When I try to upload a .ts file to Figma Make, I get the error message "Some file types cannot be uploaded," which links to this FAQ: https://help.figma.com/hc/ja/articles/31722591905559-Figma-Make%E3%81%AB%E9%96%A2%E3%81%99%E3%82%8BFAQJSON files upload fine, and when I check my network settings, it says I can reach all the domains required for Figma to run.Does anyone know how to fix this?

I don’t want to renew this subscription.I request refund. Thank you

Good afternoon. I created a component with a drop-down list. The component itself is working correctly, but when transferred to the screen, the list opens up. How can I fix this, please tell me?

While exploring Figma, I noticed what appears to be a behavior where items inside an Auto Layout frame can be freely dragged and positioned anywhere within the frame while still remaining part of the Auto Layout. This seems like a useful feature, but I'm not able to use it in my own files.Could you please let me know if this is an available feature? If so, I would appreciate it if you could explain how to enable and use it. If it's only available under certain conditions, settings, or in a specific version of Figma, I'd be grateful for any guidance.  

AI has become a regular part of my design workflow, but I've found that different tools are useful at different stages of a project rather than trying to do everything in one place.For example:ChatGPT for brainstorming user flows, UX copy, and content ideas. Perplexity for quickly researching competitors or design patterns. GitHub Copilot when I'm working closely with developers or reviewing front-end code. Figma AI for speeding up repetitive design tasks inside Figma.Recently, I've also been looking at local AI tools instead of relying only on cloud-based services. One example is LekhAI, which focuses on running AI models locally. While it's not a replacement for Figma, I can see potential use cases like generating early design concepts, organizing ideas, or experimenting with AI without sending everything to a cloud service. Privacy and offline access could be useful for teams working with sensitive projects.That said, I don't think there's a single AI tool that fits every designer.

Hello,I accidentally purchased the Professional Annual Plan ($192) instead of the monthly plan today.I contacted Figma Support immediately after the purchase and received a support ticket confirmation email.I have not used Figma at all since the purchase because I'm waiting for the support team's response.I understand that refund requests are reviewed individually, but I was wondering how long it usually takes to receive a reply from Figma Support.If anyone has had a similar experience, I'd really appreciate hearing how long it took for you to get a response.Thank you!

Dear support team,How can I create a graphic in this format using Figma's AI? I have product images and descriptions, but how can AI help me generate such images? Currently, I haven't seen similar tutorials on other platforms (like red from Chinese social platform), and I'm unsure if purchasing Figma's AI/advanced version is worth it. So, I'd like to consult you first. Or, could you provide a trial version for a few days? 

Hi everyone!We are new to Figma using Styles and we don’t know really well how they work. Is there any way we can save (import/export) text and color styles as a library? Something like Photoshop has?Are text and color styles stored in each of the Figma Files? So if we want to copy some styles, we need to duplicate the Figma file that has those styles and start from there?  Thanks a lot!!  

I hope I’m phrasing my question correctly. How do I reset a button to it's default instance in the preview? I want it to go to it's default instance by clicking outside it, but I don't know how to do it. Like when you click a search bar & the cursor blinks & the bar stays highlighted until you click anywhere else beside it. Any suggestions would be very helpful, thank you.

Hello, good morningI had a file in my Figma account and unfortunately the email account I used to have that account was deleted. I got that account back but my design project is no longer available.Has that project been returned? I also submitted a ticket but I haven't received a response.I would appreciate your advice

I’m trying to understand the current plugin monetization requirements for Figma Community.I have two questions:The documentation says that paid resources can only be published by “individual creators”.Does this mean that in the final publishing step under Author (Share as), only Individual creator can be selected, and Team  cannot be used for paid plugins?If a plugin has already been published under a Team, can the publishing author later be changed to an Individual creator to enable monetization?The documentation also mentions that creators must be “approved to sell on Community”.How is this approval obtained currently?Is there an application form, waitlist, onboarding process, or is it enabled automatically for eligible creators?

I am currently trying to follow along with a presentation and trying to present my prototype, but when I do I only get a device with a blank screen. If I click somewhere it’ll show me what I can click highlighted in blue on the phone screen, but it just remains black. I have my fill at 100% opacity and it is white.This is what it looks like if I have no device selected. With a device selected it looks like this. If I click anywhere in the presentation screen it’ll highlight blue where the buy and sell buttons are located in the last picture, but won’t display anything. Any assistance would be much appreciated.

Hi everyone,I’m conducting research on how teams maintain and evaluate their design systems, and how AI-assisted workflows may change what teams expect from their Figma libraries.I’m particularly interested in understanding:how teams currently identify structural issues; which problems create the most friction in practice; whether naming, variants, variables, documentation, and library organization become more important when AI tools use the system; what language teams naturally use to describe this topic; whether a structured audit could be useful.I’m looking for responses from:Design System designers and leads; Product Designers maintaining Figma libraries; DesignOps practitioners; front-end engineers working with Design Systems.The survey takes around 10 minutes.English survey: https://forms.gle/hKBZmE3oyfJwyA1fAQuestionnaire en français : https://forms.gle/fvw1DGw3QGuTXvy26I’d be very grateful for your perspective. Feel free to share the survey with someone who works directly on a

Is it possible to have a Figma prototype run on more than one screen at a time? For example, a three monitor set up where the central monitor can trigger files/windows to be open on the screens on either side?

I used Generate in Figma Weave with Kling AI Avatar. The interface showed progress and the run finished, but no image, card, file, or notification appeared.I checked the canvas, History, recent generations, project files, and assets. The History entry was completely blank.My runs are marked “succeeded,” but there was no visible output, and credits were deducted.I would like help reviewing the missing output and the credit deduction.

Hi everyone,I have a few questions about Figma Motion.Is it not possible to use curved position paths in Figma Motion?As far as I can tell, there does not seem to be a way to adjust a position path with Bezier handles or a similar path-editing method, beyond using position keyframes.The only workaround I found was to overlap movement keyframes with position animation to create a curved motion, but this feels inconvenient and limited in terms of customization.Apologies if I simply missed the feature.Is it possible to animate variant changes?It would be very useful if there were a way to change variants using something like hold keyframes.I also looked into whether variables could be used for this, but at least in my case, I could not find a way to make it work.In prototyping, is there a way to make a Motion animation play only on a specific action, such as click or hover?I wanted to create an animation where an overlay appears on click, but when the overlay opens, I cannot reset the pla

I wish there was a way that a layer (whether it is a frame, group, shape, component or text) to follow a set path (and that you can offset the X and/or Y), so things like this are possible to make: 

Hi Figma team, I'd like to apply to become an approved seller to publish a paid plugin on Figma Community using Figma's native payment system. The plugin is an accessibility audit tool: it scans a design file against WCAG 2.2 / EN 301 549 criteria and generates a client-ready report (UI + PDF export). Planned model: freemium — free tier stays fully functional, full report and PDF export behind a subscription paywall via the Payments API. I plan to publish the free version first and add the paywall once approved. Account details: individual account, based in Canada (supported payout country). Could you let me know the steps to get approved? Happy to provide any additional information. Thanks!

Hi!I’ve been tasked with making about 96 lego faces,i already have pre made assets (5 eyes,3 mouths,2 brows,4 beards)is there’s any way to automate complining those parts in one face ? so i won’t need to do every single face by hand ?

I’ve submitted my plugin and it seems to be taking longer than expected.I’m trying to get a sense of the average time it takes to get approved.Would appreciate any recent experiences. Thanks.

I'm trying to make my design responsive, but I'm running into an issue. When I preview it in Responsive Present mode, there's a large blank space appearing between some of my frames. However, when I preview it in the normal Present mode (without responsiveness), everything looks exactly the same as it does on the canvas. I'm not sure what's causing the extra blank space in the responsive preview.pls help!! thank you in advance!

In my prototype, the frame has Vertical scrolling. Header and Bottom Navigation are fixed. The header stays visible but the fixed Bottom Navigation disappears completely. If I disable 'Fix position when scrolling', the Bottom Navigation appears normally. A simple test in a new frame works. Why does this happen?

Arrow key auto-plays videos instead of just navigating pages — anyone else?Hey all, I know this has come up before on here, but I noticed it's been quiet for a while so figured I'd bring it back up because it's such an annoying glitch.I just finished designing my portfolio in Figma, with multiple videos on each page (some autoplay silently, others need a click to play and have sound).When presenting, the arrow key doesn't just move to the next page like you'd expect  - it also plays whatever videos are on the current page. So I end up with multiple videos playing with sound before I've even moved on.Has anyone found a workaround? I can't really share my portfolio like this… seems like such a basic thing to still be broken. Would love to know if Figma's aware of it or if there's a fix in the works. Thanks

what is the correct way to manage easing and time variables in the design system? On config they introduced it as 3 modes: Expressive, Smooth and standard and the name column showed the parameters of easing and timing. I think it should be in groups such as enter and exit; and if so, what should be their parameters? thanks! 

I have a design system with all my variables and aliases in my Light Mode. Sometimes I encounter situations where an entire component needs to be the ‘success’ colors or the ‘error’ colors. I don’t want to create a new ‘success’ mode just for modal headers and alerts but I also don't want to create a large set of variables when all that changes are the color themes. Does anyone know any way to do this easily? How are we solving for it?
