Hello all,Recently I bought a design library to use in my projects. As I try to publish the library on my Pro account, I am getting the attached pop up saying that I need to upgrade Organization account. This is the first time happening to me and I can really say why. And I don’t run a team, its just me.Is it because the library is too complex for Pro account? Whats going on here?   

Because there was no clear warning or confirmation prompt on the iPad interface, I intended to log out of my account, but accidentally deleted my entire Figma account instead.I have been using Figma since my undergraduate years. It is not just a tool to me, but something that has accompanied me through many important stages of my study and design projects. It contains years of my work and creative efforts, and I am currently in the middle of several critical projects.I only realized what had happened after receiving the email saying that my account had been successfully deleted. I was completely shocked and frozen when I saw it.The email mentioned that if projects had collaborators, ownership would be transferred. However, in reality, none of the files were transferred and all of my projects have disappeared.I truly cannot accept losing everything this way, and I am desperately seeking help.If there is any possibili

I love Figma MCP server on Windows side of development but now I would like to use it for XCode and iOS.  I have successfully configured Github Copilot for XCODE and using that I have specified the typical Figma MCP setting but no tools show up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As an admin, I’d like to be able to view (+track) activity related to Dev Mode. Am I simply not looking in the right spot or is it not an option yet? Any workarounds? For example, who’s actively using/engaging with Dev Mode, which files are marked “ready for dev”, etc.

Disclaimer: I’m almost completely new to Figma, so I apologize if I’m missing something extraordinarily basic.I’ve used the AI creator to design a website and done a little bit of manual modification in the code. I’d now like to migrate the design to Framer so I can publish it.The problem is that I can’t select anything. The tutorials I see for what I’m trying to do all feature the ability to select components by double-clicking them, and there’s a “Layers” menu on the left-hand side. I have none of this. All I see is the AI chat on the left-hand side and the ability to toggle between the Preview and Code at the top.Does anyone know why I can’t select anything and why this menu doesn’t appear for me? Figma’s AI support seems to have no idea.This issue persists across Firefox and Chrome and doesn’t resolve if I duplicate the project.

When I am double tapping on the canvas for the right click menu- it is not working. It only works if you click on track pad. The double tap works on layers but not on canvas.  

Maybe there’s a workaround I’m not aware of — any help would be appreciated.I’m trying to create a card component with text and an image. The tricky part is the image: it should be flexible and support different aspect ratios across component instances.In the main component, I use an image placeholder for the visual. However, when I swap that placeholder with a real image in an instance, the image always conforms to the placeholder’s dimensions instead of preserving its original size/aspect ratio. I tried different auto-layout options but nothing worked.I’m looking for a way to build this so that the image resizes based on the card dimensions and it’s own aspect ratio, rather than forcing all images into the same fixed size.

I’ve just started to use Figma Slides, I want to be able to change the colour of the pasteboard surrounding the slide but unlike in Figma Design, I can’t see an option to do this. Is it not available in Slides? 

I have created a set of wireframes to simulate the user interface of a scientific instrument we are developing. Initially we were designing for a touch screen but now we need to convert to physical buttons with adjacent “soft” keys, and I am trying to figure out how to convert the prototype to this input paradigm without having to re-create the entire Figma prototype.Below is a sample frame suitable for touch:Default start button statePressed start button stateYou can see the “pressed” state on the “Start” button which is invoked by clicking on the button in the prototype.I would like to convert to the style below with physical buttons and soft k

Wrestling with yet another gap in basic Figma functionality.I’ve inherited a design file w/ an extensive set of variables -- lots of tokens, primitives, etc. I just want a single, top-down view of how the variables were organized and their values. Basically what you can see (but can’t print or export) from the current variables table view. Can’t do it, even with plug-ins -- I get variable NAMES but not values if the values are other referenced variables. AND THAT’S WHAT I NEED TO REVIEW!This should be a basic management feature. Figma is deferring too much basic stuff to plug in developers which puts the onus on users to 1) do additional research into plug-ins and 2) learn the ins/outs of plug-ins of varying quality. If someone has a solution I haven’t found yet, LMK. In the meantime, thanks for letting me vent. Soitnly PS - My current solution is to take screenshots and print them. Cripes. PPS - Not slamming the plug-in commu

Hi everyone,I have colors defined as variables in my project. Is there a way to edit the assigned token in the variables directly from fill?I can't find such an option. So now, to edit them, I have to go to variables and find the token in the collection. In my opinion, it's a workaround. 

Hey! I've been using Figma for about 2 years now, mostly for UI/UX work, but I feel like I'm only scratching the surface of what it can do.What's the one Figma feature, plugin, or workflow trick that completely transformed your design process?I'm specifically curious about: Hidden features most people overlook Plugin combinations that work magic together Time-saving shortcuts that aren't widely known Creative ways you've hacked Figma for non-design tasks For me, it was discovering the "Similayer" plugin + component variants combo - it cut my workflow time in half for large-scale design systems. But I know there are WAY more powerful workflows out there.Please share your game-changer! The more specific and niche, the better. I'm trying to build a master list for my team.

Hey Figma Community!!!My company is switching our design system to use Untitled UI Figma Library (Variable version). I’ve managed to apply our colors using the variable panel but now I’m tackling the font and how boy I’m struggling… If you’re familiar with Untitled UI, they’re using Inter as their body typeface. Inter has all the font weight you can imagine, including Semi-bold. In their component lib, they are using the Semi-bold font-weight A LOT. My company font only has Regular, Medium and Bold (no italic) and it’s been perfectly fine. My issue is as follow: I was able to replace the tape face in the variables by just renaming the Value for font-family. BUT since Untitled UI used Inter and specifically Inter Semi-bold in a lot of places in their components these instance now have an interrogation point when it calls to semi bold… Is there a way, in the Variable panel or the Styles to tell the document that every text layer currently usin

Hi fellow Figma users, I have registered and am a student of an ongoing bootcamp. While every one of the students has full access to the bootcamp Figma files, my access keeps getting changed into view only. The admin of the bootcamp has been in touch with Figma multiple times and they approved my account, but I still get the same problem, and the issue has not been resolved. We are half through the bootcamp, and I only had full editing access for the first week. This is very frustrating, and I cannot participate in any of the group activities. I also have no way of contacting Figma directly to solve the issue with their assistance. has anyone experienced similar issues? @dvaliao @Celine_Figma

What does the figma dev package offer, the one for $15, does it give 3000 AI credits and how do I track my AI credits to know my usage and know how to use the credits wisely. 

I’m learning Figma step by step and wanted to hear from people who have been using it for a while. Right now, I’m focusing on the basics like frames, auto layout, and components, and trying to build simple layouts without overcomplicating things. Some days it feels smooth, and other days I realize I’m still missing small but important details.For those with more experience, what helped you the most in the early stages? Was it practicing daily, following real projects, or learning from mistakes along the way? I’d love to know any habits, tips, or resources that made a real difference for you.

Hi guys, would love to get your help.I am trying to create a component (demonstration below) of a square in figma that when you hover your mouse on it it shows a picture in the square, and then i entered it into a a different component that repeats itself in a frame (like a square grid).I want that when you tap on that component, it changes the variant state of the Squarescreen which is a differnt component. Saw a youtube tutorial and the problem it created was that when i tapped on it it only made the hover state of the component freeze so it looks like it just made the picture stay there but i want it to change the state of the variant in the squarescreen. any help please?  

I have a problem. Last month, I was mistakenly charged for an extra seat. I removed it, but I was billed again. I don't need six seats; I want to pay for five. Please issue me a new bill for five seats. Remove any random options that could have arisen due to someone's mistake and would have resulted in a price higher than five seats. This is extremely urgent; please attend to my request as soon as possible.

Hey All I’m learning Figma to build my companies website and seem to be having issues 1. in Figma and 2. when importing to webflow.  Seems like my NavBar menu is stuck down and won’t go up either in Figma or in webflow and I know there is a linking issue but can’t seem how to fix it. Any help would be great!

When I copy any Figma frame using Cmd+Shift+C (copy as png), it gives a message “copied as png” but when I try to paste it in google slides, it doesn’t work. As if there’s nothing in the clipboard. Tried clearing the clipboard still doesn’t work.

Hello, I have a problem with emojis. It’s impossible to add them in project.I’m on Windows 10 and I use the desktop app. When I open the emojis window, whatever the one I select, it does not appear in my frame or layer’s title.How can I fix this ?

I’ve been designing data tables using components and variants. My setup is as such: Cell component is nested in a Row component, Row component is nested in a Table Component. Cell component has a text property and 2 variants for mobile/desktop. Row component has 2 variants for mobile/desktop. When I change the row component to the “desktop” variant, which also switches the Cell component to its “desktop” variant, the text property gets reset by to its default, and I have to key in all the Cell text again. Is there any way to avoid this? Thanks!
