Figma Make works slow after many iterations.

Very low performance speed in Figma Make when the thread reaches large sizes (currently 230+ iterations). All actions in the chat area occur with a significant delay (typing, scrolling, etc.), making it impossible to work. However, the prototype itself works well within FM. Has anyone encountered this? What could be the cause? Could it be related to the power of the laptop?

Figma Prototype URL differentce

Hi Everyone I have one question for Figma URLs. I created a workflow journey in a Parent Page and generated the Prototype URL. After review I duplicated the page and made the updates in the duplicate page. After of the duplicate page workflow, I copied all the screens in the duplicate page and pasted them in the Parent page, after removing all the original screens in the Parent Page. And generated the Prototype URL again. Here the problem starts, the original URL and the present URL becomes different. Please see the comparison of the 2 URLs below in the uploaded screen. The viewport data and node ID changes. Any idea why this is so, when Figma claims that the URLs would remain same.

Library name for linked component

I am building a plugin that identifies whether a component is linked to a design system library. If the component is linked to a library, I want to identify the name of the library it is coming from. For example, if I use a component from the iOS design system library in my design file, I want to detect that it's linked and show that the component is from the “iOS” design system. How do I get the library name from the node?

Figma Sites iframe shows wrong version of Spline scene (missing effects, background transparency, and Spline watermark stays visible)

Hi all, I'm working on a portfolio page in Figma Sites and using an iframe embed to include a custom Spline scene as a visual background. The scene is published and works perfectly when opened directly via the public link: https://my.spline.design/untitled-bn0gMdBuIbeq0O9LHbaEiPj5/ Transparent background Real-time effects like pixelation, chromatic aberration, vignette No “Built with Spline” watermark (disabled in export settings) Clean visuals and correct aspect ratio But when I embed this same scene in Figma Sites using the HTML block, I run into issues. Issues in Figma Sites iframe: A white background appears, despite the canvas and scene alpha being set to transparent. The Spline watermark is still visible, even though it's turned off in export. Visual effects (like glow, hue shift, pixelation etc.) don’t show at all. Even when using the correct embed code or hosting the scene manually with spline.runtime.js, Figma Sites seems to render a limited or outdated version. Changing the U

Can I merge "Figma Make" files? is there an easy or possible way to do it?

First off: with it being named “Make” it is impossible to search up anything to do with the tool. I really like it though, and am learning a lot. I wanted to see if there was a way that I can merge or copy and paste from one “Make” file to another.

Spacing between paragraph/subheading and body copy

Hi! I am trying to change the space between a sub headline and the body copy. If I place an ordinary return after the headline it makes the space to high and if I make a soft return (with the Shift+ Return keys) it is too small. How can I regulate the space after a headline and even the space before? I tried changing the paragraph spacing in the text style but it doesn’t do anything to my subheadline, although I manage to change the Main headline in the text style and it changes and looks better as seen below? What am I doing wrong? And how can I change the space after a headline and even the space before? Here you see the bold sub headline (with hard return) and you see spacing is the same above and under and too much away from the connected body copy. And for the Main headlines you can see that the space above is different from the space below towards the body copy that it is connected to. With a soft return I get it closer but too close to the body copy?

Instance swap issue. Height set to fixed

I’m experiencing an issue with an instance swap property in Figma. I have a Card component with Auto-layout (width: fixed, and height: hug). It wraps an instance of a component associated with an instance swap property (width: fill and height: hug). When I create an instance of Card and change the inner instance through the instance property it works fine the first time. From there, if I change it again, Figma sets the height of the inner instance to fixed. This crops the content. Does anyone knows why this happens and how to fix it? Is it a bug in Figma? File here: https://www.figma.com/file/eikqjwKX167uMlUeiGRUOM/instance-swap-issue?type=design&node-id=0%3A1&mode=design&t=4douRHhJOBFMc5Oa-1

The panel “properties” on the right side is not available, I cannot make it to appear, It doesn’t matter if there is a selected object or not. This happens in any project, new or existing or even in a copied project from other teams. I can’t find the option of activating the properties from my two accounts below (notobd4x4@gmail.com and obandemanny17@gmail.com) kindly look into this please.

Figjam Icon Card

I'm trying to figure out how to create those icon cards in FigJam, it looks like the UX has changed. Previously, I could drag an icon and place it inside a card-style component. But now, when I drag an icon onto the canvas, it just shows the icon with text below it - not the styled card I'm aiming for (see example below). I can still copy and paste older icon cards I created before, but I can't seem to change the icon within them anymore. When I try to replace the icon, it just swaps the whole card out for a plain icon instead. Has anyone figured out how to create or edit these icon cards atm? Icon Card that I want to use/create/modify Trying to change the icon (used to work like this) What it changes to now...

How to handle cookie consent (GDPR) in Figma Sites?

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m currently building my portfolio site with Figma Sites (loving it so far! 🎉), but I’m running into a GDPR question. I plan to add Google Analytics for basic traffic stats — which means I technically need a cookie consent modal for GDPR compliance (I’m in the EU).As far as I can see, Figma Sites doesn’t (yet) support any built-in cookie consent options. So my questions: How are others here handling cookie consent with Figma Sites? Is there any native solution planned? Have you successfully embedded 3rd party tools like CookieYes, Osano or others? Any tips or workarounds would be super appreciated! 🙏

Why has exports changed?

I used to be able to export the preview at a sensible size without any cropping of the images such as border radius, however, now, for some absolutely wild reason it includes the border radius….. this is a massive pain in the ass and requires a lot of efforts to export now when it was so simple. The alternative is we download the original which then comes out at 5MB and requires resizing. Image preview including crop radius - not good​​​​​ Component as displays on page Is there a solution to this? This has recently been happening on newer Figma files. Same designers, same issue on new files.

[meezo.fun apk] How to extract UI components and design tokens for a Figma case study?

Hey Figma community, I'm working on a personal project to create a detailed case study and I'm looking for advice on the best workflow. My goal is to deconstruct the UI of an interesting app and rebuild its design system in Figma. The specific app I'm analyzing is called Meezo.fun. It has a really unique interface and I believe it would make for a great learning exercise. I have the `meezo.fun apk` file, but I'm struggling with an efficient way to extract its core design elements. My current process involves taking dozens of screenshots, manually using a color picker for the palette, guessing fonts, and measuring spacing by hand. This is incredibly slow and often inaccurate. My question for the community is:**What is the best practice or toolchain for "reverse-engineering" an app's UI from an APK file into Figma?** I'm wondering if there are any plugins or third-party tools that can:1. Inspect an APK file to identify font names, sizes, and weights.2. Extract the exact hex codes for the

How flexible Figma sites for customization

Hi guys, does anyone know which plan includes the AI features and Figma Sites? just reading about Figma Sites for the first time. I’m thinking of moving my website from Framer to Figma, but I’m not sure if it’s the right move yet. Also, how flexible is Figma Sites for customization? Like, is it possible to add a form, connect input fields to Google Sheets (or something similar), and add custom links to CTA?

Newbie questions about how best to select, integrate and customise design kit for website

Hi I'm designing a website for a new training organisation. I'm fairly new to Figma, having come from XD and before that Illustrator/Indesign. I've created a set of medium fidelity wireframes for a website from scratch, and have set it up using components which I've built and with variables set up for text styles, colours and breakpoints. I would call the components I've made semi-responsive at best! I haven't added any interactivity yet. I'm about to start on the detailed UI design, and my developers recommended using a design kit for things like icons, date pickers etc for the booking system. I haven't used design kits (or Figma libraries) before, so have a number of questions... I'm planning to stick with my wireframes, and then to drop in and adapt elements from another design kit as needed. Does that sound like a reasonable approach? Or is it better to replace all of the buttons, text styles etc from the design. I imagine that the colours, text styles etc will most likely be set u
