Hi everyone!As a beginner, one thing I struggle with is knowing when to stop making small changes to a design.I often find myself adjusting spacing, corner radius, typography, or colors over and over, even when the design already looks decent.I'm curious how more experienced designers handle this.Do you have a checklist before calling a screen finished? How do you know you're improving the design instead of just changing it? Has perfectionism ever slowed down your workflow?I'd love to hear how you decide when it's time to move on to the next screen instead of endlessly polishing the current one.

Hi everyone! As someone who's still learning UI design in Figma, I've noticed different workflows. Some designers start with simple wireframes and grayscale layouts before adding colors, while others seem to design with their color palette from the beginning.I'm curious:Which approach do you personally use? Do you think designing in grayscale helps you focus more on layout and usability? Or does working with colors from the start speed up your process?I'd love to hear how more experienced designers approach this and whether your workflow has changed over time.

Hi everyone! 👋I've been learning Figma recently, and there's so much to explore—Auto Layout, Components, Variables, Prototyping, Dev Mode, plugins, and now Figma Make.I'm curious: what was the one feature that suddenly made your workflow much easier when you were starting out?For some people it seems to be Auto Layout, while others say Components completely changed how they design.As a beginner, I'd love to know:Which feature had the biggest impact on your workflow? Was there anything you wish you'd learned earlier? Any beginner mistakes you see people make all the time?Looking forward to learning from your experiences!

Hey Figma community! 👋We’ve been focusing on UI/UX designs for enterprise-grade, real-time analytics dashboards. One of the biggest challenges from a design perspective is keeping the user experience instantaneous and fluid when users are filtering or drilling down into massive datasets.A smooth frontend experience relies heavily on a backend built for speed. Utilizing an OLAP datastore like Apache Pinot delivers sub-second query latency, which drastically reduces the need for heavy skeleton loaders or complex waiting states in our UI.However, maintaining low latency requires strong technical maintenance. For design and engineering teams looking to keep their real-time dashboards running fast, Ksolves provides dedicated apache pinot support. Their team offers comprehensive enterprise support for apache pinot, covering query optimization, index tuning, and zero-downtime cluster upgrades to keep your interfaces responsive.🔗 Learn more about their Pinot support solutions: https://www.ks

Hello Figma Support,I purchased a monthly Professional subscription, but my account is still showing the Free plan. I have already completed the payment, however my workspace has not been upgraded.Please check my account and activate the subscription if the payment was successful.Thank you.

Hi eveyrone,I’ve started by drafting/prototyping in Figma Make, and have moved things forwards really quickly. I’d now like to move the screens into more of a workable space where I can see/edit all screens to take them from initial concept to my own specific design and see noodles linking screens together. Do you know if it’s possible to move the files across? Or am I better taking screenshots and starting from scratch? 

Hi everyone,I'm currently designing a series of educational graphics in Figma for a parenting resource focused on skincare for tweens and young teens. The objective is to present practical health information in a way that's easy to understand, visually engaging, and accessible across both desktop and mobile devices.The graphics include:A simple morning and evening skincare routine Ingredient comparison cards Product comparison tables Icons representing hydration, sun protection, and sensitive skinOne challenge I've been thinking about is how to make educational content feel approachable without overwhelming the reader. Parents often scan articles for quick answers, so I'm trying to create layouts that are clear, informative, and easy to follow at a glance.I'd love to hear how others approach similar projects.Do you find illustrations or real product photography more effective in educational graphics? What typography or spacing techniques help improve readability for content-heavy desig

anyone ?

Hello! I am somewhat new designing stuff in Figma, and I have an issue with some animations.I animated a velocimeter in the Motion section to play just when clicking on it, but every time I open an overlay on the same page it triggers the animation to start all over again. I don’t really know how to stop it, and need some help because I couldn’t find any info about this issue.

Hi everyone,I’m experiencing a very frustrating issue with the html.to.design (by divRIOTS) plugin and would really appreciate any help.Here is my situation:I have been charged $18/month (most recent receipt: Apr 7, 2026 – May 7, 2026, Receipt [PII removed 2026/04/13 - AB]) The payment is processed via Stripe However, inside Figma: The plugin shows that I am NOT a paid user I do not see any active subscription under my account settings I tried to cancel: Checked Figma → Settings → Community → no subscription listed Opened Stripe receipt page → no “Manage subscription” or cancel option So currently: ❌ I am being charged ❌ I cannot cancel ❌ The plugin doesn’t even recognize me as subscribed This seems like a billing/account mismatch issue between Stripe and Figma/plugin.My account email: [PII removed 2026/04/13 - AB]What I need help with:How can I immediately cancel this subscription? Why is the plugin not recognizing my paid status? Is there a way to force unlink or reset the bill

If I create a brand-specific generative plugin, can I use that plugin’s sliders and controls in a template I send to Figma Buzz, so non-designers can use the plugin when creating assets?If so, how do I do this? I’m not looking to publish a plugin for everyone to use.

Knowing that currently figma make using React framework to build the applications, is there anyway export it to vue.js ?

Hi, I subscribed to the Collab seat thinking I was still able to edit my files but clearly that’s not the case, so I upgraded to the Full seat almost immediately. This month I’m being charged for the Collab seat, and next month I will be charged for the Full seat on top of the Collab seat, then a separate Full seat for that month. Both Full seat costs are the same price. Why am I being charged extra this month? Am I able to get a refund on the Collab seat?

Hello community,I'm redesigning the graphics for my event organizing business, including hero banners, icons, category graphics, and promotional visuals. My goal is to give the site a more modern look while keeping everything visually consistent.For those who've done a similar refresh in Figma, how do you keep all of your graphics aligned with the same style? Do you build a small design system first, create reusable components, or follow another workflow?I'd love to hear how you approach this.

Hi everyone,I've been working on a series of educational health infographics in Figma and wanted to get some feedback from other designers who create informational content.One of my recent projects focuses on helping parents understand when kids should start using deodorant. The infographic was created as part of an educational campaign for PreReq Care, a skincare brand for pre-teens and teens. My goal was to make a topic that could easily become text-heavy feel simple, approachable, and easy to understand within a few seconds.The biggest challenge wasn't the visual design itself. It was finding the right balance between providing enough information and keeping the layout clean and easy to scan.Here are some of the design decisions I focused on:Creating a strong visual hierarchy so readers know where to look first. Breaking complex information into short, digestible sections. Using icons and spacing instead of large blocks of text. Choosing soft, approachable colors that appeal to pare

I made a mistake of connecting my personal repository and can’t seem to disconnect it. How do I do it? 

Hi Figma Community!I'm working on a design-to-code automation tool and would like to integrate with Figma's Model Context Protocol (MCP) endpoint.The IssueWhen requesting the mcp:connect scope during OAuth authorization, I receive:{"error": true,"status": 400,"message": "Invalid scopes for app"}OAuth App Details:Redirect URI: http://localhost:3000/callback Current working scopes: files:read, file_comments:write Blocked scope: mcp:connectQuestionsIs the mcp:connect scope available for third-party OAuth apps? If restricted, is there a beta program or application process? Is this scope only available to official Figma extensions (VS Code, Cursor)?What I've Tried Standard OAuth flow works fine with public scopes  Got valid Bearer token  MCP endpoint (https://mcp.figma.com/mcp) returns 401 with www-authenticate: Bearer scope="mcp:connect"

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

[Figma Make + Supabase] 게시글이 새로고침하면 사라지고, 다른 기기에서 안 보여요 (Claude와 같이 해봐도 해결이 안 됐어요)제가 원하는 것학생자치회 통합 플랫폼을 만들고 있는데, 누군가 게시글을 올리면 그 글이 사라지지 않고 계속 저장되면서, 다른 사람이 다른 기기/브라우저로 접속했을 때도 똑같이 보이길 원해요. 지금은 새로고침하면 방금 올린 글이 사라지고, 다른 브라우저로 열면 그 글이 아예 안 보여요. 즉, 데이터가 여러 사람/기기 사이에서 공유되고 계속 남아있는 게 목표예요.지금까지 시도한 것Figma Make 설정에서 Supabase 계정을 연결했어요. Figma Make AI에게 "게시글을 슈퍼베이스에 저장하고 모든 페이지에서 공유되게 해달라"고 요청했어요. AI가 백엔드(서버 쪽 로직) 코드를 새로 짜줬고, "이제 Edge Function을 배포해야 한다"고 안내했어요. Figma Make 화면에 있는 배포 버튼을 눌렀는데 "배포할 코드가 없다"는 메시지가 나왔어요. 그래서 슈퍼베이스 대시보드에 직접 들어가서, Edge Function을 새로 만들고 AI가 짜준 코드를 그대로 복사해서 붙여넣고 배포까지 완료했어요. 그런데도 여전히 게시글이 새로고침하면 사라지고, 브라우저 콘솔에는 CORS(브라우저가 다른 주소로 요청 보낼 때 막히는 문제) 관련 에러가 계속 떠요. Claude(AI 챗봇)한테 상황을 계속 설명하면서 같이 시도했는데도 해결이 안 됐어요.궁금한 점Figma Make의 배포 버튼이 원래 자동으로 해줘야 하는 걸, 제가 슈퍼베이스에 직접 들어가서 수동으로 배포한 게 맞는 방법이었는지 잘 모르겠어요. 이렇게 수동으로 배포한 경우, Figma Make 쪽에서 추가로 다시 연결하거나 설정해줘야 하는 게 있는 건지 궁금해요. 비슷하게 "게시글이 저장 안 됨 + CORS 에러" 겪으신 분 있으면, 정확히 어떤 부분이 원인이었는지 알고 싶어요.
