Ability to change Auto-layout direction

Hi there!By that i mean change it from left to right and right to left for rows, and top to bottom and bottom to top for columns. For example it would be helpfull for components with icon+text like buttons. Instead of making variants with icon on the left and icon on the right we can just apply property attached to auto-layout direction.

Link textboxes in Figma

So If text overflows from one, it can show up in another textbox. This would be useful for two-column/grid composition and responsive layouts.

Improve PowerPoint (pptx format) Export Quality (Fonts & Effects)

When exporting Figma designs to PowerPoint, I’ve noticed a few issues that affect the final presentation quality: Fonts become smaller than intended Blurred backgrounds or transparent fills don’t render properly Overall, the visual fidelity of the export is lost In contrast, the Pitchdeck plugin handles these exports beautifully—fonts stay consistent, and effects are preserved. I’d love to see if there’s a way to either improve native exporting or perhaps collaborate/merge with the Pitchdeck plugin to make the export experience seamless. This would be especially useful for teams who use Figma for presentation design and want to maintain design integrity across formats. Would love to hear if others are facing the same issue or have found a workaround!

Option to disable "Image resized" when large images are brought in

I regularly need to work with screenshots of webpages, which can be a couple thousand pixels tall. I need these images to be actual size. Can’t do this in Figma cause it automatically scales large images down. I know there’s a plugin but this seems like a silly thing to rely on a plugin for, there should be an option native to Figma that lets us shut this function off. Or give us an option to scale the image back up to the original dimensions? (even if the quality’s going to get wrecked) This has been such a huge thorn in my side! Please & thank you!

Set multiple boolean variables at once via an interaction

At the moment my interactions look like this: Is there a way to combine them all in one action, so “Set Variable 1 and Variable 2 and Variable 3 to false” ?

Paste unformatted text into variables

Currently when I copy text that has it’s styling set by a variable in our component library then paste that text string into a collection it also creates an additional variables (and it’s associated modes). If we could lean on the standard Shift + CMD/Ctrl + V shortcut to paste without any formatting that would remove the extra step of deleting the erroneous variables or pasting the text elsewhere to remove the formatting and back into the collection.

Nested property hidden with multiple selection

Been playing around with the “expose nested properties” feature currently in beta. One of the great uses of variant properties is the ability to batch edit property values on multiple selected components. That use doesn’t carry over to exposed nested properties (yet I hope). Demo file to help When selecting one component instance exposing nested properties, said properties display fine. Add another instance of the same component to your selection (using Shift+Click), and the nested properties outright disappear from the right panel. I haven’t seen this issue raised elsewhere! Do you experience it too?

Set Default Text Properties

It would be awesome if we could set properties like font, size, alignment so everytime we start a textbox it would have all the properties already set. This exists and works with shapes for example, but the text ends up overridden by the last textbox you edited. Is there a way to workaround this or should it be a possible new feature? Thanks

Slides Layouts for Non-Designers

As I designer, I’m pitching to my company about the benefits of using Figma Slides instead of PPT. I created layouts with column breakdowns so folks can easily snap elements to pre-set 2 col, 3 col, 4 col. But when I turned off design mode, I realize non-designers don’t have access to this. They don’t have access to X,Y coordinates or width/height adjusters so it doesn’t seem to solve the problem of non-designers creating misaligned slides, unless I build out a bunch of components to block them from making mistakes.

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 n

Toggle visibility of DevMode Annotations on the design side

The new DevMode annotations tool is Awesome!!! Having lots of annotations tends to clutter up the screen on the design side, however, and it would be nice to be able to toggle their visibility on and off like with comments or multiplayer cursors. I had assumed that hiding comments would hide these as well, but such is not the case.

Adjustable/Custom-sized Figma Slides

I just want to adjust the page settings for each page “frame” so to speak so I can make it wider. It’s not clear that this is possible.

Allow just desired element to be viewed outside the frame instead of disabling clip content

I really love clip content, it keeps everything inside the frame. But sometimes I want some elements to be outside the frame eg: Menus. So what I do is disable clip content in the frame. but the issue is that right now every element will be outside the frame not just the menu (as shown in the pic) So If there’s a way to this it will be so helpful as I wanted this for long time!

Support configurable permissions when sharing a presentation (like you can on prototypes)

When we share links to prototypes in Figma Design, we can customize the sharing to be visible to people outside of our company (great for usability testing). Permissions for slide presentations have to be set at the slide file level, which is annoying when you have the presentation open and you want to just adjust the sharing permissions from right inside the dialog.

Navigation Improvement

I am new to Figma. I am using the app version. I suggest the following changes to the Actions drop down menu. The reason is there is a disconnect between the browser version of this menu and the app. In the browser is has the Back to Files option. In the app it doesn’t, however there is a little Home icon. It’s ironic that in an application such as Figma something like this seems to be overlooked, and the solution is quite simple. Simply add the Home icon next to the Back to Files text in the browser version. That little image would connect the two versions and increase the user experience. See attachment. What say ye?

Add ability to align to key object

It would be great if you could add the option to align multiple objects to a key object (like in Adobe Illustrator). You can see more here: Select & Align to Key Object | Illustrator Tutorial If anyone else wants this or has other alignment suggestions please upvote this topic and comment.

Improve Bundling Docs Could Use More Info About Quirks

Hello! I’ve made plugins for Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, XD, Sketch, and now Figma. Figma has by far been the nicest developer experience, so thank you for that! Honestly the whole experience has been smooth except at one point — bundling. Specifically, I had to use some webpack plugins to work around a few syntax error issues that came from dependencies that were compiled for es6, which don’t go through TypeScript and don’t normally get transpiled by Webpack. I realize this is a bit of a toolchain specific request, but since y’all have focused the bundling doc on Webpack and es6/esm modules are only becoming more common, I would have expected at least a callout or something that some extra work might be required. I think it’d be nice for future new plugin devs to have a bit of a heads up that some special considerations may be necessary when using dependencies. Hopefully this is useful. Thanks again for the otherwise excellent DX!

Make Exported .PDF Files With Editable Text For Accessibility Purposes

Currently exported .PDFs out of Figma are not accessible, because the text is flattened as images. I would like to request an option for exported .PDFs to have editable text. This would be a game changer for our team to move off of Sketch! 😃 (Sketch allows for .PDFs to export with editable text, but Figma does not)

Update libraries trough actions

First I want to mention how much I love actions, great addition to Figma, thanks! I’ve come across something that bugs me. There’s an action to “Publish changes to library”, but there is no action for “Review library updates” or “Update libraries”. It’s a frustrating UX flow to publish changes using the keyboard, navigate to the project that needs the changes using the keyboard, and then having to use a cursor to update the libraries 😖

Stop automatically adding FigmaAgent to Login Items

I don’t use Figma all the time, I don’t want it to run anything on startup. It’s frustrating to manually remove Figma from Login Items, since it automatically adds itself there again. It would be nice to have at least an option to disable it in settings, or even better - remove that functionality at all, since it’s not user friendly. I want control over what and when the apps do at my workstation. P.S. If it’s needed for updates check - I’m more than okay to update on app start

Owners should be able to delete comments

I can’t seem to delete other peoples comments they have left. I am the creator / owner of the figma file and can only delete my own comments. Wondering if this is this normal? Why can’t we delete other peoples comments? The only solution I have found is to copy and paste the frames into a new design file which seems somewhat absurd?

(Minor bug) No animation around skipped slides

Minor issue in Figma Slides: If you set all the slides to animate (e.g. dissolve), then this layout: [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] works as expected. Changing slides dissolves the view between all of them. But, if you hide a slide (using “Skip slide” option): [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] [ 4 ] [ 5 ] then the animation works between 1-2 and 4-5, but there’s no animation between 2-4. The skipped slide causes the transition to be instant - no dissolve, no push, nothing.
