HI Figma Team,I've been browsing the new Generative Plugin capabilities, especially the new Tools experience that appears directly on selected layers, and I'm curious about the roadmap for existing (classic) plugins.Is there a timeline or any documentation explaining whether classic plugins will eventually be able to use PropsKit and these new APIs? I've searched through the available documentation but haven't found anything that discusses migration or interoperability.My concern is that many developers have invested years building and maintaining classic plugins. The new Generative Plugin model is exciting and lowers the barrier for creating plugins, which is great. However, it feels like there isn't a clear migration path for existing plugin developers.It would be helpful to know: Is there a plan to expose PropKit and the new layer-level Tools APIs to classic plugins? Will there be an official migration path from classic plugins to the new Generative Plugin architecture? Or are t

Hi Figma team,I'd like to request a per-account option to disable the AI sparkle (✦) icon that appears when hovering over elements in the editor.Currently, the only way to turn off Figma AI features is at the team admin level, which requires admin access and affects all team members. There's no way for an individual user to opt out of the AI hover trigger on their own account.For users who don't use Figma AI, this icon adds visual noise to the editing experience and can interfere with the workflow — especially when working with dense layers or small elements, where the sparkle icon overlaps with other controls.Requested behavior: add a toggle in user account preferences (e.g. Account Settings → Editor preferences) to show/hide the AI sparkle icon on hover, independently from team-level AI settings.Thank you for considering this!

I have a question about AI credits usage when editor seats are transferred during a monthly billing cycle.Currently, we use a fixed number of editor seats in our account. When someone moves off a project, we remove or downgrade their editor license and assign that editor seat to someone else. So in practice, the seat is being transferred from one person to another within the same billing cycle.I wanted to understand how AI credits behave in this scenario.For example:Our monthly billing cycle includes 3,000 AI credits per editor seat Person A has an editor seat and uses 1,000 credits in the first 10 days On day 11, Person A is moved to a viewer seat or removed from the team Person B is then added as an editor using that same available seatIn this case, does Person B get:The remaining 2,000 credits for that seat/month, since 1,000 were already used by Person A A fresh 3,000 credits, because Person B is a new editor A prorated credit amount based on the remaining days in the billing cycle

In Figma Make, how do you delete extra or empty files from the code tree?I can’t delete them or prompt the AI to delete them successfully. I’d like to make sure they do not confuse future prompts.

Hi! I added my Framer portfolio website to my Figma Community profile using the new website link feature.Figma displays the website as an animated preview inside a laptop mockup, but my cookie consent popup appears over the website. The preview is animated, but I cannot interact with it or click “Accept cookies”.I noticed that other Community profiles show animated website previews without visible cookie banners. Is there a way to accept cookies inside the preview, make the preview remember consent, or hide the cookie banner only for this website preview?This is not about Figma Sites or an embedded Figma prototype. It concerns the animated external website preview on a Community profile.Website platform: FramerDevice: MacBrowser: ChromeThe same issue also appears in the Figma desktop app

When can Weave creators publish a custom 'Tool' in Figma, publicly?Is there documentation on how to do so?

Token-based authentication and MCPWe need to connect to the Figma MCP from Cursor. The current integration uses OAuth; we would prefer to authenticate with Access TokenIs there an official or recommended MCP solution from Figma that supports token-based authentication?

Hello!I’m new to Figma. When working on large-scale static asset projects like the ones described below, what are the best ways to save time? Does the solution involve using certain plugins?1. For example, 80 formats for Photo A, the same formats for Photo B, and the same for Photo C—all on the same page. Later on, the photos will need to be replaced with different ones.2. Same idea, but with text that needs to be translated into about ten languages.3. A combination of the previous two: images, text, and a logo that also changes depending on the language.Thanks a lot

Hi everyone,I've been working on improving the user experience of a buying guide for people who are interested in fishing drones, and I'd really appreciate feedback from designers who enjoy solving information architecture and UI challenges.Buying guides are interesting because they need to balance detailed technical information with a layout that's easy to scan. Many readers don't want to spend 20–30 minutes reading every paragraph. Instead, they usually want quick answers to questions like:Which model is best for beginners? Which drone has the longest flight time? Which one is best for saltwater fishing? What features actually matter for bait dropping? Is a premium drone worth the extra cost?As designers, we have the opportunity to make these decisions much easier through thoughtful layouts and visual hierarchy.One challenge I've noticed is that many comparison articles rely heavily on long blocks of text. While they may contain useful information, they can become overwhelming on bot

With more designers using local AI for UI copy, UX writing, design documentation, accessibility reviews, brainstorming, and coding assistance, choosing the right hardware has become increasingly important.One of the biggest questions is how much RAM is actually needed for a smooth workflow while running Figma and local AI tools at the same time.Here's a quick overview based on different workloads:16GB RAM – Great for basic UI/UX tasks, AI writing, small language models, and everyday design work. 32GB RAM – The ideal choice for most designers. It allows comfortable multitasking between Figma, browsers, design systems, and local AI applications. 64GB RAM or more – Best suited for professionals working with large AI models, multiple creative applications, or advanced AI workflows.It's also important to understand the difference between system RAM and GPU VRAM. While VRAM helps accelerate AI tasks on a graphics card, having enough system RAM is essential for keeping both Figma and AI appli

I paid someone to design my website, www. balinadurrmd.com, which is incomplete. The designer is listed as the owner, and I can only view it. I had been granted edit privileges, but that’s no longer the case. I need ownership of my website and access to make edits, and if I can’t gain control over my website. If there’s no resolution, what’s my option to release to my domain name from this website in order to create a new one? 

Hi, I can’t connect Figma MCP with Claude CLI, this is what I see in terminal: Details when I select Figma: Reconnecting gives me this error “Failed to reconnect to figma: HTTP 405 at https://mcp.figma.com/mcp”: In Claude Code connectors Figma is connected (not sure if it matters for CLI): Desktop server in Figma (not sure if it matters as it’s the desktop server): What I was able to achieve is to do this:  Anyway, I’m lost if someone could advise, it will be great.I’m not an engineer obviously and all I want is to use Claude CLI with Figma so it can edit Figma files. Cheers​​​​

Hello everybody,Using figma slide for presentation since couple of months, I just realise that figma slide is darkening the videos (of like 1 stop). Is there any way to fix / prevent this behaviour?Thanks a lot !

Hi, All my projects are gone, I dont have access to them anymore. They were really important to me and now i cant seem to find them. Please help me recover them. The trash is also empty. There are no deleted projects.It is very weird. All i get is this. message. Please help.

I've been trying the new Figma AI Agent, but I can't figure out how to undo the changes it makes.Regular Ctrl+Z / Cmd+Z doesn't seem to work for the AI-generated edits. Is there an undo/history specifically for AI Agent actions? How can I selectively revert some of the changes while keeping the rest? What's the recommended workflow if the agent makes a mix of good and bad edits? Would love to know how others are handling this.

I have been using Figma make for a project and its actually been great, but for the last week (started Monday, currently Friday) I have been getting the same error message! I have plenty of credits.  I have installed the app, restarted my router, called my internet people, logged a help desk reqeust and still no luck. I see a few other people have had the same problem, but there was no solution posted, it just started magically ‘working again’… so I’m hoping this post is the bit of magic I need to get cracking on with my project. 👯 

Why has my Figma desktop app suddenly stopped working over the past week? I opened the app one morning and to my surprise, the files kept on loading and loading. Even Figma home doesn’t load. Not a single file is loading and once I shift to Figma home, I am unable to shift back to my files. Attaching screenshots for reference. It works on the browser but the app isn’t functioning at all. Please help.

So in radian os there are 18 colors, it is a global design system, but if we had to make a variant for each color, lets say, for Front icon, flag, dot indicator, avatar, trail icon, cross, and so and so..there would be, 18colors * 3 sizes * 4 variants * 6 different badges = 1296 badgesI’ve seen in the figma keynote, that pulling just one instance will also pull all other in the component set, so should i make 1296 badges?or do the way i just did here, 3 bases, with each colored icons, avatars and more (the icon library & avatar library are all ready)does it also pull, the main components * base component ?(and i know the picture doesn’t show country flag, but it will be there in future)

Just been playing around with the new Motion feature and it looks pretty good for a beta - however I can’t quite understand how to use Motion for animating states on a component ie. hovers etc.I want an arrow on a button to move when I hover over the button. This currently doesn’t seem possible without using the old school prototype function instead. I would like to use Motion rather so that my developers can export out the relevant motion properties.  If I put the animation on the default component variant then the animation plays regardless.. If I put it on the hover variant then it’s all jumpy due to the prototype tool trying to animate it as well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  Help?  

I just opened the file I edited last night in Figma and found that it was mysteriously deleted or moved. Could I ask the staff to help me retrieve the file? Here is the link to my file. It's really an important file. Please help me get it back!https://www.figma.com/design/3ujhuyYU0689tCxeSMe2YP/Untitled?node-id=0-1&t=5vAOSGvpks4qruLx-0(Screenshots redacted by the moderator due to PII)

Hello,I’m a designer, I don’t need AI doing my work and nagging me constantly in the interface. It doesn’t work, it’s useless and I don’t want it.It’s relentlessly pushed in the interface at each update, more and more aggressively (i just had to disable AI agent on the canvas for being bale to work) .I don’t want any of these “features”.What can I do?Note: I already disabled the AI training.

Hi everyone,I’m running into an issue with the new Figma UI released around July 2026.In the desktop app / new UI, I’m trying to link a layer’s visibility to a Boolean component property inside a component, the same way we used to do before.The problem is that when I select the layer and go to Appearance, I don’t see any option to bind the visibility to a component property anymore.The only option I get is “Apply variable…”, which lets me link the visibility to a document variable, but not to a component property.I created the Boolean property on the parent component correctly, and I tested different cases: selecting a layer, a group, a nested instance, etc. Nothing appears in the new UI.However, when I switched to the web version, which still seems to use the old UI, I was able to do it without any issue.So my question is:Has anyone found where this option moved in the new UI? Or is this currently broken / removed from the desktop app?I’ve attached screenshots showing the difference b

Hi everyone,I’m working on a very specific requirement for an LCD screen prototype and I’m running into an issue with Figma exports.Here’s the context:I have frames sized 100 × 42 pixels. The goal is to export this frame pixel-perfect, because it will be displayed on a physical LCD screen of this resolution (not sure about the DPI but does it matter). It is meant to be a display test, all screens will be then coded on a framework for HMIs called emWIN, but we need to make sure the designs fit first.) The LCD only supports pure black or pure white pixels (no grayscale, no anti-aliasing). Every time I export from Figma (PNG or JPEG), the image gets blurred or anti-aliased, introducing grayscale pixels and round corners instead of sharp black and white. SVG is not an option because the final format must be flat rasterized pixels, not vector.Here are screenshots of my frames:Here is how they are exported by Figma in pngs: When magnified, we can clearly see this is blurred: The problem is t

Hey all,I’ve been diving into Figma Motion recently and wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing the same friction with timeline animations.Whenever I animate Position, Scale, or Appearance (like Opacity) from A to B, and then later to C, the plugin automatically applies continuous interpolation. It completely skips waiting at point B and just smoothly transitions through the whole timeline.My current workaround: I've been forcing a "hold" by dropping two identical keyframes side-by-side to trap the value and make it pause.My questions for the community: Who else has noticed this default behavior? Is there a cleaner fix, like a shortcut to toggle interpolation to "Step" or "Hold"? Thanks in advance for any tips!
