Smooth out hand-drawn curves to make a clear result. I know we can remove anchor point with ⇧⌫ but it’s too slow. What's equivalent of "Smooth Tool" in Illustrator?   

I’m on a tight budget, so I can only use the free plan. Can I still share a link to my prototype for people to only view it on the free plan? I only need people to use the prototype to see how my project works. I didn’t see on the free plan account about sharing prototypes because the website that leads to the plan information is not working properly.

I'm looking for help to add a MailerLite Embed to a section for Figma Site. I need to add a code snippet of "<div class="ml-embedded" data-form="FORMID"></div>" Thankes

Hello, I’m trying to prototype a certain button and it’s not working well. Could anyone help me?So for example, if I click 2, the 2 button gets the outline (the one 1 has now) and the 1 button should remove it. (I’m sorry for my English 😅) and vica versa. Could you please tell me how to do this prototype. The first part (2 getting an outline) was easy, but I don’t knowhow to do the second part (1 removing the outline when I click 2).

 I created this tooltip box (union of a rectangle and triangle). It’s set so that the text width adjusts according to the width of the tooltip box. I also want the size of the box to be adjustable, but am coming across 2 issues:Box height isn’t changing to accommodate the text line number increasing Triangle pointer doesn’t maintain same width I’m not sure what settings are needed to fix this. This is what I have currently:Autolayout of whole component. The text itself is set to fill/hug.

Hi! I’d like to have an information about The Figma education plan.I got it few weeks ago , and I think in the formular, there was a question about when I was gonna be gratuated.I put october 2025, cause was the planned date at the beginning, but I postponed my exam, and probably not gonna finish my school before middle of 2026, or end of 2026. How does it work in this case please? Do i have to ask to extend now? I’m scared than my figma access got cut in the middle of my year ^^ Thanks a lot!

Hi! I’m working on a prototype in Figma and could really use some help with two things:1. Clickable avatars with visible selection stateI’ve set up a screen where users can choose an avatar, and that choice correctly shows up later on the profile screen — so that part works!The problem: I want to visually indicate which avatar was selected (like showing a border around the chosen one, or lowering the opacity of the others). But the component already uses a variable to define which avatar is shown on the profile, so I can't figure out how to also show a visual selection state in the avatar grid at the same time.2. Showing typed name on profileI have a text input field where users can enter their name. When you type and press Enter, the name gets stored — that part works.But I don’t know how to show that input value under the profile photo on the profile page.I’m not sure which layer to bind to the variable, or how to display the entered name properly.Here’s my file if you want to check

Hey guys, Is there a way to switch back to the old Figma UI? The new one doesn’t do it for me. I’m sure there are people who like it, but personally, I prefer the previous Figma look and structure. I really dislike the current look and feel of the new UI, not to mention its structture, the previous version was a lot more organized and a lot cleaner and more intuitive. Thanks, Chris

I received this alert for the first time today since working in Slides. It will no longer allow me to publish templates with components included on my slides. See the screenshot of the error. I don’t know if this is a glitch, but yikes! This is not good. Is anyone else having this error?

Hello my team is on a professional plan, it is possible to access to the new features releases at Config2025? I’m able to see AI -generate an image and such, Figma Draw, Figma Grid, however I’m not sure how I access Make, Website and Buzz as I understand until those are out of beta they will be available for full seat members, thank you. 

My file was randomly removed from figma. What is gthe best way to locate it and/or restore it into my files? This cost me an my team a decent amount of money and I would have to have lost it forever. PLEASE HELP!

I cant seem to find the option of "variable width strokes" in Figma draw. I created a stroke and went in the vector edit mode, I see all option except the “variable width stroke”. Did anyone else try using this?

Hello,Will Figma Site generated website’s content such as text, navigation, and images be accessible by VoiceOver? or is there a way to do so? I tested publishing a website from a provided template, and it seems to only read the links.Thank you!

为什么我选中了选型尺寸，但是没有在画布上显示呢

I’d really appreciate some help here, can’t get mobile prototyping to work in the way I’d expect. I am prototyping an app with a bottom anchored toolbar. As such, “Fit” type settings are critical to avoid users from missing these buttons. However, any combination of settings I try in prototyping (Fit, fill, presentation, different preset phone frames) do not actually fit my prototype within phones of varying sizes. Here’s an image of what I’d expect would happen. I’d expect a fixed ratio and I’d get black bars on the sides. This is pretty much how desktop prototypes show - they work on any screen size because the frame is fixed and fits to any window size, with black bars added as needed. Any help is really appreciated here. I don’t get how mobile prototypes could not support “Fit” in the way I’m describing, as that’d make testing anything with bottom-anchored toolbars/buttons much more unreliable based on phone size. Thanks for any input!

What’s the way to add an effect (Drop shadow, background blur, etc) on an interaction (While hovering, On Click, etc)?My goal is to reduce the inane amount of variants I have to create to simply to have a hover color or shadow. 😓

I was checking out this site for something unrelated — just doing a quick fesco 2024 bill check — and it got me thinking: why do so many billing history pages feel like spreadsheets from 2004?There’s a ton of opportunity to clean up how historical utility data is displayed. Stuff like monthly charges, payment status, due dates — it’s all super useful, but the design is usually overwhelming or just plain dated.Has anyone here worked on visualizing that kind of timeline-based data? I'd love to see how others are approaching it — especially for mobile, where scrolling endless tables is a nightmare.Appreciate any insights or examples!

I know Slides has been around for about 5 minutes, but I can’t figure this out. Is it possible to add button interactivity to Figma Slides - like having a ‘overview’ slide with links to individual slides later in the presentation? Right now, it seems to only support linear progression. Basically, I’m looking for way to add a “jump to this section” button that skips around the presentation.

Hi everyone,I'm working on a prototype for a mobile video editing tool and trying to simulate real editing flows (trimming, transitions, filters) in Figma. So far, auto-animate and some interactive components are helping, but syncing complex interactions like filter overlays and multi-track timelines is tricky.I’m also referencing tools like the (capcut-style editor from capcapk). I’m curious how others approach designing for mobile video UX in Figma—do you simulate drag handles, timelines, or use external embeds for previews?Would love to see if there are plugins or workflows that help bring these ideas closer to real interaction modeling.

Hi everyone – I’m in a finance-focused role where I spend a lot of time building decks. Like, 90% of my job is making PowerPoint presentations. And honestly… I’m tired. PowerPoint just feels slow and clunky, especially when you’re making small visual adjustments over and over.I’m seriously considering switching to Figma to speed up my workflow and make things more enjoyable. But I’ve hit a few snags that I’m hoping you all can help with: Company Template: We have a corporate PowerPoint template that includes a branded background and logo placement. In PPT, I just start with the template file. How would I recreate that in Figma so that every new slide starts clean with our design? Excel Charts & Graphs: One major thing keeping me in PPT is the ability to copy/paste charts straight from Excel. It keeps all formatting and is easy to update. Has anyone figured out a good workflow for bringing charts into Figma—either as editable visuals or quick screenshots that look good? Tables i

I’ve been building out some interactive prototypes in Figma and working with a team that uses a sandboxed environment for launching and testing desktop app behavior. We're trying to ensure that the UI flow feels native even in isolated test environments where system hooks are limited.One tool that's come up in our workflow is the bloxstrap launcher, which helps manage these kinds of setups. While it’s not directly tied to Figma, it’s been helpful for replicating conditions that affect how our app will behave once deployed on Windows machines with tighter controls.Has anyone else used sandbox or custom launchers while testing Figma-to-production workflows? Curious if there’s a more integrated way to bridge Figma with those kinds of environments.Appreciate any insights!
