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.

Hug & fill shortcuts are really nice, but i dont want to have to keep reaching over to the right hand side panel every time i want to quickly change my autolayout from vertical to horizontal. I think a lot of people feel this too! If it already exists please let me know i will give you chocolate cake frs

As a paying customer and a very unwilling Figma support, I would like to publicly ask for sending invoices per email. This is best practice for all bigger online services and it’s frustratingly annoying to collect every single invoice. Regarding the amount of customers, this would probably save thousands of hours on the customer side every month. So again: Please send us an PDF! Thank you

Hi all, I’ll try to keep it short and simple — I couldn’t find anything that directly addressed this issue, but in my opinion the way masks work in Figma is not optimal. Full disclosure, I come from a very comfortable with Adobe Illustrator angle (which essentially established the standard way to apply masks as far as I’m aware, and with good reason). The problem with needing the mask object under the object that is being masked, is that the mask object will invariably be smaller than the target object, and therefore this makes it extremely fussy to both select the correct items for masking and editing the mask layer itself. Once a mask is applied, to edit the vector points of the mask, the only way I can see is to find the mask layer in the layers panel and hit enter or the “edit object” button in the toolbar. This is a serious workflow killer when considering you could just double click into the mask object had it been on the layer above. That’s it! Please consider changing the mask

When using the CMD K, I would love to be able to type a figma file name and quickly open it 

Hi,The addition of annotations and measurements to Design mode is such a great decision.However this is rendered almost useless if the annotations and measurements can’t be made visible to View Seat users.Often annotations are used for communication with a range of stakeholders, not just designers and developers. It’s not viable to upgrade every stakeholder to a Full or Dev seat to engage with this content.

Hi Folks,I’d like to propose a feature that would improve navigation within large design files.Often, while working on a complex Figma file, I need to quickly return to a previous view or jump forward again without manually scrolling through the canvas. It would be helpful to have a dedicated option similar to a browser’s back/forward button, that allows seamless switching between recently viewed areas of the file.This would save time and enhance workflow efficiency, especially when handling files with extensive UI screens.What are your thoughts?

I'd like to suggest a feature that would significantly improve collaboration in Figma.Currently, when I return to a Figma file after some time, it can be challenging to quickly identify what changes the team has made since my last session. Scrolling through the entire file to find recent updates is time-consuming.It would be incredibly helpful to have a feature that visually highlights all new modifications made by team members since I was last active in the file. This would allow us to catch up on progress instantly and streamline our collaborative workflow.What are your thoughts on this?

Would be awesome to support a Webp file when exporting images like Sketch. (without using any plug-ins)

Problem As a designer exporting assets for web development it’s frustrating having to either export with no control over the file size and reduce later in photoshop, or pay for an image compressing plugin that is helpful, but exports as zip files so the file management gets messy quick. Solution Have more expansive export settings e.g. slider for image quality and file size calculated in real time with slider - similar to photoshop. Might just be me but I sorely need this functionality, especially during the rapid part of a project which is the design to developer hand over. Does anyone else have this problem? 🙂

The lack of flexibility drives me insane;1.  I cant change the size of a nested component (you have to make sure its the same size for every option but thats not actually how things work)  (min maxes make this extremely painful)2. If I make a list component its a pain to change the content in the lists in a component (no matter how many plugins you use, and also you cant use the AI feature for this and it would be cool if you did) - basically what ends up happening here is you create a ton of booleans (making a component a mess; especially if its a nested instance) instead of giving the user more flexibility)3. The lack of collapsing nested instances shown in the sidebar; sometimes you need them and sometimes you don’t so you just have a HUGE list of nested instances (especially in a table)The design system current functionality provides the user absolutely 0 flexibility who is creating user flows its asking to be detached; which leads to old outdated components and infuriating user ex

Hi,We have thousands of icons as components in our library that should not be linked via Code Connect.It would be great to have a way to multi-select them and apply a batch action, such as “Skip connection”.At the moment, I would need to click on each icon, select “Skip connection” on the next screen, then go back to the list… Something like this, used in combination with filtering by name would be great!Thanks

As a company, we don’t just use Figma for wireframes but also for presentations and FigJam Boards. It would be really helpful if we could mark files as “archived” that could then be displayed in grey, maybe also with a date, for when in our company history the file used to be relevant or current. It’s hard to keep track of “is this file still currently relevant or not?” Obviously we don’t want to delete old file since we still might want to go back to e.g. Team Workshops that we did 1 year ago, but also it would be nice to have them “out of the way” when searching for files that are currently relevant.

I have been playing around with creating variables but realized I would rather have groups in separate collections, but cannot move them. I would like to be able to duplicate an entire collection so I don’t have to manually re-create values and can remove what I don’t need from that collection OR simply be able to move groups into other collections.

I am using Figma from almost 2 years. It’s a great tool. Previously I was using Windows 10 yet recently switched to Linux(Ubuntu). Figma doesn’t have any official release for Linux. There are some Unofficial desktop versions but they are “BUGGY”. I request you guys to release an official Figma desktop app for Linux.

Dear Figma Team, I am working on a prototype for a complex financial product.As I add new features, bells and whistles etc. the prototype rapidly expands beyond MVP scope, into v1/v2/v3 + product iterations.So far, 80 individual version changes.As far as I can see, there is no neat way to create a branch off of a ‘master’ prototype that would allow me to break down an end to end prototype into MVP and future iterations of the product/ feature set.This would be very handy to showcase to stakeholders (business, product, tech) how the product would evolve and validate with users what are the most essential needs (MVP) versus nice-to-haves.If I duplicate the whole file and strip out what I have build back down to an MVP by rolling back to the earlier versions, those files are not part of a single prototype evolution. And if I roll back to e.g. version 10 out of 80 within the prototype, then I would change the file itself and have to keep going back and forth (and to precisely the right ver

Hi Figma Team,As multiple designers are collaborating in the same project and working within the same Figma file, we want to minimize errors and maintain consistency.Is there a way in Figma to easily identify who has worked on a specific part of the file (such as widgets, components, layers, or folders)?This would really help us track changes and maintain accountability across the design system.Thank you,Prashant

I always wonder why there are no diagonal rulers? it will be useful to have diagonal rulers

HeyI want to do the same result in the image but without outlining the text to path because i want the change the text on different instances. but i can’t do such thing due to the text size being fixed when scaling the container  

I was super pumped to start using grids for my layouts until I learned of one fatal flaw that killed my excitement :(  The inability to set a row height to hug is simply a deal-breaker for me. Also no variables support for gaps? really?

Can anyone figure out how to reorder the list of variable collection in the fill dropdown? The layer ‘mode’ assignment appears to sort correctly alphabetically, but the pick list under the fill menu does not, which is a huge painpoint, and will definitely lead to my designers picking the first color they see instead of the semantic one. Correctly sorted - numerical Incorrectly sorted - 2. is at the top instead of 1.

The title case isn’t accurate. As it also capitalizes: articles (such as “a,” “an,” and “the”) conjunctions (such as “and,” “but,” and “or”), and prepositions (such as “at,” “by,” “of,” “to,” and “on”). In my opinion, the better naming would be “Capitalize”. Figma team can also consider adding “Title Case” and “Sentence Case” options separately.

Can we please add an option to choose whether annotations sit to the left or right of frames vs above and below? My flows are aligned horizontally which means I have a million dashed lines running across each frame. If we could set annotations’ orientation then annotations wouldn’t clutter adjacent screens without having to hide controls. Yes, we could vertically stack our flows, but also (no thank you) that comes with it’s own issues.

Hi everyone,If I’m not mistaken, the only way to use variable logic to switch variants based on a variable mode is by creating a component, instancing it, and then connecting the variable to its properties.For example:I have a component called “Slider”, which contains two variants — iOS and Android.As a designer, I’d like to use the “Slider” component and set in my file the variable "system" to iOS.However, as a library maintainer, the only way to make this work is to create another component called “Slider”, then instance the original Slider inside it — which doesn’t make much sense.It would be great to have a property directly in the parent component that allows variable modes to work without needing to nest components inside each other.
