With more designers using local AI for UI copy, UX writing, design documentation, accessibility reviews, brainstorming, and coding assistance, choosing the right hardware has become increasingly important.One of the biggest questions is how much RAM is actually needed for a smooth workflow while running Figma and local AI tools at the same time.Here's a quick overview based on different workloads:16GB RAM – Great for basic UI/UX tasks, AI writing, small language models, and everyday design work. 32GB RAM – The ideal choice for most designers. It allows comfortable multitasking between Figma, browsers, design systems, and local AI applications. 64GB RAM or more – Best suited for professionals working with large AI models, multiple creative applications, or advanced AI workflows.It's also important to understand the difference between system RAM and GPU VRAM. While VRAM helps accelerate AI tasks on a graphics card, having enough system RAM is essential for keeping both Figma and AI appli

I paid someone to design my website, www. balinadurrmd.com, which is incomplete. The designer is listed as the owner, and I can only view it. I had been granted edit privileges, but that’s no longer the case. I need ownership of my website and access to make edits, and if I can’t gain control over my website. If there’s no resolution, what’s my option to release to my domain name from this website in order to create a new one? 

Hi, I can’t connect Figma MCP with Claude CLI, this is what I see in terminal: Details when I select Figma: Reconnecting gives me this error “Failed to reconnect to figma: HTTP 405 at https://mcp.figma.com/mcp”: In Claude Code connectors Figma is connected (not sure if it matters for CLI): Desktop server in Figma (not sure if it matters as it’s the desktop server): What I was able to achieve is to do this:  Anyway, I’m lost if someone could advise, it will be great.I’m not an engineer obviously and all I want is to use Claude CLI with Figma so it can edit Figma files. Cheers​​​​

Hello everybody,Using figma slide for presentation since couple of months, I just realise that figma slide is darkening the videos (of like 1 stop). Is there any way to fix / prevent this behaviour?Thanks a lot !

I've been trying the new Figma AI Agent, but I can't figure out how to undo the changes it makes.Regular Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Z doesn't seem to work for the AI-generated edits. Is there an undo/history specifically for AI Agent actions? How can I selectively revert some of the changes while keeping the rest? What's the recommended workflow if the agent makes a mix of good and bad edits? Would love to know how others are handling this.

Why has my Figma desktop app suddenly stopped working over the past week? I opened the app one morning and to my surprise, the files kept on loading and loading. Even Figma home doesn’t load. Not a single file is loading and once I shift to Figma home, I am unable to shift back to my files. Attaching screenshots for reference. It works on the browser but the app isn’t functioning at all. Please help.

So in radian os there are 18 colors, it is a global design system, but if we had to make a variant for each color, lets say, for Front icon, flag, dot indicator, avatar, trail icon, cross, and so and so..there would be, 18colors * 3 sizes * 4 variants * 6 different badges = 1296 badgesI’ve seen in the figma keynote, that pulling just one instance will also pull all other in the component set, so should i make 1296 badges?or do the way i just did here, 3 bases, with each colored icons, avatars and more (the icon library & avatar library are all ready)does it also pull, the main components * base component ?(and i know the picture doesn’t show country flag, but it will be there in future)

Just been playing around with the new Motion feature and it looks pretty good for a beta - however I can’t quite understand how to use Motion for animating states on a component ie. hovers etc.I want an arrow on a button to move when I hover over the button. This currently doesn’t seem possible without using the old school prototype function instead. I would like to use Motion rather so that my developers can export out the relevant motion properties.  If I put the animation on the default component variant then the animation plays regardless.. If I put it on the hover variant then it’s all jumpy due to the prototype tool trying to animate it as well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  Help?  

I just opened the file I edited last night in Figma and found that it was mysteriously deleted or moved. Could I ask the staff to help me retrieve the file? Here is the link to my file. It's really an important file. Please help me get it back!https://www.figma.com/design/3ujhuyYU0689tCxeSMe2YP/Untitled?node-id=0-1&t=5vAOSGvpks4qruLx-0(Screenshots redacted by the moderator due to PII)

Hi everyone,I’m running into an issue with the new Figma UI released around July 2026.In the desktop app / new UI, I’m trying to link a layer’s visibility to a Boolean component property inside a component, the same way we used to do before.The problem is that when I select the layer and go to Appearance, I don’t see any option to bind the visibility to a component property anymore.The only option I get is “Apply variable…”, which lets me link the visibility to a document variable, but not to a component property.I created the Boolean property on the parent component correctly, and I tested different cases: selecting a layer, a group, a nested instance, etc. Nothing appears in the new UI.However, when I switched to the web version, which still seems to use the old UI, I was able to do it without any issue.So my question is:Has anyone found where this option moved in the new UI? Or is this currently broken / removed from the desktop app?I’ve attached screenshots showing the difference b

Hi everyone,I’m working on a very specific requirement for an LCD screen prototype and I’m running into an issue with Figma exports.Here’s the context:I have frames sized 100 × 42 pixels. The goal is to export this frame pixel-perfect, because it will be displayed on a physical LCD screen of this resolution (not sure about the DPI but does it matter). It is meant to be a display test, all screens will be then coded on a framework for HMIs called emWIN, but we need to make sure the designs fit first.) The LCD only supports pure black or pure white pixels (no grayscale, no anti-aliasing). Every time I export from Figma (PNG or JPEG), the image gets blurred or anti-aliased, introducing grayscale pixels and round corners instead of sharp black and white. SVG is not an option because the final format must be flat rasterized pixels, not vector.Here are screenshots of my frames:Here is how they are exported by Figma in pngs: When magnified, we can clearly see this is blurred: The problem is t

Hey all,I’ve been diving into Figma Motion recently and wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same friction with timeline animations.Whenever I animate Position, Scale, or Appearance (like Opacity) from A to B, and then later to C, the plugin automatically applies continuous interpolation. It completely skips waiting at point B and just smoothly transitions through the whole timeline.My current workaround: I've been forcing a "hold" by dropping two identical keyframes side-by-side to trap the value and make it pause.My questions for the community: Who else has noticed this default behavior? Is there a cleaner fix, like a shortcut to toggle interpolation to "Step" or "Hold"? Thanks in advance for any tips!

Hi,I currently have two Figma accounts:My personal account, where I have all of my projects. A second account using my university email, which has the Figma Education plan.I'd like to use the Education benefits on my personal account instead.Is there any way to transfer my Education status to my personal account?Also, if transferring isn't possible, can I change the email address on my Education account to my personal email and then apply for Figma Education again using my university email without any issues? Or would I permanently lose my Education benefits?What would be the recommended approach in this situation?Thanks!

I'm currently designing an educational page in Figma focused on helping teens understand a simple skincare routine for acne-prone skin. The challenge has been presenting health-related information in a way that feels approachable, easy to scan, and visually engaging for younger audiences.Some of the design goals include:Creating a clear visual hierarchy for long-form educational content. Making skincare steps easy to understand at a glance. Using icons and illustrations to support comprehension. Improving readability on both desktop and mobile devices. Balancing informative content with a clean, modern interface.I'm interested in hearing how other designers approach content-heavy layouts. Specifically:What techniques do you use to improve scannability? How do you prevent information overload on educational pages? What accessibility considerations are most important for content aimed at younger users? How would you structure a step-by-step guide to maximize engagement and retention?Any

Native Dev Mode annotations are valuable sources of context that get lost for anything using the MCP. Measurements and props, too, although I don’t think that’s nearly as important. My response from Github Copilot:This is a limitation of the Figma MCP server that powers my Figma tools — it currently exposes the layer/node tree but not the annotations or comments API endpoints.

Figma Config 2026 introduced the new feature that lets you generate your own plugins. In one of the demo videos, there's an example where images are arranged in an ellipse.I've been trying to recreate that layout using the generated plugin, but I haven't been able to get close, even after experimenting with different prompts and plugin settings.Has anyone managed to recreate this effect? If so, could you share the prompts or instructions you gave the agent to generate a plugin that produces this kind of image arrangement? Any tips would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve been looking for ways to make my design workflow more efficient, especially when it comes to writing UI copy, documenting design decisions, and organizing project notes.Lately, I’ve been experimenting with an AI writing and productivity tool called Lekhai. Instead of generating complete designs, I mainly use it to help with tasks like:Writing UX copy and microcopy Summarizing design discussions Organizing feature requirements Drafting design documentation Brainstorming content for interfacesThe biggest benefit so far has been spending less time switching between different apps and more time focusing on the actual design work.I'm interested in learning how other Figma users approach this.Do you use AI for UX writing or design documentation? Which parts of your workflow have you automated or streamlined? Do you prefer Figma plugins or standalone AI tools? What has made the biggest difference in your team's productivity?I'd love to hear about the tools and workflows that have worked

Hi Figma community – I watched several of the online Config 2026 sessions and was really excited about the new features and product direction.I’d love to share a few of the session videos with my team! I’ve noticed some recordings are starting to appear, but I’m wondering if there’s an expected timeline for when the full set of Config 2026 session videos will be published to the official Figma YouTube channel or collected into a playlist.Does anyone know if Figma has shared a timeline for the recordings?Thanks, and huge kudos to the Figma team. There was a lot from Config this year to be excited about! 😀

Hi, I’m using the brush option for my stroke and it looks basically perfect minus one point where the stroke tapers.  I’m using the brush “blockbuster” and have the uniform width profile, which I thought would make it uniform all around but you can see the top right corner is not quite flush in width. Is there any workaround to this? 

With components, I very often have to clean up layers by ungrouping unnecessary groups that only have one child. imagine you have a styled box inside your main component wrapper, but the main component wrapper itself could have just carried the styling, thus saving 1 unnecessary layer. So I have to transfer the styling and autolayout (basically all properties) from the box to the outermost layer. This used to work justs by copy and pasting properties. But now it seems that Autolayout properties do not get copied anymore. Does anyone have some kind of plugin or other solution for this?
