What is the normal size for a Figma file to open without extra loading?

hola, de golpe se dejan de visualizar los componentes dentro de una section… no se visualizan en el frame, como que se ocultan pero siguen apareciendo en el panel izquierdo. Lo cual nos obliga a volver a otras versiones

When posting a visual created on Figma to Instagram, random white lines appear along the edges of the image, despite it being fully stretched within the frame. These lines are not visible in the preview of the image within Figma or on any pre-upload screens. However, they consistently show up after the image is posted to Instagram. I always export in PNG and have never had an issue like this before, so why is this happening?

Hello everyone. I trying Figma prototypes with variables but it is harder a bit. 😦 I have a question. I prepared a slider with 4 images switching. I set a variable for these four images for a button to switch from 1st to 2nd each time. but it does not switch from the 4th image to the 1st image, it jumps to the 2nd image. So it does not return to the beginning. Where am I making a mistake? How can i restart my prototype? how can i jumpt to the 4th (cannibal) to first image? (vermithor) Link is here: https://www.figma.com/design/KduhSxXaT4wiRmAo6xQQUx/Dragon-Index?node-id=1-4&t=NWmwefdKKdeNT0lp-1 And video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TyxDorY2Ig And also my variables is here:

Hi, my problem was the same like here: “Change Variant of a component from a different component” Change variant of a component from a different component @tank666 sent me a very helpful visual step by step video for this solution after i asked for that. BIG THANKS FOR THAT!!! So far, it works. But it don’t works with nested instances within a component. It seems that Figma has no solution for that at the moment. Is there a smart workaround to bind a variable in a nested instance within a component or to have the same effect to swap a state of different component? Best regards

Hi, I recently switched the color profile to Display P3 for the first time, just to try it out. Now, when I try to switch back, Figma won’t let me. It keeps reverting to Display P3 every time I attempt to change it. Could you help me with this?

Working on a project… and now it’s local libraries means both really local and the parent is also local? It seems added (a thumbnail in libraries) and yet I can’t choose it when placing an element for swap instance (an icon). I choose from local but I have no idea where the icon comes from (also, a dark icon on a dark background in dark UI is a mess). BTW is there yet a good way without plugin, to look for library conflicts meaning I don’t want some particular library used? I saw something like automatic change but it works like it wants… And what is “preferred”? How does it know which one is the preferred library? What an IDIOCY. What a nightmare, constant problems, constant lack of logic is Figma to work with OMGGGGGG… 20 years in design and I can’t freaking work out automatization in my work.

Hi, we are trying to develop a prototype for a Chatbot and want to run an usability test. Therefore we want to try to simulate the functionality as good as possible. I hoped that there might be a functionality to add new Components (i.e. new Chat Bubbles) if the user Clicks on the Input Field (of course it would not be functional but we imagine a behavior, where the user can choose between a few dialog options). We tried hiding the (pre-created) chat bubbles and showing them onclick, which works fine, but does not allow for looping (i.e. the user to return to a previous state of conversation) Does any of you know of a solution to this problem or do you maybe have any other suggestions what we could try?

Hi all, Is there a way to export text emojis as a svg file? When I try to export it, the emoji just turns into a square block of the text’s fill color. What it should look like: What it actually looks like:

Hello everyone! What the plan do I need to have a possibility generate API keys for transferung my maket to Tilda?

As an admin I tried to make the project view-only but selected access as “Disabled”. Now even I can’t see the project. All files inside it are still available in the Recents. Is there any chance to revert this change? As usual, Figma support is silent.

I created a more complex variable system where the prototype simulates a card machine. However, on my local machine, all the variables are displayed and updated. When I share the project with other devices or people, some variables are not updated or displayed, which prevents my prototype from working properly. Could anyone help me with this issue? Could it be related to hardware or caching?

Is it possible to use variables to prototype multi-frame navigation in a prototype? What I seem to have found is that any interactions I apply to the full_screen instances suppress all interactions done in the main component. Prototyping Example.fig (30.4 KB)

We have recently moved our Business Plan from Professional to Organization. Now, we would like to move some files that are stored in local Free Teams into this Organization. While being an owner and admin of the teams respectively, when pressing “move file” on the file in the free plan, I do not get the option to move the file to any Team inside the Organization, but only to other Free Teams. I have stumbled upon this thread Moving projects from one organization to another which sounded like only Figma themselves can do this type of “migration”. So in the end, I am asking: Is it possible at all for me to move a file from a free team into an organization - without manual export/import? If not, I would request the following features: Please extend the documentation in this regard Please include this information as a prompt BEFORE one changes their plan from Professional to Organization, stating that one should move all local files into the team (if it is the Organization Plan that restr

Hi everyone, We have designed our sales deck in Figma and downloaded it with the plugin Super-PDF and then compressed with smallpdf.com. On my Mac it looks perfect in Google Chrome, Preview etc. However, there seem to be problems to open it on Windows in Adobe Acrobat Reader. First, on some pages Adobe shows the error "An error exists on this page. Acrobat may not display the page correctly. Please contact the person who created the PDF document to correct the problem. " Additionally, the layering does not seem to work correctly. Specifically, I have created a mockup of a phone screen with the iPhone frame laying on top of the phone screen to provide the border. This is correctly shown on my Mac but not Adobe. Looking forward to your ideas on how we could fix this or at least investigate reasons. Thank you!

I am trying to have 2 text that sit under one another: A title and body text. When clicking on auto-layout and clicking on vertical - it display the text beside one another. Yet when I click horizonatal - it displays the text on top of each other. Please help

I’ve designed a motorcycle entirely from vectors shapes and to get both side symetrical I created a component for the left half of the content and then duplicated it and flipped it horizontally to create the other half. Now I want to merge the two sides together into a single shape. Some shapes have a stroke which is creating an unwanted line down the middle. I have duplicated both sides of the design and detached them from the original component and I am going object by object trying to combine the two seperate sides of each into a single vector. The difficulty I’m having is that when I delete the lines that sit between the two shapes, the fills on both are deleted. Some fills have taken time to get right and include a base colour and one or more gradients. I have tried adding new joining lines between the two sides and then deleting the ones that are now unecessary but the fills always vanish. Below example shows two shapes that have been flattened into one. I have connected them w

Collaborating with designers who have already obtained licenses from other teams is becoming even more challenging; now, libraries are not allowed to share privately across teams. Just want to get advice on how to make cross-team collaboration more smoothly? (Assuming buying additional licenses under our account is not the only option)

Hi there! I’m facing an issue while working for a cliente. We are currently working on our Figma (org) and they have their own Figma (org). We are using a public design system that is publishing among the communities resources. The library is both published on our org and their too. The project is closing so we are trying to transfer everything to them. At first we are trying with the “send a copy” feature. They correctly receive the workspace and looks like all the components are able the relink to the library in their org, except for some of them that Figma shows as “local components” (we didn’t use any). We can’t make it work and don’t know what’s actually happening. Every kind of support is appreciated! Thanks, Danny

While switching between pages using the navigation bar, it does not reset properly. i checked reset componet too

Hello, I am a student from Kazakhstan and my place of study does not issue Figma. I am studying software development and I really need Figma.

Imported files are taking up too much of the memory, so is there a way to find which component is causing the issue? Is there a way to remove the imported status of a component and convert the imported component into a native component to that file to avoid the memory issue?
