 As you can see from my screen record, I have two images, both in the form of png. But I cannot figure out why the two would behave differently even though I haven’t messed around with the settings, and I want to know how to get consistent behavior, specifically I want both of my images to act like the second image where the image will follow and adjust with the size and not get cropped or zoomed in.

I've been having a very weird issue in Figma recently. When trying to move objects in a Frame it blocks me for some reason, but it does let me move around a couple of objects on the top. Objects outside of this frame are able to be moved freely. And if I move the order in the layers section then it works (the frame has auto layout on).Does anyone know why this is happening and how to resolve this issue? https://imgur.com/a/PKxFTs2

Hi,I'm a newbie with Figma and need help figuring out why my site is displaying differently online versus what it shows me in the view option in Figma Sites. The first screenshot is how Figma Sites shows me how it will look. It has already been published, so it is updated. The second screenshot is how it actually looks online. It adds a bunch of white space to the right. Instead of extending it across the screen. How can I fix this? Thank you for your help in advance.

I'm thinking about building my portfolio using Figma Sites, but before I start, I wanted to ask: does Figma allow you to password-protect specific pages or projects? I’d like to make some sections private or only accessible to certain people.

I recently started using the paid plan of Fima. I am still learning all the new features i got with the professional plan. Yesterday i found out that i cannot access the first draft ai feature from the action tab as shown in the tutorial videos.

How do I get these tools in the top menu like this YT user who created a Component? Or is his a paid plan? Cheers. 

Hi Figma Support Team,I hope you are doing well.I recently submitted my application for the Figma Education Plan using my institutional email address: [redacted by moderator to remove personal information]. However, I haven't received any confirmation or status update regarding my verification yet.Could you please check the status of my application? I am looking forward to using Figma for my academic projects and design learning.

I have deleted my account, but I forgot to cancel my subscription. What should I do

Hi!Suddenly a icon component (with around 15 variants) doens’t allow recoloring, while any other component has no issues.using icon instance > recoloring doesn't work for any of the variants. all icons are in one layer with same layer name detached it as component > recoloring is fine created an independent component > recoloring is fine added it back to the icon set > recoloring doesn't work anymore Any idea what it can be?

My company has a comprehensive component library which I am trying to have imported into Figma make. One of our designers has run the export following the instructions, and those who have edit access to the component library can see it in Figma make. However I just have viewing access but I still can’t see it - I can’t tell if it’s a bug or I’m just missing the correct permissions? Do I need to be a member of the team where the library is published? I get a bit lost with all the Figma access/permissions.

Sometimes it happens that I accidentally misclick and lock the layer/frame.Then I wonder why I cannot click on the layer to select it… in my case so frequent:)If figma UI provide visual feedback, I mean notification “Frame is locked” when rage clicking on it - that would be really clear

We’ve built a large design library in our organization account that many internal teams use.Sometimes, we also work with external vendors (like agencies or freelancers) who need to use this library and get updates regularly. Because we’re a large corporation, it’s not practical to add them as paid seats just for a short project – the approval and payment process is too complex.What’s the best way right now to share a library with people outside the organization so they can actually use the components (not just view them)?Is exporting the library as a .fig file really the only option – even though that means they won’t get any future updates?Thanks!

I’m encountering an issue when trying to publish an urgent update to my Figma plugin.Plugin name: 批量修改字体字号 Batch Font Size ModifierPlugin link:https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1445383264057474829/batch-font-size-modifierWhen I attempt to publish the update, I receive the following error message:“Fix errors before publishing. We detected a change to your account details. Please contact support@figma.com to publish this plugin.”I believe this issue may be related to a recent change in my account details, but I’m unable to find any way to resolve or verify this on my end.

I used a published library for my figma make file.I did some work.I exported the design and pasted into Figma. But the components it supposedly used from the Design System / Library didn’t come across but pastes in just as figma elements.Is this correct?

Hello everyone, I have a doubt. In my brand palette file, I’d like to have a “Brand palette” and an “Infographic palette”, which would include much more shades. For the “Brand palette”, I created specific variables, but now I’m wondering if in the same file I can create also variables for the “Infographic palette”.Also, when using the library in other file, I’d like to be able to select the palette I wanna see between these two.Do you think it is possible or do I have to create two different libraries?Thank you!

Is there a way in Figma to adjust all the typography in a group of text elements at once, instead of having to select each element individually?(In the group are just text elements.)When I select the group with multiple text elements in same typo, the typo settings won’t be shown.When I select all text elements auf a group via cmd + shift / mark, same behaviour.Only in case I select elements which are not part of a group via cmd + shift or I select the text elements one by one with shift, I can adjust the typo settings. However, I would like to select a group of text elements and change them directly all together.

Dear Community, I have been exploring the possibilities of Figma Sites and I have encountered a big problem.I have made a Design System as I usually do, and made some page layout that work perfectly in Figma Design. But, when I add the library to Figma Sites and import af button with a “while hovering” and “while pressing” state, the buttons never goes back to the original state after hovering it. It a simple component with the 3 states of the button. Is there a fix for this? 

Hi Community, Ones i had created the skeleton loader and clicked on preview it dose animate. but when i use Lottie file plugin it only comes as a flat jpeg without any animation. 

Hello, I have two plugins that have been posted on the figma platform for several years. This morning, all users suddenly said that our plugins couldn't be found in the resource community. I hope your team can provide me with a specific explanation of the reasons for taking down these two plugins of mine. And apply to restore these two plugins to the figma platform. The following are the addresses of the two plugins I developed：https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1000018270921149282/lanhuhttps://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1045276346404842107/lanhu 

Setup: Foundations library which contains all color variables (and currently 4 modes, 1 deleted mode (The Grape Brand)). The Foundations library is used in a Components library and several design files The Components library is also used in the same design files Issue When i’m in my Components file and select variable mode on page level it shows 5 modes (4 current and 1 old mode) and except for the default mode it shows exclamations marks behind all of them. When i’m in the Components file but select a layer and change the mode on layer level I see the 4 correct modes and no exclamation marks. If I open a design file which uses both the Components and Foundations library I get the 4 correct modes and no exclamation marks on both page and layer level. It’s not that big an issue that I cannot change the mode on page level

別ファイルでデザインスタイルのファイルを作成しました。作成したテキストスタイルを、すでにデザイン作成している他ファイルに一括変換で反映したいです。すでにデザインで当てているテキストにも、変更内容が適切に変換されるようにしたいと思っています。良い方法がないか教えていただきたいです。

Is it possible to connect to the Remote Figma MCP server from your own client? To be specific, could I build an Agentic system that connects to the Remote Figma server, takes in a link to the Figma design and generates the code for that design using the output from Figma's MCP toolset?

 Hello everyone Since the update for the Figma site came out, I've been wondering how to run a carousel, whether based on an image or text. The Figma site doesn't support on drag. What solutions have you been providing for this? I have prototyped many complex carousels where each slide change causes radical changes to the page, something that excites me a lot when browsing, now how do I bring this to the Figma website?  

I've created a Figma plugin that works well for my own use, but I'm concerned about sharing it with my team because the code is readable to anyone who accesses it. Is there an option to encrypt the plugin or export it in a binary format to protect the source code? I want to prevent others from being able to view or modify the code while still allowing them to use the plugin. Any guidance would be appreciated.

as title, I’m trying to use my published library in a Figma Make project, but the export for Figma Make dialog does not pop up. Also when I click Import From Figma in Make, it does nothing. Tried closing the app and reopen but still the same. I’m on a pro education plan. Is this feature available for me? thank you
