Hi all. So my org has a pretty big requirement for presentations and lately we’ve switched everything to figma slides.Now what we wanted to do was mas the public URL of figma slides (the presentation) with our own organizations URL but it seems that there is some sameOrigin error that prevents this from happens and thus prompts the login screen on load. I’m not sure how to fix it and my dev team has also tried most options. Technically the public URL link should be accessible regardless of where it is hosted right or what URL is it masked under. I’m essentially trying to do the below thing:   If I load just the public link that I got from figma slides as it is in incognito (or a browser where I dont have figma logged in) - then the link loads fineBut as soon as I mask it in my own URL, the public link I got from figma slides starts asking for login. (additionally, if I allow cookies on the browser, then the login screen disappears) I’ve also tried using the public iframe link that figm

Hello everyone,My family is considering hiring a Family Office Support Service in India to streamline our financial and legacy planning. However, with so many options available, I’m unsure how to choose the right one.Could anyone share tips or criteria for selecting a family office? For example: What key services should a good family office provide? How important is their understanding of Indian tax and regulatory laws? Should I prioritize local expertise or global capabilities if we have international assets? Additionally, if you’ve had a positive experience with a specific provider, please share your recommendations.Looking forward to your advice![Arman Greves Group]

Hey everyone! I’m currently using an old email for my Figma account, but it’s different from the one I use daily. If I change my email, will it affect my access to files/workspaces and teams I’ve been invited to? Do the owners need to invite me again?Thanks in advance!

When copying a section, I want it to be copied downwards rather than sideways

So I have a component with a lot of nested hidden components within it. Is there a way to see the list of color tokens being used in the component all at once without having to expose those nested components in the master component?

When I use the new Position Sticky feature in Prototyping, the frame that sticks to the top always sits below the frames that scroll. This doesn’t make sense because the point of sticking a frame is so that it sits on top of all scrolling content. Do I have to re-order the layers somehow? Do I have to check an extra box to make the frame sit on top of all others? Thank you

Hi, i am not sure when this issue first started but here it goes. I have 2 variants, desktop (1440px) and mobile.(375px). Both of them are fixed width.When i put the desktop variant into an autolayout frame, the instance became Fill width. So when i change the instance variant to mobile, because it is now Fill, it stretched to the whole frame. Please see the video below for the issue.Hope to get a response! 

Hi everyone, I’ve noticed some changes in Figma’s UI recently (possibly after the latest update), and I wanted to check if others are experiencing the same: Dragging to Adjust Input Fields I used to be able to click and drag on fields like “X”, “Y”, “Blur”, etc., to increase or decrease their values interactively. Now, it seems that functionality is gone—I can only type values manually or use the arrow keys. Is this an intentional change, or a bug? Middle Mouse Scrolling Additionally, I can’t scroll the canvas using the middle mouse button anymore. It was a super handy feature for navigating around quickly. Has anyone else encountered these issues? Are there workarounds, or is this a confirmed change in Figma’s behavior? I’m using Desktop App on Windows if that helps. Thanks in advance!

Hi!Really hope someone can help me. I’m using Figma Simple Design System, specifically the component  Select Field under Inputs. Does anyone know how to add more items to the drop down list? I can’t seem to find any settings for amount of items and when I try to copy and paste an item it ends up outside the instance. There must be a way of doing this that I’m missing? Thankful for some help!Jonna

Hey everyone. I’m try to link the frame to another frame but my prototype is not working by not showing a plus sign in order to link to another frame

Hi. I’m new to Figma. I just turned an image into a vector using image tracer. The problem is that its one uniform color and I want to color separate parts differently. How do I do that?

Hi everyone!I’m working on website campaigns where I create multiple assets. In the mockups, CTA buttons and text are placed on top of the images, but for export, I need two versions:One with the CTA and text One without them for the final assetRight now, I’ve set up components for the text and buttons, so I can hide them in the main component. However, since we’re working with many different formats, manually toggling visibility for each export is still time-consuming.Is there a more efficient way to handle this in Figma? Ideally, a way to quickly switch between both versions across all formats before exporting?Would love to hear your suggestions—thanks in advance! 🙌

Hello! Please help. Figma does not start. When starting, an error message appears: “Failed to fetch font list. Your network settings may need updating.”

When I Align horizontal centers + Align vertical centers 2 shapes together it is not centered at all. Is there something I can do to solve it ? I just started on Figma so I could miss something in the settings…Thank you to take time to reply. Regards.

We're encountering a challenge with accessing the context menu (right-click or control-click options) in the browser version of Figma on a Mac.Specifics:The context menu appears correctly in the Figma desktop app. It also functions as expected in other web browsing scenarios. However, when using Figma in a browser (e.g., Chrome, Safari), the context menu fails to appear.Question:Is this the intended behavior for the Figma browser version?If not, are there any settings or adjustments we can make to enable the context menu in the browser?

The height and width of the components designed on Figma( obviously choosing the whole number from the options Figma itself gives us) is seen to be changed to decimal numbers without our intervention on it. For example - we design a text using the font weight as 16pixels and we come back to see it changed as 16.89. Not sure why this is happening. and this is not only for the text fields but for all the components designed.

I’m currently trying to architect an approach on the best way to set up and maintain libraries. Current Structure: A single file for styles: DS Styles A few designers Rest of the population are viewers Updates are made to the live DS Styles file Version History has milestones set for tacking What I think would work better is to leverage the recommended use of Version History (Figma’s Recommendations) but I’m concerned with a few items. If we make milestones and duplicate each of the milestones - we’ll have individual files, each with its own library. I see this becoming a lot to manage and confusing for users. Is there a better to separate out WIP & Live files for libraries or to have Versions of Libraries?

Just curious if figma plugin is able to execute a wasm file ? if so can anyone provide links ? Thanks

Basically trying to recreate iMessage’s text input field, where:the text box grows upward as the user inputs more text; the text itself stays center aligned vertically in the text box; the send button is anchored at the bottom while the text box grows.I’ve figured out the text box growing upwards, but can’t keep the text from also being bottom aligned when the send button is bottom-aligned.

Whenever I hover on Blog Menu, the directory turns from pink to blue. I can’t find the reason when each of the menus have the same prototype/instances and they don’t have any problem when it’s open in other menu pages. Can anyone help me? What I do is create variants for hover and the texts will get bold and underlined. Then add prototype hover > change to variant 2-6 for each buttonI then create an instance, put it on a page and make it pink with underline for the directory page. Here’s how it looks when open in another menu. It works fine and stay pink when hovering on other menus. when hovered:I doubled checked the menus and I seem to have trouble with the Blogs page too. The Blog turns pink when I hover on About.

I'm experiencing the strangest issue… If anyone can help!I usually work with .SVG images, but today, for the first time, I noticed that all SVGs suddenly have a black background appearing in the design. However, when I use Present or Preview mode, everything looks fine.But when I export the design as .PNG or .JPG, the black background appears. If I export it as .SVG, it looks normal.Could the issue be related to my laptop's GPU, the images themselves, or Figma? Where is the problem coming from?I've tried multiple solutions, but nothing seems to work. Does anyone have a fix for this? 🤔   4o

Hi everyone,I'm developing a Figma plugin that clones a bar chart component and updates each bar's label dynamically. However, I'm facing two main issues:"table index is out of bounds" error (WebAssembly crash) when modifying cloned instances. Font loading issues when setting .characters on text nodes inside each bar.How My Plugin WorksThe user selects a chart component (which contains multiple "Bar Elements"). The plugin clones the selected instance and adjusts bar heights. Each "Bar Element" contains a label text node inside a "Label Frame". I need to load the font before modifying the label text.  What I’ve Tried So FarChecked if nodes exist before modifying them. Ensured figma.loadFontAsync() runs before updating .characters. Wrapped barElement.clone() in try...catch to prevent crashes. Checked fontName before calling loadFontAsync(). Tried moving figma.loadFontAsync() outside the for loop to load it once before modifying text.Despite these fixes, I still get "table index is out of

Has anybody successfully used Figma to create animated PDFs? Could be with or without plugins. I’m specifically trying to just change a background gradient to create a shine effect that autoplays once or on loop, but any animation would be nice. Animations are generally possible in PDFs, but there’s not a lot of software to create them.

Background: In the design system I’m working on, I’m aiming for a seamless consistency between Figma and the Browser.Has anyone already created a table of CSS values for Noto Sans that aligns Figma designs with rendering in Microsoft browsers (like Edge)?I’m looking to match line heights and letter spacings as closely as possible and would greatly appreciate if I could see your mappings or get any tips on achieving consistent rendering. Already did it for <p> 16px, as you can see. Figma Element Figma Font-Size Figma Line-Height Figma Letter-Spacing CSS Font-Size CSS Line-Height CSS Letter-Spacing Body Text 16px Auto 0 16px 1.47rem 0.45px H1 ... ... ... ... ... ...
