I’m on master component, but after the figma update I can't find "Create Property" and "Ignore auto layout" icon on right panel?  

I'm using Figma Make and encountered some problems: noticed there is an option to adjust the preview size, but I can't actually change it. The screen size appears to be fixed, and selecting the option doesn't let me resize the preview or set a custom screen size. I can't open the preview in full-screen view.   Is this a known issue, or am I missing a setting?Thanks!

Hello There, Need help in make the figma-mcp to provide the components details. We are using a Design System and using those DS components we are designing our pages, As a frontend developer using claude to to connect with figma mcp and do the frontend development. I am not getting the details of the components in the page like variants, size, which are the properties defined in the Design System. Without much knwoledge about figma and did an analysis with claude and come to know the desing in the page has overwritten in the instances so it is differ from the main component, the figma-mcp will give a flat data instead of the properties choosen in that component. Also we can see there is a ‘i’ icon with the information in the figma that, “The border, text and layout in this instance differ from the main component.” When we connected with the designers, they are expressing that it is not possible. “It isn't feasible because the DS master components are designed with all possible variants

I am posting here because I haven't received a response from the customer service center yet. I requested a downgrade to the Professional plan—as the Organization annual plan can only be downgraded via a customer service request—but the process hasn't moved forward, and I’ve received no reply despite multiple chats and inquiries. I am very worried that this huge amount might be charged to my account. I’m posting here because I heard I might get a faster response.

does the limit of the timeline in motion only stops at 2000ms? if so then what’s the point of having an ability to zoom out all the way above 20000ms?(edit) nevermind, apparently there’s a form right beside the current timeline position to choose the max duration for it, it's just for some reason written in grey, i thought it’s unclickable

Why do I need to hire four senior consultants from McKinsey to figure out basic things about access, account permissions and seat permissions?And even then, this focus group of top-of-the-class consultants has only a 13% success rate??Do you know how much I pay for the McKinsey guys?? $2400/hour!! They have been at it for months and have made zero progress.Please Make Access Model Great Again! Not that I can remember a time where it was great, but every movement needs a good catch phrase. Join the MAMGA movement now!! 

Hello, I was charged $211 for an automatic subscription renewal that I did not intend to continue. I barely used the platform since the renewal as I wasn't aware of the charge. Could you please check my account and process a refund for this transaction? Thank you.

I am a physical product designer who is newly developing a design workflow system for my team on Figma. We previously use Google slides because our work is very visual based. the flexible commenting and image placement was very valuable. But, Figma will help us better organize and track a products conception and development, and why some didn't make the cut.  Let me be clear, these Figma design resources will never become actual user sites or interfaces, they are simply being used as a method of internal organization and record keeping for the design process. But, it also needs to have a presentable element for meetings for team feedback on designs in addition to the overall design development. I also have no prior Figma experience. I apologize for my poor explanations.  After watching the Figma Design for beginners 2025 course on Youtube, I have determined using components to create cards for the different elements in the design process is best. Card examples include: Collection origi

Hey everyone!Our team has built a multi-brand design system that supports three different brand themes, each with both light and dark modes.All our icons are created as unions. This helps preserve the color override when an icon is swapped inside a component. For example: all icons use the “icon” color variable by default, but within a success inline message component, the icon is overridden with the “icon-success” color variable (green), as the icon should always be green in that context. Swapping, say, a checkmark icon with “icon-success” applied for a shield icon retains the correct “icon-success” variable. So far, so good.However, when we re-theme the inline message component from Brand 1 to Brand 2, the icon switches to a different brand-specific variant from the icon component set. Here’s where things break: in component instances, the color override (“icon-success”) is lost during this brand switch, and the icon falls back to the default “icon” color variable — which in our case

This is an interesting challenge because enterprise users need confidence without seeing security warnings everywhere.In enterprise messaging projects we've worked on at MirrorFly, we found subtle indicators like encryption status, device/session management, and admin controls work better than overwhelming users with technical details.How do other teams balance security visibility and simplicity?

I have a quick question regarding Figma Make credits.I'd like to purchase additional credits, but only for one month, not for an annual subscription. The confirmation screen isn't very clear, so I'm not sure whether I'll be charged for just one month or for the entire year.I only need 1,000 additional credits for this month. Could you please confirm whether this purchase is billed monthly or annually?

Has anyone from the Figma team explained why the Remote MCP exposes creation tools (such as generate_figma_design and create_new_file), while the Desktop/Local MCP is mostly limited to design-context/read tools?Is this an intentional product/architecture decision, or are there plans to bring those capabilities to the Local MCP as well?

Is there a way to export a Figma Motion file as a .webp file?

Hi everyone,I’m currently working on a project where I need to extract content (text, images, and layout) from live webpages and bring them directly into Figma as editable assets.We tried using a few popular third-party plugins like Builder.io and html.to.design, as well as various Chrome extensions. However, we found them to be unreliable for our needs—they often break the page layouts, fail on complex CSS grids/JavaScript, or generate incredibly messy, unorganized layer structures that take too much time to clean up.I wanted to ask the community:Is there any native, Out-of-the-Box (OOTB) capability in Figma (or via Figma’s developer API) that allows for cleaner, structured web content extraction? Are there any enterprise-grade workflows, widgets, or lesser-known plugins that handle live web-to-Figma migrations smoothly without breaking the visual hierarchy? How are other teams handling the import of live web context into Figma for redesigns or audits?Any advice, or tool recommendatio

I am designing the UI for a puzzle game in Figma, but I'm finding it difficult to make the gameplay feel interactive during prototyping. Simple click-through prototypes don't really capture drag & drop mechanics, block placement, or the overall game feel.How do you approach this in Figma? Do you use interactive components, variables, smart animate, or any specific workflow to simulate puzzle gameplay before development?I would really appreciate any tips or best practices from designers who have worked on puzzle or casual games.

I've created a mask with two components: a picture and a filled rectangle.In the Desktop, in the fill property, I use the Solid component for the color and the pattern component with the mask described earlier.For some reason, it is displayed correctly in the editor, but when I switch to the preview mode, the pattern was still gone. I tried both the desktop version and the web version.The result is the same. Help with solving the problem please😢

Can I get refund from my professional account to starter account? Haven’t use any credits after payment.

Working through the information architecture for a booking-style app (think something like scheduling a service visit — a car wash slot, a fleet vehicle pickup, that kind of flow) and stuck between three structures. Curious how others here have approached this in Figma.The core flow: pick a service type → pick a time slot → confirm vehicle/location details → payment → confirmation. Nothing exotic, but the ordering and screen-grouping keeps feeling off — especially since I'm trying to reuse the same base components for both a simple car wash app booking and a heavier fleet management app assignment flow.Option A — Stepper pattern One screen per step, persistent progress bar at top, back/next navigation. Clean, predictable, but feels slow if the user already knows exactly what they want.Option B — Single scrolling form Everything on one long screen with collapsible sections (accordion-style), auto-expanding as each section is completed. Faster for power users, but harder to show validati

It look like this on drag. Check the link belowSo I made a carousel slider for a product card. It use to work fine but now it just weird. Instead of transition to the next card, it become the next card and the actual next card fade away. This might be smart animate misunderstand. I tried rename, redo, testing everything but nothing work.This is how I make the carousel:1. The card and their variants (name them 1-4)2. The card container (contain a big and a small variant)3. Create 4 instance of the card container, auto layout and paste them in a frame (convert to component)4. Add variants, then position them. Add on drag prototype, smart animate After a lot of testing I also found out that only the on drag from card 2 to card 1 is working as intended, not the other way around.Component link: https://www.figma.com/design/ErT0E7cpTOByCQBLE3d11t/Carousel-Component?node-id=0-1&t=IZRgpCbckGstqxXI-1

Hello guys, first time publishing here. I’m looking for a Design Community File of Information Architeture (or something like that) that looks like the images below. I don’t have acess to the original file and can’t find any resource on the community that looks like that.It is very helpfull to me to work on some low-level aprovements and stuff. 

I’m trying to find a plugin for exporting variables. I was very happy with Variables2css because it has alias fallbacks. But it won’t run at all if the file has extended collections. I then went down a wormhole trying to find another plugin, but all of the ones I tried (i must have tried like 6 of them) return “0 variables” or otherwise empty for the extended collections. I wanted to use Figma’s native export but it only outputs JSON, not CSS.

just need help , I know it’s not big , but if you can make both in same alignment?

For the second month in a row, Figma Make has consumed credits without producing any usable output. Instead, the project appears to revert to its previous state.I reported this issue previously, but the response from customer support was generic and did not confirm whether the technical team was able to identify the cause. Instead, I was told the issue was likely related to my internet connection, despite there being no conclusive evidence supporting that explanation.Figma has also refused to refund the credits consumed during these failed attempts, even though no usable output was produced. This means I am being charged for a service that was not successfully delivered.At this point, I would not recommend Figma Make until the product becomes more reliable and Figma adopts a more reasonable approach to resolving credit-related issues. It is a valuable tool when it works properly, but the continued loss of credits without receiving the expected output is making the service increasingly
