Quick Effects: faster access to commonly used effects (Blur, Shadows, Noise, etc.)

ProblemApplying effects like Blur, Drop Shadow, or Noise currently requires several clicks and searching in the right panel. This makes quick iteration slower, especially in UI design and prototyping.Who is affectedUI/UX designers, illustrators, prototyping teams — basically anyone who repeatedly uses the same effects.Current workaround Manually adding effects each time Creating effect styles or using plugins (but these are slower, less intuitive, and harder for teams to adopt consistently). Proposal Add Quick Effects: one-click buttons or presets for the most common effects (e.g., Blur 4 / 8 / 16 px, Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, Noise). Make them accessible directly in the Effects panel or via the Command Palette (Cmd+/). Allow teams to customize presets for their own workflows. Support applying them to multiple layers at once. Impact Saves time (multiple clicks per effect × dozens of operations per day). Improves design consistency across files and team members. Makes Figma

Auto Layout Grid - Column hug to content

Hello! 🤠I was very excited to see the addition of Auto Layout Grid today! Having flexibility for both Rows and Columns at the same time is a game changer.That said, I immediately ran into not being able to set a column width to “Hug” within a table, which is a bummer. In the attached video, I want the “Audited By” column to Hug to the longest table cell content. I show both the current solution today, and what I am trying to do with Auto Layout Grid.I can manually adjust the width of the column, I guess, but as you can see, it makes it hard to ensure correct padding without a lot of careful tuning of the width. Anyone have any solutions? Will this be coming as a fast-follow feature? Thank you!

Better smart animation for stroked objects

Currently morphing for filled objects is relatively ok with smart animate. But for any stroked object, there is a ghosting that happens, and a low res pixelation as well between frames. This is very limiting in terms of animation design for any kind of object that is morphing from one state to the next in size and shape. Example if filled transform Example of stroked transform

Offline Capabilities

Hello, I am CiCi. Sometimes my connection is unreliable, or I am travelling. It would be nice to be able to use Figma offline. I don’t see the point of having an app taking up space on my computer that doesn’t work without internet if I could just go to the browser, instead. If it had offline capabilities, it would make perfect sense to have it and it would be greatly appreciated.

Improving organisation of files by making it clear what team and project they belong to

It would be more useful if wherever a file was shown in the dashboard, its project and team was shown underneath it. For example, our structure is often… Team: Client name Project: Capital projects File: Product page redesign When I add ‘product page redesign’ to my favourites or when seeing it in the recent files list, it’s can be confusing to understand what team or project it’s part of. I’m often lost in a grid of ‘Website Redesign’ files and having to squint at the thumbnails to figure out what file it actually is. Sure, I could prepend every file with the client name e.g. Client name: Website redesign. But this seems like a poor workaround as it’s repetitive and means that the number of characters that will show the actual file name will be reduced as they are truncated. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks

Expose/hide nested instances -> at component property level

With the new update, we have a great new feature, but unfortunately, it’s not usable with our component structure. Exposing all props of a nested instance also exposes props that we don’t want in the context of the consuming component. What if we could also select which properties to expose? This would lead to a cleaner sidebar with only valid props.

Option to expose or hide nested component properties

Hey there! I was also wondering if it is somehow possible to include also the layer of variant controls to be exposed or hid! I often have cases where I need to nest base components e.g. an icon wrapper providing me with the ability to select certain sizes, or color overrides and boolean props of an icon. I am now able to expose all of those or none, but I can’t restrict the users to only be able to select just some of those. What do you think about it?

Be able to override the weight used on the New cmd+B feature

In our system we use a medium weight of 500 which indicates Bold for our brand. Is there a way to control the new cmd+B style when applied to a text string and not use the currently assigned 700 (Bold)? Thanks

Create SubFolders / Organizing Your Workspace and Adding Folders in Figma's Drafts Section

Figma is a powerful design tool that allows designers to create and collaborate on projects seamlessly. However, as the number of projects grows, organizing your workspace can become a daunting task. Finding specific projects can be difficult, especially if your workspace is cluttered and disorganized. Fortunately, Figma provides users with the ability to create folders and subfolders to keep their projects organized and easily accessible. One of the most useful features of Figma is the ‘Drafts’ section, which allows you to save incomplete or unfinished projects. This feature is especially handy when you need to work on multiple projects simultaneously, but don’t want to clutter your workspace with unfinished designs. The ‘Drafts’ section gives you the ability to save your progress, so you can come back to it later. To add a folder to your Drafts section, follow these easy steps: Click on the ‘Drafts’ section located on the left-hand side of your Figma dashboard. Click on the ‘Create

Make Dev Mode Annotations Visible to All

Please make Dev Mode Annotations visible by all roles, not just Full Dev Mode seats. This can become costly for users needing context but not all the other dev-mode features. Here’s the scenario: We have a dashboard, with cards showing a customer’s account status. This status can be mapped from multiple back-end statuses, to show just one front-end status. For example, any of the following could be mapped to a single status known to the customer as “Completed”: canceled, terminated, sold, complete, etc. This is something that the developer needs to reference, but then also the PM needs to reference in writing tickets (who doesn’t need full dev-mode access), the QE needs to reference for testing automations, and various other individuals on our team. Placing it in a comment makes it less clearly attached to the specific piece of the design, and requires us to keep documentation dispersed among different tools (Jira, Confluence, Figma etc). Simply making Dev mode annotations visible to v

Choose default export file type (graphics)

How about the option to choose which export file type is the default when exporting graphics? (i.e. SVG or PNG rather than JPEG) … this would make our devs REALLY happy! 🤩

Stroke Joining : Ability to Seamlessly Join Two Strokes

Currently, Figma does not support a direct way to join two different strokes together. This makes it difficult to create clean and continuous vector paths when working on illustrations, icons, or custom shapes.The proposed Stroke Joining feature would allow users to select two open stroke endpoints and merge them into a single, seamless path with proper alignment. This would work similarly to the "Join" tool in vector software like Illustrator, making vector editing faster and more precise.

Allow bulk editing text styles

Now that we have variables support for text styles, it’s taking a while to update all the properties to match text variables. It’d be really, really helpful to be able to apply variables to multiple text styles at once, by selecting all font styles that we want to apply a variable to and editing the property, since most of these are shared between different styles. With that feature, text migration to variables would be super easy and seamless.

Main frame/artboard size variables (for various devices)

Hey, I’ve got a feature that could be quite handy for me, and I believe others might welcome it as well. Since we have got variables with different modes, it is a shame we cannot apply those to the main frame in which we design the UI. As one designs on eg. 1920px width, the design is not comfortably viewable on MacBook’s 1512px default resolution - it is either with black bars around (fit width, fit height) or the design gets cropped and horizontal scroll appears (responsive, actual size). It has to be then either viewed in this distorted view, or you have to change the canvas width. What I suggest is being able to apply variables width and height (together with min. & max values) onto the main artboard as well - designer can then create tokens, eg:Width (1200; 1512; 1740; 1920)HeightMin/Max height (932 - for users on 1920 res screens on Chrome with a bookmark bar, 832 for users on Macs with chrome with 1512 res)and resize the canvas on two clicks in the appearance panel. When thi

Video editing in figma

I’m a hybrid UI/UX designer, and part of my work includes creating digital assets (like instructional gifs / videos, product launch gif). Right now I design in Figma but then have to switch to other tools (Premiere or After Effects) just to put videos together. When it comes to prototyping, it requires higher effort to update these contents and makes collaboration harder. It would be amazing if Figma had some basic video editing features built in—nothing too heavy, but enough to:Trim and stitch clips together Add simple transitions or motion Layer text, images, or overlays Drop in audio tracks Dev friendlyIt’d be super useful for teams like mine that work on both design and content, and it could save us from jumping across multiple apps.

Allow Dynamic stroke on fills and paths, not just strokes.

I love using Figma’s dynamic stroke to create textured edges. But it only works on strokes not fills or paths directly.I’d love the ability to apply Dynamic Stroke to a shape’s outline without needing a stroke, so I can combine it with effects like inner shadow, layer blur, or drop shadow.The current workaround (outlining the stroke and converting it to a fill) is destructive and makes it hard to tweak later.

Disable split screen view mode

I’d like to be able to disable the split screen option so that dragging a tab doesn’t move things into split screen mode, just opens a new Figma window like it used to. Alternately, dragging the tab far enough away from the bar should imply a new window, while leaving plenty of space closer to the top available for split screen. It’s disorienting every time I think I’ve dragged it to a new window and the file still opens in split screen.

Allow SVG as Image Fill

I have a few SVG shapes as part of the branding for a project I am working on. I’m in the process of building out a component library and for the primary CTAs, one of the shapes will be the background for the CTA. That white background would typically be a solid fill with border radius, and using Auto Layout would be able to grow and shrink based on the label overrides per instance. However, I am unable to get an SVG working as the frame’s fill. It does allow me to “Choose image” and select the SVG but it never displays. From the docs, there is no mention of using SVG for this, as opposed to PNG, JPG, etc, and I don’t see why we can’t use an SVG as a fill.

Remove automatic absolute positioning in autolayout

I’ve noticed Figma adding absolute positioning to certain elements in an autolayout frame automatically. This is unexpected, unpredictable and simply annoying behavior. Adding several more steps to creating a simple autolayout. Most autolayout frames don’t have an absolute positioned element. So it would be best to leave this button as a manual toggle. I’d be happy if we could turn this behavior off via a user-setting. Vote for the feature request if you agree!
