Figma’s help article indeed says that Gemini CLI cannot write to canvas with remote MCP server.  Was wondering when that support would be added?  As a heavy user of Gemini CLI, was hoping to not have to constantly switch to Claude Code when I experiment with designing!Much appreciated.

Hi, so i wanted to make a navbar animation, but i cannot make the navbar responsive AND animated AND fixed in place (so it moves down when im scrolling). I am going insane, heres the problem below. The problem is that because the navbar is not inside hero section i cannot make this animation and i dont know how else i can do it while containing both animation, responsivness and it being fixed in place - desperate design student.

I’m creating an interactive dropdown component. I’m using variants. When the dropdown opens to display the menu items either it pushes the elements below it (using auto layout), or the menu opens behind the other elements. I have Youtube videos, I have followed other questions in the community and elsewhere and nothing seems to fix the issue. I have tried changing the canvas stacking to ‘First on Top’, I have tried clip content, I have tried ‘Bring to front’. I tried using overlays but then i’m not able to display the selected option. How do I fix this? I would really appreciate any help!

Hi everyone,I want to share my situation because it mirrors patterns I've seen in other threads here, and I'd love to understand if others have experienced the same.I've been on Figma's paid plan since mid-2025, paying a consistent €24.40/month for roughly 8 months. Then in March 2026 my invoice climbed to €57.86, and this month — April 2026 — I was hit with a €627.28 charge.Here's the full breakdown:1 Full seat: €20.00 15,000/mo AI credits: €351.00 Billing adjustments (AI credit updates): €143.16 Taxes: €113.12 Total: €627.28I want to focus specifically on that €143.16 "billing adjustment", because I find it the most opaque part of this invoice. Figma describes it as "charges for updates made since your last invoice, prorated from the date of change"— but I have no idea what change triggered it, when it happened, or how the amount was calculated. There is no itemized breakdown, no date, no event I can trace it back to. It simply appears as a lump sum on top of an already unexpected €3

Pessoal, alguém pode me ajudar com uma dúvida no Figma? 🙏Antes eu conseguia usar a opção “Colar como camadas de design” (aquele ícone ), mas agora ela fica desabilitada pra mim.Já tentei copiar prints, imagens e até conteúdo de sites, mas mesmo assim o botão não ativa 😕Alguém sabe o que pode ser? Mudou alguma configuração ou é algum requisito específico pra funcionar?Se alguém já passou por isso e conseguiu resolver, agradeço muito a ajuda!

Hi,I am asking because it’s really hard to find anything on this - everything on stacking is top / last idea.So is there a way to have initial stacking changed on RWD window resize?And I don’t mean the prototype, but the design phase.I guess even with variables - you can’t differentiate variables on manual window resize of a frame/component? I mean I have a list of features + image and I do it odd/even:text + imageimage + texttext + imageimage + text so when I resize the window, it’s not stacked:textimageimagetexttextimageimagetext(because folding works like that)but instead, just like you can do it in e.g. Bootstrap with one classfor mobile stacking elements exchange positions, so that it’s:textimagetextimagetextimagetextimage? Sorry if there’s something about it but I know Figma has problems on window change features (without setting e.g. “mobile” manually) and most topics are about the obvious stacking ideas.Cheers,

Hello Figma community,I need urgent help regarding a serious issue with my files.Today (24 April 2026, around 11:00 AM PKT), I was transferring all my projects from my Education account to my personal account.Education account: (redacted by the moderator due to PII)Personal account: (redacted by the moderator due to PII)I invited my personal account, transferred ownership of all files, and confirmed that everything was visible in my personal account.After that, I removed the Education account’s access and later deleted the files from the Education account (including permanently clearing the trash).However, after this, all files disappeared from both accounts.Before deletion, I also saw a warning that the files were still linked to an Education plan/workspace.These files include:Internship workPersonal UI/UX projectsPortfolio workThis is very critical for me.Since this happened very recently, I want to ask: Is there any way to recover these files from backend backups or via support esca

I get that I can use “after delay” but if the user sits at the top of the page longer than the delay, when they finally scroll to the object, the animation has already finished. Is there a better way?

Hi,Requesting the name change on organizational level from Nuuday to TDC brands?Can you help us on this 

Hi! I want to add a custom domain name to my Figma Site while on Education plan, currently it something like mywebsite.figma.site and I want to turn it into something like mywebsite.com. I've seen the option available a few months ago but I can't seem to find it anymore. Is it still possible ? Thank you!

Hello, Can someone help me? My collegue has a side bar with variables etc.This is mine: How can i get the other ui? Thanks!

I’ve been playing around with Codex & today I installed the Figma plugin in order to try out some of the new features & skills such as creating a file, creating a design system, etc. Everything went well, I was able to log into my company Figma account and verify that all the skills were present. However, when I attempted to use some of these skills, I was told that I only had read only access.After this, I attempted to troubleshoot by quitting out of both Figma and Codex, uninstalling & reinstalling the plugin, turning on dev mode & enabling the local MCP server inside of Figma (I was using the remote server before), but nothing seems to work. Based on what I see in the instructions, it should theoretically work out of the box, so to speak.Has anybody encountered this problem before, and if so, how did you fix it? Perhaps I’m doing something wrong, or if there’s a flag that needs to be enabled on the administrative side that will let me use these skills? If there isn’t

I’m trying to publish some changes to my site and I keep getting an error message saying “Update attempt not successful” - has anyone else encountered this?

How do I add the icons I designed to the library in the left sidebar of FigJam?

I'd like to recover it, but when I try to use the deleted account to create a new one with the same email address, I get a "request failed". I deleted my account 6 hours ago. Do I have to wait longer to create it again? I've already tried a different browser and incognito mode, but it doesn't work. Thanks for your help.

Hey everyone,I’ve been exploring raster to vector conversion and realized that the quality of the final vector really depends on the process used.Sometimes auto-trace works okay, but other times the result looks messy with too many points or uneven lines. Manual vectorizing seems cleaner, but it takes more time and skill.I wanted to ask:How do you decide between auto-tracing and manual vectorization? What settings or techniques help get smoother, more accurate paths? How do you handle low-resolution or blurry raster images? Any tips for keeping file sizes small while maintaining quality?

Hello, I was attempting to delete an old project, and accidentally deleted ALL OF MY FIGMA FILES - including an app high-fidelity wireframe design that is meant to go into production May 1.

Hi,I created a Make prototype.Then I created a different Make prototype.For example, A website with 5 pages.The first prototype is the first 3 pages and the second is the next 2 pages.Now I want to put them together into a single prototype. What is the best way to do this in Make?

I added the Figma MCP Server to mcp.json and tried both the global and workspace configurations. But, it throws the same error every time I try to start the server. I found suggestions online to use the Figma desktop app, ensure Node.js is installed, use a Figma Pro account, and try with a Personal Access Token (PAT). I have confirmed all of these requirements, but the error persists.“Connection state: Error Error sending message to https://mcp.figma.com/mcp: TypeError: fetch failed”{ "servers": { "com.figma.mcp/mcp": { "type": "http", "url": "https://mcp.figma.com/mcp" } }, "inputs": []} 

Hi everyone - hoping someone can help or confirm whether this is expected behaviour.I have a parent component with children (radio option, list item) all set to Fill for horizontal resizing. The parent frame uses auto-layout.What I expect: When I insert an instance from the Assets panel into a frame set to auto-layout, the instance should fill the container — matching the resizing properties I set in the parent component.What actually happens: Instances inserted from the Assets panel come in at a fixed width. I have to manually set each one to "Fill container" every time.                                                                                        The confusing part: If I drag the same component directly from the canvas into the frame, it does fill correctly. So  the behaviour exists — it just doesn't carry over when inserting from Assets.My questions:     1. Is this expected behaviour, or a bug?  2. Has anyone found a workaround to make instances from the Assets panel defaul

Y’all, how can I connect Stripe, so my desktop app made with Figma Make can collect payment? Is it even possible? I have wasted an entire month of credits prompting, time watching videos, and even more time on Code Mentoring sites looking for help to try to figure out how to get this app to accept a payment. I dont want to leave Figma, but I fear this is my only recourse, if I want to collect payment for this app. I am sure, I am missing something but I cannot figure out what/
