I'm having trouble using the glass effect in Figma and I'm not sure what I might be missing. Is there something I might be missing or any common issues to check?I've been trying to apply a glass effect to my designs but it doesn't seem to be working as expected. I'm wondering if:- There are specific requirements for using the glass effect- It might be related to my subscription plan or account type- There are certain conditions that need to be met for it to work properly- It's a known issue that others have experiencedAny guidance or troubleshooting tips would be greatly appreciated!

Hi support team,I recently graduated from my school and I have lost access to my student figma accountl. Please help me recover my files or update the account’s email with the new one. I have years and years of work that suddenly just disappeared !school email: [redacted by forum admin/moderator to remove PII]new email address with no existing figma account: [redacted by forum admin/moderator to remove PII] student team: KIUTECHI already submitted a request via this link https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=360001731233please help !

I would love some help please :) Thank you! I want one action to trigger another. Ie: When I click the ‘number’ (which is a component), another component variant (the box) goes from close to open. I cannot figure out how to do this. I’ve tried applying variables too but it just does not work.   

When I am importing pdf - it automatically goes to FigJam. I need to work in Figma design or Slides, I copy graphs to Figma design but all elements have corner radiuses (3). I need 0, I change to 0, looks good, as soon as I change size/scale - reverts to 3 corner radius. Elements show up as “shape with text” (even though there is no text), there is no option to detach in menu, shortcuts and plugins to detach, flatten do not work. What is the best way to:a) detach FigJam layers so they don’t revert backb) is there a way to control to import to Figma design or Figma Slides directly (drag and drop results in failure, import via button always imports to FigJam) to avoid this problemThank you for any help

Hi! I was trying to export my banner but it doesn’t comes with the right size of the image..I’m struggling to find what I am doing wrong 

Does Figma Buzz automap your csv/xlxs field names to your Figma layer/component/frame names?

Hello,I assigned a Figma Seat type Full subscription to the Admin account for testing, and then released it the same day. An entry appeared in the Billing tab stating that on October 2, 2025, there will be a charge of around 550 EUR. I currently have 5 annual Full licenses purchased. A quarter ago it was possible to cancel additional subscriptions, and I hope it will be the same this time. I would be grateful for your confirmation.

It has happened with me multiple times, that I go to click Delete, I accidentally click on \ - the keyboard shortcut in Mac to “select parent”. And then I go click Delete and end up deleting the whole frame. I’d rather not have that keyboard shortcut, is there a way that it can be removed from the platform, or is there a way that I can remove that just for myself.

I am getting an infinite series of errors in Figma Make. Any ideas on how to fix this otherwise it appears I need to scrap my project! https://monosnap.com/file/V2eHfSz9yLUVOdNzLfjxG64dXZPxds

Hello! I was following a tutorial on how to create a design system. I have a collection with two variable modes: Desktop and Mobile.When I switch the frame to the Mobile variable, the button’s horizontal padding is supposed to change, but nothing happens.Am I doing something wrong? 

In the past, there was a way to export selected framers into a single PDF, as described here:  Since a recent update, this doesn’t anymore. And I can’t figure out how to make it. Any idea?

Hi guys! i wanted to ask that I am a student and i was hoping to get the student discount but I am from india so my school doesn't provide with the student mail id. So, I emailed figma and asked them if i could provide with my report card, my transfer certificate, fee reciept, anything that could prove i am a Student but it's been 5 days since i mailed them but they haven't emailed back. Is there anything I could do to contect them or anything?

i had an account with a subscription that i lost the password to and anyway of retreiving it, how can i cancel this subscription, the gmail i believe is (redacted by the moderator due to PII)

It would be great if we could put the properties in the order we want in the variants. With drag and drop like layers. Have a good day 🙂

Hi, I have a side panel with buttons, and when clicking on one of the categories, the main screen slides to the correct categories. This works great. The buttons are in variant components with three states (default, hover, and selected). When I click on the button, I have two interactions set up in the prototype: ‘scroll to’ (to scroll to the section) ‘change to’ : state = selected My issue is that I want the button to go back to the default state when I click on another one. Is there a way to do that? (for now, they all become selected when I click one after the other). Thank you in advance, Anaïs

I just can’t extract an image using Figma MCP.As you can see its successful, but it gives me a url like this, which doesn’t point to anything hence the images do not get rendered.Also attaching my Figma MCP settings.    And before anyone talks about it losing context etc because of the size. This is what I’m exporting, just this…Because I just want to find out how to do a successful export with an image. 

Hello Figma Community,I am a student from Iran facing financial and access limitations due to international restrictions. I cannot upgrade to a Professional Plan but need advanced features for my academic projects.If anyone from Figma team or community can guide me on how to request educational access, I would greatly appreciate it. I’m happy to provide my student ID for verification.Thank you!  [Arash Kardar]

Hello Figma Support Team,I recently noticed that my subscription has been renewed, but unfortunately, I have not been using Figma for the past year. I even hardly remembered the login credentials for my account, which shows that I have not accessed the service at all.Since I have not used the service during this time, I would like to kindly ask if it would be possible to receive a refund for the latest charge, and I will make sure to cancel my subscription to avoid future renewals.Thank you for your understanding and support. I really appreciate your help.Best regards,Chonpeeti 

I am unable to do anything on any file in Figma Make - hoping I can restore functionality - of course I am pushing a deadline - so the “try again later” part is a) frustrating (try it now… try it now… how much later? and b) is this the only remedy? 

I tried searching for this specific animation or tutorial but couldnt find one.. all of them are simple animation. Any help would be highly appreciated !!

I created a prototype on the free plan.I was able to upgrade to the education plan due to the course i am taking.I now have no access to edit my prototype. Nor can I downgrade to the free/non educational plan. I can see that there is no functionality from previous topics to move people - weird function to exclude, especially as being the main program for UX/UI. why cant i use the prototyping tool on the education plan how do i downgrade to free without education

Hello Figma team,I have suddenly started seeing red lines and a red dot on top of any object I hover over in a Figma file. Since this change, I am unable to move any objects with the move tool. I'm not sure if I accidentally clicked something that enabled a feature or changed a setting.

Hello,I can’t manage to make a button inside a frame (display) replace an image [1] with an image [2] when clicked.What I would like to have in a frame (display) is this:On click → button [A] changes to button [B] → changes to button [C],and at the same time, clicking on button [A], [B], or [C] replaces the image in the same frame (display) with another one [1] → [2] → [3].In detail:- Inside the frame (display) there is button [A] and image [1].- When I click on button [A], it changes to button [B] and at the same time replaces image [1] with image [2].- When I then click on button [B], it changes to button [C] and the image changes to [3].- When I click again on button [C], it goes back to button [A] and image [1].Does anyone know how I can set this up properly in Figma?Thanks a lot in advance

Hey everyone,I’m a full-stack developer who builds Figma plugins, and I want to create something that actually helps designers in their daily workflow — not just another gimmick.I’d love to hear from you:👉 What plugin do you wish existed but doesn’t right now?👉 Or, what’s something in Figma that feels repetitive, time-consuming, or frustrating that a plugin could solve?To keep things organized, I’ve made a short Google Form where you can share your idea (and the reason why you think it’s useful):🔗 https://forms.gle/6iPrFsorPpmE1tRy6Your input will directly guide what I build next. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🙌
