File rendering error: Completely black screen and missing canvas items

Hello Figma Support Team,

My file suddenly became completely black, and all elements/design components have disappeared. I have already attempted all standard troubleshooting steps, including:
- Opening in Incognito/Private mode and trying different browsers/devices
- Clearing browser cache and toggling Hardware Acceleration
- Restoring older versions via Version History (all show a black screen)

This seems to be a file-level corruption or server-side rendering issue. Could a support specialist please look into this file and help restore it to a working state?

File Link: [

Account Email: [redacted by the moderator due to PII]

Thank you for your assistance.

    Hey there, Celine from the Community Support team at Figma here! Thanks for explaining what happened and listing the steps you’ve already tried.

    Since I can’t access the file, could you check whether your elements still appear in the Layers panel? If they do, try selecting one and pressing Shift + 2 to zoom to it, or Shift + 1 to fit everything in view to see if that helps.

    Given that the file remains black across browsers and devices, even after restoring older versions, I’ve also created a support ticket on your behalf and included your file link and troubleshooting details.

    Please grant Can View access to the affected file to support-share@figma.com. The team will follow up directly by email (the one you have shared here). For reference, your case number is 2188993. Please reply to your support case directly with a screenshot of what you see and let them know whether the layers are still listed and whether zooming helps.

    There’s no need to submit another request or share your account email publicly here (I’ve redacted your personal information in your post). Thank you for your patience!

    Update: The support agent is waiting for your reply so they can investigate it further. Please check your inbox when you can, thanks!
