An edge case however I’d love to see this update eventually. I have a segmented button component that contains nested button component variants. This segmented button component lives in many different places in my UI, utilising the different forms of the nest button component (text , icon, icon and text) I’d like to be able to set a min width to the nested button components inside my segmented button component instance WITHOUT having to set the min width to the master button component. Thank you.

Subject: Request for Billing Adjustment for This MonthHi Figma Support,I hope you’re doing well.We have just started our new monthly cycle and are preparing to make this month’s payment. However, because we removed two users a bit late, the billing calculation is showing an incorrect amount.We kindly request that you review and adjust the payment amount for this month.Thank you for your help

Hi, I just want to share a concern.Recently I came across the message of the Figma Make monthly limit, which I would have crossed (when it’s going to be implemented). I just want to mention that the limits are waaaaaay to low. Especially, prompting with AI requires a back and forth of conversation usually because 1) it’s better to ask 1 thing at a time instead of a bunch of things, 2) with 1 things fixed, it can break something else, and so another prompt is required to fix what the AI has broken.This way, creating a decent prototype to test some UX patterns can exceed the limit in just a day or few hours of prompting. Which is kind of not what we want as we might need it practically every week, multiple days. So increase the limit by a ten fold (10x) would be a more acceptable limit. Also, I would love to just pay a bit more every month to just have unlimited prompts. Imposing those current very small limits will not help us at all, it might rather push us towards other AI prompting t

Hi! I upgraded my Figma account from using the free version to the basic plan. Since I did that I can no longer switch to design mode when I could do that with my free account. Please can someone fix this asap. Otherwise I will downgrade my account.

Hello fellows, i have designed below illustrator and wanted to digitize it on the back of a t-shirt and maybe on cap. Do you guys know anyone to do that for me? free or paid maybe? 

SummaryWhen creating a new shape with the shape tool while a layer is selected, Figma always places the new object at the top of the layer stack within its parent frame or group. This behavior ignores the currently selected layer and creates friction when working inside complex hierarchies.ProblemIn large frames or deeply nested structures, new shapes regularly need to be inserted near a specific layer. Figma’s current behavior forces users to: Manually reposition the new object in the layer list every time Or create shapes elsewhere and use “Paste Here” Or duplicate existing objects just to preserve layer order These are workarounds that break flow, especially during layout construction, wireframing, or when adding utility shapes inside structured components.Why This Matters Slows down designers working with complex design systems Adds unnecessary layer management steps Breaks expected behavior based on other design tools (e.g., Illustrator, Sketch), which insert relative to s

Using Firefox browser, any time I deselect an object in Figma (frames, images, etc), a gray box that says “paste” appears next to my cursor and moving the mouse automatically triggers a box-select (as if I were holding and dragging the mouse). I have to press Esc to make the “paste” box go away and click somewhere without selecting anything to make the box-select go away. This happens any time I deselect anything. This means that if I accidentally select something using the bug-induced box-select, it loops me back into the bug. It is hugely obtrusive to getting any work done.

Hi Figma Team, While working across multiple design systems and cleaning older project files, I’ve noticed a recurring friction point in the Color Styles panel: Figma does not support searching color styles by their hex values.This small limitation creates a surprisingly large productivity gap for designers and teams. The Core IssueCurrently, the Color Styles search recognizes only the style name, not its underlying hex code.But in real workflows, hex values are often the most direct, reliable reference point — especially when working across old files, new token systems, or unlinked fills.Evidences  Why This MattersHere are a few common scenarios where hex-based search would significantly improve workflow efficiency:1. Faster Updating & Mapping ColorsWhen aligning older files with a new design system, designers often copy a hex from the canvas and expect the matching style to appear in search — but it doesn’t.2. Easier Reviewing of Junior Designers’ FilesJuniors sometimes use direc

I have a prototype embedded into a slide and that works great, But when I embed the slides file on my Square Space site I get the “www.figma.com refused to connect.” error message and the prototype doesn’t load. I searched and made sure all the permissions are set correctly. Is this a bug or some security setting within the browser?  Any help will be appreciated, for now I have a work around that opens the prototype in a new window via a text link but that is clunky.  

Is there any chance to have the ability to selectively apply string variables to specific words within a paragraph? This can change my (professional) life 🙂

The controls for component properties appear twice when in slides mode. Not the end of the world but kinda annoying to work with some dropdowns. Surfacing this as it does not look like intended behavior.Card in design modeExact same card in slides mode 

Couldn't reach server, try again in aTry againminuteI am getting this error for the last hour is there anything down on Figma side? 

When exporting variant names, the file name becomes a combination of all the variant properties. There is no way to control the variant export name, which is especially difficult for developer hand-off. In this example, I have a back icon variant group (Named “Back”) containing both an Apple and an Android variant of the back icon. If I then go to export the Apple variant as an SVG, The variant export name then defaults to “OS Type=Apple.svg” It would be even worse if I had multiple properties. For example, having two more properties could result in a variant name export as “OS Type=Apple, Direction=Left, Style=Line.svg” This is a very poor naming convention, especially for icons. What I would like to have is the ability to control the name given to each variant export. In the above example, I would like the Apple icon to export as the name “back.ios.svg” and the Android icon to export as “back.android.svg”. This way, our developers can export assets as needed directly from Figma wi

The instructions page for saving a local copy does not mention this anywhere. But I’m wondering what “save partial file” actually does. I had always assumed that it would at least save the variables, but not any image assets. But I would like confirmation on this. Sometimes I clone a file just for the variables (dont need all the other stuff in it) and I use “save partial file” to do this quickly. Is this a safe assumption or??

Resolved: After 1h or so it fixed itself~ :) 

When I click the Share button and then close the modal, pressing the spacebar to pan around the canvas in Figma reopens the Share modal instead. I have to press Escape first—presumably to return focus to the canvas—before the spacebar works normally again.

I made the components for the icons in the following manner:The outer frames of the Icons have autolayout 24px width and length, and the vector inside has 22px the biggest length or width. The vector has ignore autolayout on, with scale and center on, the width and height have a locked aspect ratio. When resizing them in a component, like for example a button, they were scaling perfectly fine for at least 4 months, but now the outer frame scales well, while the vector is still 24px. When I click it sometimes, it goes back to how it needs to be scaled. Did anyone encounter this issue recently? 

Figma's UI already supports RTL/LTR text direction and shows a direction toggle in the sidebar. But this property isn't available through the Plugin API.Is there a reason textDirection isn't exposed on TextNode? It would be really helpful for building RTL ↔ LTR layout conversion tools. Right now we're stuck using textAlignHorizontal as a workaround, which doesn't fully replicate how native RTL text behaves.Would love to see something like textDirection: 'LTR' | 'RTL' | 'AUTO' added to the API. Is this on the roadmap?

Hello Figma community,My name is Hala, and I am currently trying to verify my Figma Education account. I have submitted all required documents, including my student schedule and report card, to prove that I am an active student at Canadian Business College in Toronto.However, I am still having difficulties completing the verification process, and my account has not been approved yet. I kindly request your assistance in reviewing my submission or letting me know if there is anything else I need to provide to finalize the verification.Thank you very much for your time and support. I appreciate your help in resolving this issue.

I am using a professional plan but have suddenly lost access to plugins. They are now blocked by a popup that wants to convert the account to a full seat. I updated Figma this morning but the issue remains. All plugins are triggering this popup when selected.Would appreciate any help to resolve this bug as I’m unable to export variables which is a big issue for development. Clicking Actions and then selecting a plugin The plugin is blocked with this popup and there is no option to just use the plugin 

You can currently set multiple stroke colours to an object, but they will share the same properties (thickness, position, etc.). My idea is that you should be able to set all stroke properties on each stroke: Make sense or am I missing something?

It seems a lot of people are having trouble with this, and looking through responses it seems I’ve hit a wall. I was prompted to verify my education status, to which I did successfully, but was then reprompted less than a week later, giving me the verification limit exceeded screen.  I contacted SheerID and they responded promptly stating:After reviewing our records, I see that your verification request was successfully processed on September 17, 2025. You’re all set, and there’s nothing further you need to do on your end, as your verification is complete. According to Figma's guidelines, you’re eligible to apply for this offer once every 335 days, and you can reapply for it again after this timeframe has passed. Since your previous request was approved within this timeframe, your discount remains active and valid. As a result, submitting a new request will cause system errors and is unnecessary. After doing some of the recommended fixes (logging out and back in, clearing cache, etc.)

Hi all.I started see size issues with the vector within my icon components. In short, the vector/shape within the icon doesn’t resize according the icon size. The vector shape is already using scale, so it’s nothing easy. This issue started showing up in the last couple days. Sometimes the issue is fixed by double-clicking on the component (but this only work for the icon component, anything that’s nested doesn’t work). This looks new, never had this issue before.
