Suggest a Feature

Exactly what the title says. Figma already has a powerful API. Figma Sites is a great starting point but is missing a lot of functionality. Something missing in the new CMS is the ability to add data to the CMS using a REST API.Can the Figma team have a look at this? I think it would increase the value of the product. Best regards,R.

Id love to have scroll position as a variable so that i can make paralax effects and prototype interactions based on how far i have scrolled down a page. I know the new site feature offers paralaxing but why not include it in figma design so that i can show my prototypes fully functional.

Currently, using Figma component boolean properties, it only shows when true and hides when false. What if you could switch those around? For example, when something is true, it could show some elements, and hide others. For example, a product thumbnail- when “on sale” is true, show sale icon, show strikethrough price, but also hide original price and replace it with a bolded/colorful/what have you of price. Or if ‘Out of Stock’ is true, show all the ‘out of stock’ stuff material, but also hide the ‘add to cart’ button. Stuff like that. Currently you have to create new variants just to show + hide things at the same time, or add redundant switches like ‘In Stock’ and ‘Out of Stock’ and just make sure they never have the same state.

Hello Figma Team,I would like to request a feature where clicking a layer/frame in the left sidebar automatically centers or zooms the canvas to that selected object.This would be very helpful for large projects with many layers and frames, making navigation much faster and more efficient.Currently, users need to manually use shortcuts like Shift + 2 after selecting a layer.Suggested option: Add a preference setting: "Auto focus canvas when selecting layer" Thank you.

We raised it in the past:  Hi,We are integrating with Figma as part of our SSPM solution and need access to an API for organization settings and accounts, similar to the one used by the UI. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find documentation for this API. Is it possible to use a PAT (Personal Access Token) of an admin for this purpose? If not, do you have any plans to support this functionality?Thanks! Can you please give us some sort of roadmap for it?

I’d like to request enabling plugins in prototype mode. I’ve been working on a plugin called Punchcut Audio Player that allows users to prototype audio in design mode, and we’ve received numerous requests to extend its functionality to prototype mode as well. Prototypes are becoming more than a click-through of screens. We’re using them as story-telling tools, interactive exercises for user research, and demonstrations of multisensory/multidevice systems. With the addition of variables, prototypes could evolve even further. Given the current limitations of prototypes, my team is looking to other tools and workarounds to keep up with our changing prototyping needs, but we do want to stay within Figma. Over the past 2 years, it looks like others have been requesting features that would be solved by this as well:

I'd like to suggest a feature that allows users to select all objects connected by arrows or connectors in FigJam.Use case: When working with diagrams or flowcharts, it's often useful to select a group of connected nodes—for example, to move, style, or reorganize a specific flow within a larger diagram.Suggested behavior:Right-click a connector or node → "Select connected objects" Or: select a node, then use a shortcut/menu option to expand the selection along its connectionsThis would be especially helpful for large FigJam boards where manually selecting linked objects is time-consuming.Would love to hear if others have found workarounds, or if this is already on the roadmap!

Hey everyone,As a product designer working with a pretty large internal design system, I kept hitting the same limitation in Figma Variables: they’re great for static values, but the moment you want a scalable system (spacing scale, type scale, radii, opacity variants, responsive values…), you end up maintaining a ton of derived variables manually… or in spreadsheets.Variables Plus — a plugin that lets you define relationships between variables using formulas, so derived values stay in sync automatically when the base variable changes.Examples: space_2 = space_1 * 2, space_3 = space_1 * 3 h1 = base_font * 2.25, h2 = base_font * 1.75 col_w = (container_w - (gutter * (cols - 1))) / cols

User groups in the admin panel currently get an auto-assigned icon (a generic people silhouette) and a randomly assigned background color. It would be great to have the option to customize both, similar to how workspaces already support custom icons and colors. Why it would help:- Makes groups easier to identify at a glance, especially for orgs with lots of groups- Lets teams align group visuals with their internal branding or team identity (e.g. a "Design" group with a design-related icon, a client team with the client's brand color)- Reduces the confusion of having group names and colors feel disconnected (a "Blue Team" showing up with a green icon, for example)

Please can we get percentages for variables? We can use percentages manually, but we can’t create a percentage as a variable. This would speed up my design to dev process tenfold, and considering we can already use percentages in the design, why disallow it in variables?An example is I want store values for line height and letter spacing as percentages which behave responsively/dynamically, so when creating type variables I don’t have to do manual calculations, store 10+ letter spacing/line height values based on which font size they will be used with and hope I never change the font size variable in the future.

The descriptions written in variables should be shown when selecting/picking them in respective pickers - maybe as tooltip? Otherwise I don’t see, how this could be accessed/taken into account by the users of our library.The grid view of the color picker shows the actual name as tooltip for example. This could also be used to actually show the description. 

Hello Figma Team,My name is Faraz, and I am a UI/UX designer who frequently uses Figma for both design and animation. While I truly enjoy designing and animating in Figma, I often face challenges when developers request animations in GIF or video format with high resolution.Currently, Figma does not provide a direct option to export animations as high-quality GIFs. From a user’s perspective, this creates difficulties and forces us to rely on external tools such as Jitter or LottieFiles, which makes the workflow less efficient.I would like to request that Figma introduce an option to export animations directly as high-resolution GIFs. This feature would make Figma even more powerful and self-sufficient, eliminating the need for external animation tools and significantly improving collaboration between designers and developers.Thank you for considering my feedback.Best regards,Faraz

ProblemSlots are a powerful way to make components flexible, but today they are too open. Even when using Preferred Instances, designers can still insert any component or element into a slot. This flexibility often leads to misuse and breaks design system consistency—especially in large teams.Example:A Button component has an Icon slot.We want designers to use only approved icon components, but currently they can insert:Any other component Any vector or frame Any custom elementThis results in inconsistent UI, broken behavior, and extra review overhead for design system teams.Proposed FeatureAdd an option to restrict slot content to specific components or component sets.When creating or editing a slot, allow authors to:Define a restri

How easy would it be for Figma to have a simple item in the right-click menu (and main menu) for character count or word count? Surely there are plugins like Word Counter, the one that I just tried and it doesn’t work 🤬. And easy enough to do it on the web. But how about I select the paragraph I worked with and see how many words I have? Right there where I am working? Also, if this exists…educate me. 😉

As a file owner working on large-scale design files, managing comments becomes extremely time-consuming. In many cases, there are hundreds of comments across a single file, and resolving them one by one is not practical.Often, during the design phase, some comments are unintentionally left unresolved. Once the project is finalized, there’s a need to quickly clean up the file—but the lack of a “Resolve All” option makes this frustrating and inefficient.It would be incredibly helpful to have a feature that allows file owners to resolve all comments at once. This would save significant time, improve workflow efficiency, and help keep files clean and organized after completion. Would love to see this added 🙏

Hi Figma team,I'm using the Figma remote MCP server (https://mcp.figma.com/mcp) with Kiro (by Amazon). The connection works fine — I can successfully use read-only tools like get_design_context, get_metadata, get_screenshot, etc.However, I noticed that the use_figma tool (write to canvas) is not available when connecting from Kiro. According to the official documentation table at Guide to the Figma MCP server, Kiro's "Write to canvas" column is empty, while VS Code, Cursor, and Claude Code all have it enabled.I confirmed this by connecting the same MCP server from VS Code — use_figma appeared immediately with the full toolset. So the limitation is clearly on the server side based on client identification.Request:Please consider enabling use_figma and search_design_system tools for Kiro, the same way they are enabled for VS Code and Cursor. Kiro already supports Streamable HTTP MCP connections and handles tool approvals properly.Thank you for

It would be very helpful to be able to set all new files to be public/private by default instead of needing to go into every file and change that setting. Does anyone have any work arounds/automations/tips for doing this with a shortcut?

Hello, I’d like to suggest adding a Ukrainian version of Figma. This is mainly for the convenience of users whose English isn’t good enough to read and understand the tool’s names, and relying on translation tools isn’t always practical. Of course, it’s better to memorize the meanings, but that takes a lot of time and often leads to design errors.

Many developers have been asking for access to the file key from the Plugin API for years. The consistent answer is that file keys can't be exposed to public plugins for security reasons, and the only workaround is asking the user to paste the file link — which is frictional, unreliable, and doesn't survive file duplication.The core problemPlugins frequently need to associate per-file state (settings, subscriptions, licenses, local caches, external resource mappings) with the specific file they're running in. The current options all break down:figma.root.setPluginData — stored inside the file's content, so it's copied verbatim when the user duplicates the file. Any custom file ID we generate and store is cloned along with it. figma.clientStorage — scoped to the user's device, so it doesn't persist across collaborators, browsers, or machines. Useless for file-scoped state.

I can’t seem to change text colour inside shapes. I only get the option to change the background. The only way I was able to get it to work was to create a separate text layer change the colour there and then paste it inside the shape text area.

 When creating grids on Figma, it would be useful if one could pick a specific column or row and just drag it across the layout to reorder content.Sometimes the content is too complex to select each individual cell and just move it around with the arrow or dragging. It could be cool to drag the whole column or row to reorder content.I think this is a natural instinct for most people, and not being able to do it when designing is kind of restricting in my opinion. The handle could even be the current “circle” that appears above/aside the table.   

I’d like Figma components to support conditional/dependent properties inside the Properties panel.Current problem:Large design system components often expose many boolean, variant, text, slot, and instance-swap properties at the same time. Some of these properties depend on each other, but today they stay independent.Example:- If `Show Badges = false`, then `Slot Badges` should be hidden or disabled.- If `State = Active`, then `New Message`, `Show Separator`, and `Swap Icon` could automatically switch to predefined values.- If `Badge mode = Match`, then credential badges should be hidden automatically.- If one badge group is enabled, another mutually exclusive badge group should be disabled.Current workaround:We have to create more variants, nested components, or expose multiple booleans manually. This works, but it makes component APIs noisy and allows invalid sta

Copy/pasting prototypes is possible with simple click interactions, as explained here: Create interactions – Figma Learn - Help Center however this does NOT work for conditional interactions with multiple if/then/else statements, which is arguably much more important, as it takes way longer to reproduce/copy over to another component.

I wish I could use text string variables to manage common property names across component variants. Many components in my design system share the same properties (eg, theme: light/dark, state: default/hover/pressed, size: small/default/large), but I have to hand key each of these for each main component. I wish I could have a list of these property names that could be reused between components. Having that would:Reduce the amount of manual entry Eliminate potential for typos Ensure a consistent vocabulary that translates better to tokens/code semantics Increase likelihood of consistent component variable taxonomy
