Hello I have a problem exporting the Jpg files, they export in a very bad quality, although the import was in a high quality + in settings i have high quality tick set Previously (around a month ago) I had no problems with exporting files and their quality maybe smn knows what to do?

At work, I often share Figma links to communicate with clients or partner companies. However, even after we’ve ended the collaboration, they can still access our designs through the link, which is really annoying. Another issue is that although the link can be set to read-only mode, this only applies to the web. If the person has a Figma account, they can still copy the content from the link and paste it into their own project! ！This means our designs could potentially be stolen.

a component with auto layout works perfectly as expected (expandable side menu) but when i use an instance of it in design it doesn’t expand like the main component, it acts differently by plugging the content without expanding the whole menu. in the video attached: first record is the screen with main component while second record is the instance.

hello guys. I can’t resolve the question with position of image. I need to find positions X and Y after cropp or mask.

Hi, I created a parent component that has several child components. I want to duplicate the parent component and make specific changes to it without affecting the current child components. However, I want these new changes to apply to a different set of child components. Is it possible to detach the second set of child components from the original parent, attach them to the duplicated parent, and have the changes to the duplicated parent apply only to the second set of child components?

don’t working change to in while Hovering help pls

I was just presenting with Figma Slides today in Present + Notes mode, and while it was working fine much of the time, a few times the Present slides completely refused to change at the same time as I was going through the slides in the Notes window. I had to restart Figma completely twice in the presentation just to be able to move forward. Not a great experience! Is this a known issue?

Hi. For the user testing session, I need an app prototype and another prototype that simulates USB device to be linked together. In the way that buttons in app will trigger interaction on the “device” flow and vice versa, is this possible at all in figma? These should be run on two separate devices one on desktop and another on mobile.

Hello Figma team, I’m writing to express my growing frustration regarding two significant overcharges on my account that have yet to be addressed. In August, I was charged $212.00 for my personal Figma Professional Account. After noticing the discrepancy, I promptly opened a support ticket but received no response. Now, in September, I’ve been charged $257.00, and despite opening another ticket, there has still been no communication from customer support. As a frequent user of Figma, I’ve always enjoyed the product and its features, but this lack of response is deeply disappointing. To prevent further issues, I’ve canceled my account until these overcharges can be resolved. I’m reaching out here because, unfortunately, it seems that support inquiries only receive attention when raised publicly. I would appreciate it if someone could look into this matter urgently, as this is a billing error that needs immediate correction. Thank you in advance for your prompt attention to this issue.

Hey! I’m getting a message once I open Figma saying “You can’t access this resource. Contact the owner, an admin, or support for assistance.” But it’s my account and I’m the only one on it? Has anyone had this issue before? I have client work on there that I can no longer access or even view the document - I just get a grey screen with the above message.

I’m developing a plugin that includes functionality to create a text node with content. I’m trying to set the text node’s vertical alignment to ‘cap height to baseline,’ but I’m having trouble achieving this. text.textCase = "TITLE"; text.textAlignVertical = "TOP"; text.textAutoResize = "WIDTH_AND_HEIGHT"; text.textLineHeight = "CAP_HEIGHT"; The other ones work fine – but not the Vertical Trim. Thoughts?

I posted my first FigJam to my Google Classroom, and none of my students were able to access it. I used Jamboard a lot last year, so I just did the same, in that I chose: “make a copy for each student”. I wanted to pull defintions I had on one color sticker up to definitions that I had on a different color sticker. When they tries to move the definition sticker, the whole screen moved back and forth. Between me and my students, we were not able to figure it out.

Hi! I have a button that uses variables for sizes (S, M, L, XL). I want buttons S and M to use smaller font size (14px) than L and XL (16px). I use the same font style for button and paragraph text (M-regular). How do I set up variables for that style so that the button text changes between 14px and 16px (depending on the button size), independently from paragraph text that should switch sizes depending on the device (Desktop, Tablet, Mobile)? I want to control button size regardless of the device. There are a couple solutions I can think of: Use a separate font style for paragraph text and button text, each having a separate text variable Don’t use variables at all for button size, just use variants (I’m trying to avoid that one due to many variants) Is there a way to keep a single style for buttons and paragraphs, and somehow handle this case with variables?

Not sure where to submit this bug, when I try to draw on my presentation the colour automatically shifts to white.

I can’t use the PingFang font in Figma on Chrome with macOS 15.0. Before upgrading the system, it worked fine. I’m using Chrome, and I’ve cleared the browser cache and restarted the computer, but the issue persists. I suspect the issue might be due to the following: macOS 15.0 updated the PingFang font, but it cannot be successfully downloaded and updated in Font Book.

All - semi noob here and wanted to make sure im starting down the right path. My developers are using vs code with MUI to build out our front end. Id like to redo my Figma designs with the same default mui library components so i can just export the new Figma designs in code to them. From all i can tell its as easy as 1) importing the mui for Figma design library, 2) using those components on the new Figma screens (in developer mode?), and then e) exporting the vs code and css (maybe with another export tool like rendition?) Is it that simple or am i missing something? Id hate to get 1/2 way through and te realize the assumption was wrong. If there are different libraries, tools, etc to do what i need please lmk. Thanks for any help - and (sorta) sorry for asking such a basic question.

Hey everyone, I have a footer element which is an autolayout itself and I have some body content in the parent frame along with the footer. I want to make the footer stick to the bottom of the viewport so I changed into absolute position (ignore autolayout in ui3). Then i changed the scroll behaviour to fixed. While this is keeping the footer fixed in the bottom and I am also able to scroll the rest of the body content in the autolayout, the footer is not responsive (since i ignored the autolayout). Is there any way I can achieve this? I want to keep the footer stuck to the bottom of the screen and also ensure it is responsive (fills parent container) when I change the width of the parent frame.

Hi There, Sorry if this is easy but how do you hide frame labels? They’re constantly in the way while designing. Cheers, Ben

I have a list of todo’s in an auto-layout frame. I need to access the X access to move one of the todo’s out out of frame to the right (for prototype animation purposes). When I select the todo the X & Y axis are greyed out though. I though of using Absolute Positioning but that options seems to be greyed out also. Can anyone explain when this parameters are greyed out and if theres a workaround for what I’m trying to achieve? Thanks!

I’m trying to give a particular shape to my block of text, without it being cut (I tested, it doesn’t work with a mask). For example, instead of being in a rectangle, I want my text block to be shaped like a triangle, with the text automatically wrapping to fit that shape. Does anyone have a solution please?
