Hello Figma Community, As designers, we often encounter scenarios where low-resolution assets or outdated visuals need enhancement to fit into modern design projects. AI tools like Remini have emerged as a solution for transforming such assets into high-quality visuals. While Remini is primarily a mobile app, it can also be used on PCs, offering designers the flexibility to work on larger screens and integrate it into their workflows. If you’re interested in exploring this tool, here’s a detailed guide on how to use it on your PC: Remini for PC - Download Latest for Windows 2024. How do you currently handle image enhancement or restoration for your design projects? Have you tried integrating AI tools into your workflow alongside Figma? Let’s discuss the potential of combining such tools with design platforms for better results! Looking forward to your insights!

Hi everyone, I’m facing an issue with a Figma component: I updated the logo in the component library [the app bar], but this caused the title in all instances to reset to the default value (“Title”). The title and logo are separate layers, and I didn’t make any changes to the title in the library. There are more than 2,000 instances, so fixing them manually isn’t an option. Why is the title resetting when I only updated the logo? Thanks in advance.

Since I upgraded to the new updated app this morning, the desktop app on windows 10 cannot change size or drag the app on the screen, it is set on a fix size and no way to drag the app on the screen

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on a project that involves integrating multimedia elements, like videos, into Figma prototypes. While the design side of things is straightforward, I’m having trouble managing larger video files and keeping the prototypes responsive and smooth. Are there any best practices for handling videos in Figma? For example, is it better to compress the videos beforehand, or are there specific tools or workflows that work well for multimedia-heavy projects? I’d really appreciate any tips or advice based on your experience!

Hi! I created a few components and their child to use in prototyping. Although I do see the frame is part of my component, when i try to prototype Figma returns a message that “A prototype needs at least one frame”. What am I doing wrong? https://www.figma.com/design/m5mUQ40EIXGKiQCfObSAVi/New-Trial-Design?node-id=78-44&t=Au9Sj5x2Pii4Howr-1

I found if I use a scale factor like 1.4x, 1.5x, the output image, will have one line of white pixel in on the right or bottom. When I switch to 2x, it works fine again.

Hi all, I’m wanting to create a gradient from colors that are in my local library. As shown in the following image, if I have something selected I can select “Fill” and chose a color option from my local library. This is done by pressing the color preview (the color sample next to the RGB input field). However when I apply a linear gradient and select a stop, then press the color sample for the stop (as shown in the next picture), I cannot choose a color from my local library. Why not? Thanks!

I have a rectangle with an outside stroke and an inner shadow. Given the stroke is set to Outside, I’d expect the inner shadow to appear inside. But the inner stroke seems to start where the outer stroke starts. When toggling off the outer stroke, the inner shadow appears as I’d expect it to. What am I misunderstanding about this – or is this a bug?

My educational account has expired, and my files are now in view-only mode. Is it safe to leave them there for storage? I plan to use my free account for editing and designing, but copying everything over would be too much. Is there any risk of losing access to view or copy my files in the future?

I had the Figma ai beta yesterday , now it’s gone how to resolve this bug?

I create component, then I click on component and on the right side bar I cant’ see LAYER section… why?

Hello family, while working on a project i accidentally clicked something and these thick but faint lines appeared across my frames. I am new to Figma and i’m not sure how to remove them. anyone to kindly help?

How can I prevent ghost variables? It is still a mystery to me how some of my components became homes for ghosts. For example, I haven’t touched checkbox since I added the variables in the first place, and today I learned that the variables weren’t updating with everything else… not sure why!! So many questions about ghosts… If I change the name of a variable, will that create a ghost or will it overwrite? If I delete a variable, publish (creating a ghost), but then re-add a variable with the same name will it be reconnected or will it still be a ghost? If I detach a component, will the variables still be connected to the library and get updated or will they turn into ghosts? If I rename a component, will the variables used in it become ghosts? If I move a component to another page, frame, or section in the library will it cause ghost variables? If a designer in a worker file overwrites a variable, will that variable update with the library or will become a ghost? How can I make sure t

Hi there, We have a team library with components, and other project files using instances of these components. When publishing changes to the master component in the source file (library) we stopped receiving the “Review and accept library updates” notification in other project files and obviously component instances were not updating. Yesterday (17.01.2023), this notification was appearing but the changes were still not applied in component instances in other files. This is an important issue, as all our work relies on the libraries working properly. Urgent help would be appreciated. Thanks. UPDATE: I tried solution #3 from this thread and it is still not working.

Hi guys! Something happened to my Figma yesterday and it doesn’t seem to be back to normal. Clicking and interacting with objects and groups has changed completely. When I hover the mouse cursor over an object, it just doesn’t work, it’s not clickable and it’s not highlighted either, only on when I click very close to the edge on right side works and I can select (strange behavior). Sometimes, when I click on a group, it selects the last layer and not the group as a whole. Many objects in all my Figma become like this. What happened? I can’t drag screens around like before either after selecting as well either.

Is there a way to track changes in slides, so collaborators can see what an editor changes? Does anyone know a way or clever workaround? (Version history is not useful. I looked into branching, and also compare-changes in dev-mode, but those features/functionality aren’t available in Slides. Looking for other ideas, please… Thanks!)

Is there any way that I can get the code from the Code Connect by plugin or API? It seems that I can only copy + paste the code, which limits thing that I can do. Curious if there’s any way the I can get the string from plugin or API. I couldn’t find one from the Docs.

while opening the Figma app on my iphone and trying to scroll to a new screen that has a video in the backgroud - the screen goes black for a couple of seconds. This dosnt happen on the computer, probably somthing to do with downloading the video, although it is not bug at all… please any recomandation on how to fix it ?

Hi everyone, my education plan is about to expire, and I’m having trouble moving files from this folder to my personal draft folder. Does anyone have a tutorial or any suggestions?

Hello, I have designed a landing page in Figma in 4 sizes — 1920x1080, 1366x768, 1024x768 and 360x800. After sending it to our developer I’ve checked ready made landing page online and it looked a bit messy (not how I expected). For example, we have 1920x1080. On m MacBook is 16 inch (1792х1120) page looked different (then what I previewed in Figma — Fit width). Furthermore, website looked messy also on my iPhone 16 Pro Max. For example some info moved to the right side (was aligned to left side). My dev told me that I have to come up with more screen resolution to fix this mess. Is it true or he’s just doing something wrong? Pls tell me) He told me that I need to more sizes — 320, 475, 640, 900, 1200. Looking for your opinion. Thanks!

Hello Today I upgraded my account from free to professional. None of the features changed and all my projects still have " UPGRADE to PRO" after for more files or page limits. Can anyone help?

Greetings community, I’ve looked at similar topics but not found a an answer, apologies if I missed it. Is it possible to represent a Parent grid where each row is connected to it’s own Child Grid? Appreciate the help, have a good day.

I have two libraries: one for Brand 1 and one for Brand 2. Everything — such as colors, fonts, corner radius, logos, and component designs — updates correctly when switching between the brands, even for light and dark modes. However, my icons for each brand are not updating. Is there a way to make icons work with variables, or is manual swapping the whole library the only solution?

Figma told me to make an upgrade. i buy it. It shows me account free. What is to do? Thanks

Continuing the discussion from Dev mode for all viewers?: Hi Figma, i’m not sure if i understand this right, please confirm. **If Kim create a file, and give an “view only” access to John, ** John need a Figma-paid-licence to use the DevMode? I dont understand because it’s a “view only seet” not an “editor” XD has it for free ! Corporation won’t want to pay licences for all their devs. Lots of people are more than happy to move from XD to Figma, but if the CodeMode isn’t free, well, that changes everything. Is there a way to turn this around? thanks
