Can Figma Make integrate and make use of our existing design system to streamline our design workflow?

I have exported my published design system to Make and it is then selected in the Make chat window, but when I ask it to simply add some buttons to a page it doesn’t use the button components from my design system, it uses some generic styles.Can Figma Make actually use my components?!

I am creating a simple context menu. I have an item component and a menu component with auto-layout that consists a few items. I can duplicate items inside the master component, but I can’t do it in an instance. Is there a solution for that, or do I need to create variants with different numbers of items?ChatGPT and Gemini say that there is an option called “Children property” in Figma that can help, but I don’t trust them 😆 

The current API returns raw JSON that is too heavy for LLMs (~960k tokens), while the UI estimates only ~67k for the same component.I am investigating why there is such a massive gap (15x) between Figma's estimated tokens and the actual API response. How can we accurately estimate the post-execution payload size of the MCP tool? We need a way to gauge the true context weight (including metadata overhead) before making the request.I fetched this payload via the get_design_context tool.

Hi Figma Plugin Team and Community,I'm experiencing a behavior where Figma shows "Loading 21 pages for plugin..." when I run my plugin for the first time after opening a Figma file with 21 pages.Background:• My Figma file has 21 pages• When I first run my plugin, I see: "Loading 21 pages for plugin..."• This happens BEFORE my plugin UI appears• After the first run, running the plugin again does NOT show this loading messageWhat I've tested:I created a minimal test version that ONLY calls figma.showUI():figma.showUI(__html__, {  width: 878,  height: 631,});Result: The "Loading 21 pages" message STILL appears.My Questions:1. Is this Figma's default behavior when ANY plugin starts?2. Why does this happen? The docs say "pages are only loaded as needed"3. Is there any way to prevent this?4. Why do some other plugins NOT show this message?The official docs state: "Figma files are loaded dynamically. Plugins must use asynchronous APIs to access parts of the file outside of the currently-viewe

I have been experimenting with Figma MCP server(local) with Augment in Intillij IDEA and it was working fine until Nov 25. But last week when I was working, it started returning error -{"jsonrpc":"2.0","error":{"code":-32001,"message":"Invalid sessionId"},"id":null}I checked with Admin that there is no change from their side. Also, when we load Figma design, the “Enable Figma MCP server” section shows temporarily and disappers. I have tried on two different machines with latest version of Figma desktop. Thank you  

I made a website on Figma, and I got a message asking how much of a restriction it is.

Hi all,I'm working on a web app that needs to work on a touch screen (most likely tablet-size). For the environment it will be used in, it's extra important that text stays readable and interactive elements are easy to touchTo get a feel for this, I have a tablet with a 1900 x 1200 resolution, 10.1 inch screen size and 224 pixels per inch, to try out prototypes of the screens with the Figma mobile app. The designs I make are also in 1900 x 1200 frames. When I open a Figma prototype in the mobile app, it gives 2 options for scaling the content: Fixed or Responsive.For reference, please see attachmed images below (these are not the actual screens from the web app as I cannot share those).When I view the designs on the canvas on my desktop at 100%, sizes look fine to me.On the tablet, this is also the case when I set the content scale to Responsive (image A). This adds a strange blank area to the right and bottom that I can scroll to by the way.When I set it to Fixed (image B) however, ev

Good morning, everyone!!! I’m creating severel mockups in Figma Make for presentatios to clients. I need to understand how to export this creation to use in Power BI. Is this possible?

Hi Figma Support Team,I accidentally deleted one of my Figma files, and it was also removed from the Trash. but I wanted to check if it is possible to restore it from your server-side backups.As unfortunately by mistake it was clicked- ‘ permanently delete’ from trash. and i was so much frosted to get it back.i had already contact figma from this link- https://help.figma.com/hc/en-us/requests/1619605 but didn't get single response from figma support team. And sometimes they put it into solved without solving that was surprise me is it good support ! which i didn't expect.Here are the details: File Name:- Drafted all files File URL https://www.figma.com/design/XlrvuMYaVDWnPZzEAuPUV6/Drafted-all-files?node-id=1405-133&t=K7emvnaj0w4PUJAj-0 Date & Time When File Was Deleted:- 28th Nov 2025 after 4 PM IST Workspace / Account Email: (redacted by the moderator due to PII) This file is very important for my ongoing project.Please let me know if there's any chance to recover it.Wa

Hello community, Currently, when I create strokes icons, I use the tool corner radius to change independently each rounded corner. But if I reduce the size of my icon, the rounded corners remain the same and do not adjust. I would like to convert it into an anchor point with the wrists. I'm not quite sure how to explain it, so I've included an example. At the moment, I use copy as SVG and paste on the right click menu but maybe an other solution more convenient exist. How do you do it ?  

How do I make a reusable, centralized set of design tools in Figma that I can use in all my projects?

问题描述：我最近安装了 Figma 桌面客户端（Windows），遇到了两个问题： 顶部工具栏功能无法使用。点击顶部工具栏的功能（例如“创建组件”、“实用蒙版”、“交换填充和描边”、“编辑对象”、“拟描边”、“展平”）时，它们完全没有反应。例如： 选择图像和投影→单击“使用蒙版”没有任何反应。 点击“创建组件”也没有任何效果，感觉这些功能完全被禁用了。 本地化（中文）无法正常工作我安装了FigmaEX插件，并在设置中启用了“汉化Figma界面”，但界面仍然显示为英文。之前我用同样的方法安装客户端时，界面可以正确切换为中文，但现在无论如何，界面仍然是英文。 预期行为： 顶部工具栏功能应正常工作，例如“重置弥补码”或“创建组件”应在有效条件下生效。 启用本地化插件后，Figma 客户端界面应该显示中文。 附加信息： 系统：Windows Figma客户端版本：最新版本（2025年9月2日安装） 插件：FigmaEX v1.5.49 截图：附件    

What’s the difference between these font sizes? One of them is shown in a white rectangle.

Hi,  I created a menu like component, i created variants and link this , it is for a landing page, like top bar. This works when you don't link another animation like scroll .I want this menu to change when I push the name section of the page and scroll to the section page,  for example  when clicking in “Nosotros” scroll to nosotros section and is put in bold “Nosotros” at menu.thanks in advance, sorry I am not native English speaker, but try my best. 

Hi everyone,I’m building a simple 3-page website using Figma Make. The pages are: Home, About, and Blog.The issue I'm facing is: Accessing the root domain (www.*********.com) works fine. However, when I try to go directly to a subpage like www.*********.com/blog or www.site.com/about, I get a 404 error. Strangely, if I navigate using buttons from the homepage, the subpages load without any problem. So the pages do exist and work internally. It seems like this might be a routing or rewrite issue, maybe related to how static sites are handled.I’ve tried different prompt variations and structures but couldn’t solve the issue. What I want is simple:When a user types www.**********.com/blog directly into the browser, the blog page should open without a 404 error.Has anyone experienced this with Figma Make or knows how to solve it? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Subject: Request for Billing Adjustment for This MonthHi Figma Support,I hope you’re doing well.We have just started our new monthly cycle and are preparing to make this month’s payment. However, because we removed two users a bit late, the billing calculation is showing an incorrect amount.We kindly request that you review and adjust the payment amount for this month.Thank you for your help

Hello fellows, i have designed below illustrator and wanted to digitize it on the back of a t-shirt and maybe on cap. Do you guys know anyone to do that for me? free or paid maybe? 

The instructions page for saving a local copy does not mention this anywhere. But I’m wondering what “save partial file” actually does. I had always assumed that it would at least save the variables, but not any image assets. But I would like confirmation on this. Sometimes I clone a file just for the variables (dont need all the other stuff in it) and I use “save partial file” to do this quickly. Is this a safe assumption or??

When I move a design from Figma Design into Figma Make using an attached library and then bring the design back to Figma Design, all the components and tokens I previously used return as raw values, not as system tokens or components. Is there any way for Figma Make to preserve the library tokens and components? Otherwise, when importing the design back into Figma Design, I need to reassign all the components and tokens manually.

Hi Figma team I’m a paying user on a Full-seat account, and I’ve installed the correct Figma Desktop App (version 125.10.8). Still, I do not see any AI / Make / MCP options in my sidebar or menus. I’ve confirmed that I’m not on an Education plan and that my seat type qualifies.Could you please check whether my account or workspace has been enabled for Figma AI / MCP features? I’d really appreciate activation so I can start using AI-powered design and the MCP server for integration with external tools (like Cursor).Thanks!Eleanor Broderick(redacted by the moderator due to PII)

I have a task that I’m looking to simplify as much as possible yet I'm struggling to find a solution. We are creating designs of static digital display banners, in lots of different sizes. I then have to present these in a Figma slide deck so that stakeholders can review. We create display banners in several different languages once that master deck has been approved.As the banner designs often require changes, I’d like to link them from a separate design file, so that when we make any changes, we can auto update them in the master deck. I know we can just make them into components and publish as a library etc. However, once we get one deck approved, I then have to do a new version for all the display banners to be done in a different language. So a new design file (for a different language) and a new deck, and I cannot see a way of doing this without basically starting the deck from scratch each time? I should point out that due to the sheer volume of banners we’re designing, it’s not

Hello, There is no option appearing under Settings → Accounts to delete the account, the last option appearing is “View history”! I’m using free version.

I’m suddenly unable to edit any text layers in Figma, across all files, pages, and even brand new files—affecting both my main and secondary accounts.This has been posted by someone else previously BUT the fix that worked for them does not work for me.Please help, I have clients waiting for amendments that I cannot do for them 

Now that you know...Does that bother you?
