我是一位产品经理，最近我注意到了figma make产品，我尝试了一下，效果出乎意外地不错，我希望能够让我们团队中的其他产品经理都使用它。但是遗憾的是，在使用make产品时，我需要提前投喂不少素材，并且告诉它我们的设计规范……这相当耗时。我希望能够让figma make有足够的预知识，但我不知道该怎么做。 我希望能和 figma 的客户经理取得联系，获得帮助。

TL;DR: Figma’s PDF exports (even with paid plugins) gave me huge, laggy files, so I built my own tool that exports slides as compressed images, rebuilds the PDF with OCR, adds all links, and got a 48-slide deck from 177MB down to 11MB with smooth performance.The title basically says it all...I’ve been tryna properly export Figma presentation decks to PDFs for like 3 years now, and every option I tried just wasn't doing enough for me. I’m not even gonna get into Figma’s default pdf export, but even $20/month plugins like Compressed PDF and TinyImage Compressor still gave me pretty chunky PDFs (typically over 100mb for 30 to 50 slides).And it wasn’t just the file size either. The PDFs would feel janky as hell when scrolling, stuff would flicker, the scrolling itself would lag A LOT, and sometimes the design itself would get messed up when the plugin tried to optimize vectors, glows or other weird effects. My decks usually have a lot going on too, like I abuse gradients, glows, vector sha

Hi everyone,I am trying to understand the complete process of BISP 8171 web portal registration for checking eligibility and CNIC status online.I found that many people are confused about how to properly register and check their information without making mistakes. I have been reading different guides and trying to learn the correct steps.Recently, I came across a helpful resource that explains the process in a simple and easy way: https://adpportal.com.pk/It helped me understand how to enter CNIC details and check eligibility status online.However, I still have a few questions: Is there any official deadline for registration? What should I do if my CNIC is not showing eligibility? How can I update incorrect information? If anyone here has experience with this process, please share your guidance. It would really help beginners like me.Thanks in advance!

Most Figma workflows look the same multiple plugins open, three paid for separately, two barely used. Every tool doing one thing, no connection between them.It felt like a mess nobody was cleaning up.So we built Waysorted, a suite of tools that lives in one place inside Figma. Color systems with contrast checks, frames to PDF with CMYK support, unit converter, file importer with more tools like HTML to design, icon library in development and comment summariser. All under one credit system, no separate subscriptions per tool. And it's free to start, no friction, no forced upgrade.We're a small team that just launched beta. 200+ designers found it organically over the last few months. Just people sharing it with other people who felt the same pain.We'd love honest feedback from this community. What's working, what's missing, what feels off, all of it welcome.If you've ever felt the plugin sprawl pain, this was built for you.https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1532842109377504268/wayso

Hey Everybody,I just got quoted $149 for a one-paged website in Los Angeles. Is this a fair price?I found this company when I searched for web design near me and they seemed to provide the cheapest price. I have little understanding when it comes to this manner, so I am not sure if this is a good deal, or a red flag, or pretty standard. Is godaddy good for hosting? This is what the agency recommended to me.A few questions: Is $149 a reasonable price for a single paged website? Where is the best place to host this website after completion? Any advice from people who have been through this or are web designers is appreciated.

Hi everyone!I’m finishing my masters in User Experience and Interactive Media Designe at Södertörn University. As my end project I’m writing a thesis about how Virtual Try-On technology could help with the size and fit issues of clothes, and hopefully improve the experience of online shopping. As the end result I want to design a Virtual Try-On interface that would help with determining how the item would fit the user better than just the pictures. For the first step in my research I’m conducting a survey about people’s experiences with clothing size, fit and Virtual Try-Ons. I need around 50 more respondents to get to the next step of the study, so I would apriciate any help! https://forms.gle/D7jHNbuAh4k4hFQi7 It mostly contains closed questions and shouldn’t take more than 10 minutes to fill out.Thank you in advance!Alicja :)

Hi everyone,I’m currently researching how healthcare and diagnostic centers can improve their online booking and patient experience through better UI/UX design. Many imaging facilities now allow patients to schedule scans online, but the process often feels confusing and outdated.For example, while exploring options for an MRI Test in Lahore, I noticed that some diagnostic centers are starting to improve their digital experience and make test booking easier for patients. One example I came across was Alnoor Diagnostic Centre, which seems to focus on making medical testing information accessible online.From a design perspective, I’m curious about a few things: What are the best UI practices for medical test booking systems? How can designers reduce anxiety for patients who are booking scans like MRI or CT? Are there any good Figma templates or design systems specifically for healthcare platforms? If anyone has worked on healthcare or diagnostic center UX projects, I would love to he

FinTech is a massive industry in the UK, and finding a specialist mobile app development company in the UK for finance-related apps can be a game-changer. But do niche developers really offer that much of an advantage? In this thread, we’ll debate whether niche companies deliver better security, compliance, and scalability than generalist agencies. If your project involves payments, KYC, or FCA-regulated functionality, let’s talk about what to look for in a mobile app development company in the UK.

Hi everyone! 👋I design high-load interfaces for the B2B and B2E segments, where working with large tables is pretty much a daily task. Populating such tables manually is inconvenient and takes a lot of time.I’ve tried various plugins that generate test data, but most of the solutions I tested had one critical limitation — you can’t easily generate multiple types of data at once. I had to do it step by step: first, select text layers in one column to generate names, then move to another column to generate emails and then phone numbers… This process really slows down the workflow.That’s why I came up with the idea to create a plugin that automates table population and saves time.That’s how Mirage Data Generator was born — a plugin that helps quickly insert test data into tables and groups of similar elements.Key Features of the plugin: Works with any groups of similar elements: table rows, cards and lists. Supports various formats for names, phone numbers, email domains, dates, and ad

Hi everyone,I’ve been working closely with AI systems and agent-based architectures lately, and one topic that keeps coming up in discussions with founders, developers, and product teams is the cost to build an AI agent. Many people are excited about AI agents because of their ability to automate tasks, analyze data, and make decisions autonomously, but budgeting for these systems is often misunderstood.From a development perspective, building an AI agent is not just about connecting an AI model to an interface. It usually involves designing an entire ecosystem that includes data pipelines, model orchestration, infrastructure, integrations, and monitoring systems. Because of this, the cost to build an AI agent can vary significantly depending on the complexity of the project.I thought it might be useful to share some insights from the perspective of an AI developer working in this space.Why the Cost to Build an AI Agent Varies So MuchOne of the biggest misconceptions is that AI agents

Hey folks,This started as one of those late curiosity driven experiments and kind of snowballed, so I figured I’d share it here and see what people think.I’ve been building and maintaining design systems for a long time, and at some point I noticed something that felt off. Not the complexity. The repetition. Every new product or team, I’d find myself rebuilding the same foundations again. Tokens, components, variants, states, docs scaffolding. Different names, different flavors, but structurally… almost identical.At some point I asked myself why I was still assembling all of this by hand.So I tried a small experiment. I built a Figma plugin that generates design system foundations directly on the canvas using the plugin API. Instead of drawing components first, the idea was to produce them programmatically and then iterate from there.Nothing fancy visually yet. This is very much about structure and behavior, not eye candy.In the short video below, the plugin creates a basic component,

Hey everyone,Just launched SVGenius on Figma Community - a plugin for generating SVG illustrations using AI directly in Figma.Built it to solve a problem I kept running into: finding unique illustrations takes forever, stock libraries feel generic, and creating from scratch or waiting on illustrators is slow.Features:Generate SVG illustrations from text prompts in under 60 seconds 40+ preset styles (hand-drawn, neon glow, 3D, retro-futurism, minimalist, etc) Create custom styles to match your brand Upload reference images to generate in a specific style Upload your color palette One-click insert to canvas Generation history with batch operations (insert multiple at once, export as ZIP, reuse prompts/styles)Pricing: Pay-per-credits model with 5 free generations to test it out. Credit packs range from $12 to $329.Would love to hear your feedback or answer any questions!Figma Community: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1585442932233795342

Just moved my simple UX design portfolio website from a CMS over to Figma Sites. It’s a bit of a learning curve, but pretty impressed with the functionality so far! I’m used to designing and developing my own websites and themes from scratch using a CMS, so my expectations are pretty high.Some stray observations:First off, this is labeled a beta and it definitely is. I wouldn’t use this for anything beyond simple personal sites or prototypes as of yet. Getting custom fonts to work took some trial and error. Google Fonts / Adobe Fonts aren’t yet supported, so you have to upload your own WOFF files.  Responsive design works really well, but auto layout + fill must be used properly. You can set up components and text styles like normal and then assign them to specific breakpoints, but managing each one can be finicky. CMS functionality works well, but is pretty limited right now. For example, no way to display a random set of posts or set custom cropping for images. Password protection is

Tint and Shade Generator As someone who works on design systems, I kept wasting time on something that should be instant: generating a full color palette from a single base color.The Real ProblemHere is what building a color palette actually looks like without a proper tool:You pick a base color You manually create 8 to 10 lighter and darker variations You eyeball the steps and hope they look consistent You create each color style in Figma one by one A week later the brand color changes and you redo all of it Your design tokens are now out of sync with what is in FigmaThis is the part of design system work nobody talks about because it is unglamorous. But it eats real time.What the Plugin Actually DoesOne thing that is different: it does not just show you the colors. It creates the Figma color styles for you in one click. You go from a single hex value to a complete, named, production-ready palette inside your Figma file without touching the styles panel.Everything else:Color MathTints

Hey everyone, sharing something I built because I kept running into the same frustration.A11y - Smart Color Contrast CheckerEvery contrast checker I tried would flag a failure and stop there. I'd spend 10 minutes manually tweaking lightness until something passed WCAG AA.So I added one thing to solve that: when your color fails, the plugin shows you the nearest passing color and lets you apply it in one click. Same hue and saturation, just enough lightness adjustment to cross the threshold.Everything else is pretty standard:Auto-detects the actual background behind your text (handles nested frames, auto-layout, overlapping layers) Shows exact contrast ratio with AA and AAA pass/fail Exports a report frame to your canvas with hex values and compliance badges for handoffIt's free, no account needed.Would genuinely appreciate feedback from anyone who does accessibility work regularly. What's missing? What would make this more useful in your actual workflow?[Plugin link]

As someone who designs primarily in Figma, I often faced the frustrating choice: compromise on print quality or break my workflow to use InDesign. Print Layout plugin solves this dilemma by bringing professional print capabilities directly into Figma. The Real Problem It Solves Here's the situation many Figma users face: You create beautiful designs in Figma, but when it's time to print, you either:Export a basic PDF and hope for the best (often disappointed) Learn InDesign just for print prep (time-consuming and expensive) Outsource the print preparation (costly and slow) Print Layout eliminates this workflow break. What Print Layout Brings to Figma Professional Print SetupFinally, you can create proper print documents in Figma with margins, bleed, and crop marks. Business cards, flyers, and posters now have the same professional setup you'd expect from dedicated print software. CMYK Color ControlThis is the game-changer. See how your RGB colors will actually print, and adjust CMYK va

Hey Figma folks — quick reality check question.I’m seeing more teams use AI-assisted steps (idea generation, asset creation, quick variations, copy, etc.) inside the design process. The problem is: when AI touches even one step, it gets surprisingly hard to answer:“What did the human actually create?”…and in a collab, who deserves credit / payment for what?I’d love to hear real workflows (not theory). If you’ve dealt with any of these, can you reply with what you do?1) The “client/legal” momentHave you ever been asked (by a client, manager, platform, or teammate)“Is this AI?” / “Can you prove your process?” What did you show them (versions, file history, screenshots, docs, Loom, etc.)? 2) The messy collaboration momentIn a multi-person file, when AI is involved, how do you handle credit/payment? Split evenly? “Who did the final layout wins”? Track changes/versions? Something else? 3) The Figma-native questionWhat’s the minimum evidence trail you wish Figma had built-in for AI-ass

I realised I was wasting the first 15-20 minutes of every single project just typing out "Cover", "Wireframes", "Handoff", and making those little --------- divider pages.So I built a free plugin called File & Page Template Creator to speed up this processWhat it does: Extract & Save: You can take a file structure you already use and click "Save current layout" to turn it into a reusable template. 1-Click Setup: Open a blank Figma file, pick your saved template, and it instantly generates your entire page structure. Defaults included: I included a few standard templates like an Agency Handoff and a Jira Epic Tracker to get you started. 🔗 Here is the free community link: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1604649360345670631I'd love to hear your feedback or if there are any specific page structures your team uses that I should add to the defaults!

The field of user experience offers exciting prospects for research as AI develops. Although AI is very good at processing data, consumers frequently find it difficult to understand its results, which might result in a simplification loop.As we move towards chatbot-style interfaces, it becomes increasingly important to embrace UX in a No-UI environment. Instead of concentrating only on aesthetics, designers are creating engaging conversational experiences. The focus now is on using speech and text to create emotionally resonant, intuitive, and captivating encounters. As a result of this progression, UX designers now play a wider range of roles, including language design, integrating user feedback, skilfully handling errors, creating microcopy, and creating adaptive systems that can be used in a variety of user contexts.Following guiding principles that guarantee efficient and user-centred design becomes crucial as the work of UX designers changes to meet these new expectations.

Hi.I’m writing because I just saw an automatic annual renewal charge on my account about an hour ago...To be honest, I completely forgot to cancel this because I’ve been using Figma exclusively through my company’s corporate account lately. I have no need for a personal paid plan anymore and haven't used this specific account for any work since the charge happened.Since the payment was processed literally just an hour ago, could you please help me cancel this subscription and issue a full refund? It would be a huge help to me.I look forward to hearing from you soon. Thank you!
