.

## Parameters

<ParamField path="nodeId" type="string" required>
  The ID of the node to resize
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="width" type="number" required>
  New width in pixels (must be positive)
</ParamField>

<ParamField path="height" type="number" required>
  New height in pixels (must be positive)
</ParamField>

## Response

Returns the name of the resized node and its new dimensions.

```json theme={null}
{
  "name": "Container Frame"
}
```

## Examples

### Resize a frame to standard mobile dimensions

```typescript theme={null}
await resize_node({
  nodeId: "123:456",
  width: 375,
  height: 812
});
```

### Make a button wider

```typescript theme={null}
await resize_node({
  nodeId: "789:012",
  width: 200,
  height: 48
});
```

### Proportionally scale an element

```typescript theme={null}
// Get current dimensions
const nodeInfo = await get_node_info({ nodeId: "123:456" });
const currentWidth = nodeInfo.absoluteBoundingBox.width;
const currentHeight = nodeInfo.absoluteBoundingBox.height;

// Double the size while maintaining aspect ratio
await resize_node({
  nodeId: "123:456",
  width: currentWidth * 2,
  height: currentHeight * 2
});
```

### Create a square from a rectangle

```typescript theme={null}
const nodeInfo = await get_node_info({ nodeId: "123:456" });
const maxDimension = Math.max(
  nodeInfo.absoluteBoundingBox.width,
  nodeInfo.absoluteBoundingBox.height
);

await resize_node({
  nodeId: "123:456",
  width: maxDimension,
  height: maxDimension
});
```

## Notes

* Both width and height must be positive numbers
* Resizing affects the node's bounding box; content inside may overflow or be clipped
* Text nodes will reflow text content to fit the new dimensions
* Auto-layout frames may constrain resizing behavior based on their layout settings
* Children of resized frames are not automatically scaled
