I want to remove the Edu plan of my account so that my friends (which aren’t students) can access the figma file :( I dont know how to send a ticket so I come here for help :(( 

I recently upgraded my laptop to an NVIDIA 5070 (8GB model), hoping to resolve the performance issues I had with my old 3060 (4GB), which I assumed was struggling to handle Figma.Unfortunately, the upgrade hasn’t helped yet. I’ve tried enabling the High Performance GPU option for Figma in both Windows and NVIDIA settings, and I’ve explored almost every solution I could find online. At this point, I’m starting to think the issue is Figma itself.Figma has never felt like a truly smooth experience for me; there is always a choppy feeling to the app, like a bit of a "Frankenstein’s Monster." Recently, however, that drag has felt even more intense. To see what I mean, try changing colors using the color picker in the Variables panel or running a Smart Animate transition with a large dataset.Can someone please tell me if I’m missing something? Is there a hidden "magical switch" in the

OverviewI’m trying to build a menu item component and reduce the number of variants through the use of nested components, but I’ve run into an issue.Within the set, I have two variants which are both selectable, so I’ve created a ‘isSelectable = true / false’ prop, and an ‘isSelected = true / false’ prop. In a bid to reduce variants, I then created two nested components where the choice over style would be made:Default (by default placed within the component):‘isSelected = false’ - no visual ‘isSelected = true’ - tick iconCheckbox:‘isSelected = false’ - unselected checkbox ‘isSelected = true’ - selected checkboxProblemThe problem is, that when I override the nested component to use the checkbox variant instead of the default, when prototyping, and transitioning from ‘isSelected = true / false’ it will revert back to default nested component variant rather

Hi everyone I’m designing a car listing website in Figma and my file now has too many pages (categories, filters, brands, price ranges, sliders, etc.)It’s becoming hard to manage and maintain.Is there a better professional way to reduce pagesWhat’s the best practice for large-scale projects to keep the file clean and manageable?Any suggestions or examples would really helpful

Hi, I’m wondering if the view console button for the Figma Make browser moved or if it’s just gone? I appreciate the recent change that shows an address bar so I can go to specific pages, but I’d love for the console view button to come back. It seems like now I have to wait for a bug to happen and click “Fix for me” to get the console to appear? I’d like to toggle it on manually like we could before.

Please searDue to my mistake, I increased the number of seats in Figma, I want to reduce it, I only need 10 seats, now it has increased to 17 seats, my annual fee will be updated tomorrow, can anyone tell me How to deal withch for existing topics before posting!

Hi, I submitted my Figma plugin "Flaude" for community review over a week ago and it's still showing as under review. I haven't received any feedback or status updates. Could you let me know: 1. What the typical review timeline is for new plugins? 2. Whether there's anything I need to fix or update on my submission? Happy to provide any additional information needed to move the review forward.Thanks!

Hi everyone,I'm working on a Figma plugin that currently reads components present in the local file using the plugin API. This works fine for what's already placed on the canvas.However, my use case requires access to the full catalog of published components from team/org libraries — including components that haven't been used or instantiated in the current file. I have view-only access to these library files.From what I've found so far:figma.root.findAll() only returns nodes in the current file figma.teamLibrary.getAvailableLibraryComponentsAsync() was promising, but it only returns components that are already enabled/used — not the complete library There doesn't seem to be a way to enumerate all published components from an external library file within the plugin sandboxThe only working approach I've found is setting up a backend server that calls the Figma REST API (/v1/files/{key}/com

Hi, I used to be able to move objects by 10 pixels in any direction while holding the measure to selection button (option or Alt + Shift and move). But now when I do this, the object does not move anymore, but it shows measurements to objects which are further away. Did I activate this by accident? I want to be able to move 10 pixels while measuring.

I can’t figure out how to change the layout of an existing slide in Figma Slides. When creating a new slide, I can choose a layout from the theme, but once the slide is added, I can’t find a way to switch it to a different layout.Am I missing something? Often, I realize later that a different layout would work better and want to apply one of the theme’s template layouts to an existing slide—but I don’t see an option to do that. The only option I can find is “Template Style,” which seems to change only text styles and colors, not the layout itself.Is there a way to reapply or change slide layouts after a slide has been created?

Hi community friends, is there a way to use Figma Make to generate iOS settings views based on either a sample Figma file with existing settings patterns, or an existing design system? My hope is to be able to either write down a list of settings labels and names in a text only format in the prompt box (Markdown, comma separated list, or anything like that), and have it pull together all the correct components for list cells, text labels, inputs, and controls based on a reference file. Thanks.

Hello! Is it possible to share a link to a file in FigJam that is available for editing to those who don’t have an account in Figma? We would like to use the FigJam file in a group brainstorming session for knowledge sharing, and some users told us they are asked to login and create an account first. Thank you in advance! 

This has been going for couple of years (I think) and looks sooo fckd up. Like, I often have same elements containing same interactions, on the same z-level and yet some always get their connections hidden unless I specifically select them. Slows me down quite a lot at times.Does anyone have this bug? And if it's not a bug (I can't even tell these days), what’s the logic behind the feature?Here’s the video of the issue

What is the timeline for adding a parent/child page structure to URLs within Figma Sites?For example:website.com/city/thursday-nights/concert-series/band-name/Right now, the product supports one slug deep. Obviously “flat silo” URLs can work, but we need to be able to nest URLs as child pages. What is the roadmap and timeline for rolling out dedicated URL structure?

Hi,i want to test my prototype and the users have to start in XL view and then switch to s view. So they start on their laptop and switch to an app after a while. After accomplishing the task in s view i want the “browser view” to change to an success page also. I tried using a variable but it´s not working. Can someone help? 

Hi everyone! This isn't the first time I've run into this problem: I'm making an animation, but the flow doesn't appear. Can you tell me what's going on? This happens with both component sets and frames with the same name. There's no way to manually create a starting point.

Hi - i have a beautiful report I put together using Figma Make. Is there a way to get it to be exportable to PDF or at least print? If so, how?

Is that possible to generate an Entity Relationship Diagram from a Figma prototype I've created?

Hello! I have a monthly FULL professional subscription to Figma, and we are working on a project where I am the owner with a full position, another person has a full position, and another has a Dev position. Since I am hardly editing the project, I switched to the ‘view’ position, and today the Dev told me that she has not been able to access the project. Is that why I changed my position? Does the fact that I am the project owner affect my change of role? 

I can’t find position frame auto layout , like in here https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/articles/26584819173271-Layers-101-Get-started-with-layersLayer propertiesEvery layer will have properties associated with it. A layer's properties give us basic information about the layer, like it X and Y coordinates, or position on the canvas, or its dimensions like width and height.Other properties control how the layer looks, like what color it is, whether it has a border (called stroke in Figma), or if it has any effects, like a drop shadow or blur.You'll find most of these properties in the right sidebar. Which properties you can see will depend on the type of layer you have selected. 

I tried making a dj app like the site https://feast-click-76474819.figma.site but I ran out of creditand I don't want to pay

Hello,I would like to clarify something specific about Figma AI capabilities.I am not looking to generate a full webpage, section layout, or UI wireframe.What I need to know is whether Figma AI can generate a single standalone marketing-style graphic element — for example, one isolated SaaS-style product illustration — that can be exported as an individual visual asset.More specifically: A single dark-themed SaaS-style UI graphic With layered UI cards, glow effects, soft shadows, and depth Using specific brand colors (#F36F21 and #1A1A1A) Exportable as a standalone PNG or SVG Ideally with a fully transparent background This graphic would be used as a visual element inside a website section — not as a full layout.Could you please confirm: Can Figma AI generate a single standalone marketing graphic l
