When I share a prototype with someone, they are able to view the prototype, AND can also view the whole design file if they go to the top menu dropdown and click “Open in Editor”. Q: How do I share my prototype without user being able to open my design file? [there are prob ways to keep user from editing the file, but that’s not my concern, because I don’t want them able to view the design file it in the first place.

When using auto layout some of the images/modules can be located at an odd X or Y orientation such as 102.03. When this is the case the image exports as an odd number, it appears to be 150px tall in Figma but on export becomes 150.5px. The position of an element should NOT affect the size of an image on export. This is causing major issues for our team and having to manually edit each image or drag each image out of layout to save out.

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.

The title. When resetting size in component instances, I have to click the button 2 times. 1st time it resets ONLY height, 2nd time it resets width. Take a look please

Hi everyone, I’m having a problem and could really use some help.Background:I’m working in a large Figma file — it's overloaded with information, and Figma keeps suggesting that I should offload the file. I’m using Variables extensively (light/dark theme).Here’s the issue:When I export components to another file (as a Figma Library), all components, colors, etc., are transferred. BUT the most important part — Variables — are not.If I create Variables manually or transfer them using a plugin, the system doesn't recognize or link them. It treats them as completely separate, unlinked variables.The situation:I transferred a component via the Figma Library into another file. All the colors were exported, but not the Variables. Then I exported Variables via a plugin and tried to update a color inside the component — but the system doesn’t recognize the Variables at all. It's like they are totally disconnected.Please help — I really need

My admin gave me full editor access on the company’s shared workspace but I’m still getting an error message saying “Limited Access: To create new files, switch to a plan where you’re a full member”. Is there any way to get full access? I’ve logged out and logged back in, restarted my figma on browser and application, and deleted my cache. 

Hii, I am experiencing some weird behaviours with autolayout. The fill option doesn’t show on some frames and on others doesn’t let me centre it or align it. The “Appearance” section is not visible either. Anyone else experiencing this?

Imagine two frames. The first contains two interactive components: a seven-slide carousel and a dark/light mode toggle. The second frame is used to navigate away and return. The toggles are matching components across both frames, so they share states — which is ideal. Tapping a toggle changes its variant and the colour mode. I want the toggles to retain their state when navigating between frames, but I’d like the carousel to reset. Is there a way to control which components get reset on a frame?

Does anyone know of a plugin or tool which is similar to uiizard where I could upload a jpg to figma and it would turn it into wireframes?

I am struggling for a while to figure out a way to detect changes that have been applied to a frame since last “view” I found recently that a request to REST api getImage (https://www.figma.com/developers/api#get-images-endpoint) will generate a image and the response is cached. From what I see, the file is regenerated if I do any sort of change in the frame. Is it safe to assume that I can use the cached image key as an way to detect changes? Is there any other “official” way to trach changes to a frame? Thanks

Hey everyone, I’m looking for some input on a Figma prototyping challenge. Specifically, I’d like to know if it’s possible to create two distinct animations for a button: Single click: When clicked once, the digital value changes by one step. Long press: Holding the button down triggers a continuous, automatic increase in the value until the button is released. If you have any insights or suggestions on how to achieve this effect in Figma, please share them!

Im creating a timeline of image collections (a historical fashion timeline) spanning 30+ years with each having 60 collections containing on average 50 images so 30x60x50=90,000 which is an insane amount of images to try and load! The images are not massive but due to the sheer volume loading the page really isn’t something you can do in less than an hour… I was wondering if there was a plugin or something that would generate tiny thumbnails so to allow the entire page to load fully initally and as you zoom in to a section higher res versions load? I know Figma already does this but the images are still too higher res initially to be usable. I know i can divide the years into frames which will help fix the loading issues however the function of being able to move horizontally and vertically on the fly is really important so I’d like to avoid doing so if possible!

No MCP Server option available hereThe option to enable MCP server is not available, I have a professional acount and I used desktop app. Also I have latest version of figma desktop app. Please help

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.

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 ratioBut 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

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. 

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 spa

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.

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.

Hi Everyone, One of my clients is currently hosting their site on WordPress with Elementor to design. Anyone know of any good ways to get Figma to Elementor or will I have to build it all manually?

I made a prototype with Figma Make and I’m dying to check how it looks and works on my phone—like by mirroring or opening it in a browser or anything else. Is there any way to do that yet?

Figma Buzz is currently in beta. For those who are using it for experimentation there is a bug that does not allow us to insert our project files within Figma Buzz dashboards. The bug only allows shows public files from the Figma community but does not show your own local files, making it impossible to import.Workaround: to make the choice menu appear to select our local content to use in the dashboards just close the “templates” window by clicking on the “X” and reopen it again. This will reset the “templates” side panel and reappear the submenu for choosing local files 

Hello designers and Figma experts,I’m facing a problem with using Hindi fonts in Figma. I’ve installed proper .ttf/.otf Hindi fonts on my system, and they work fine in other apps like MS Word and Photoshop. However, when I apply the same font in Figma: The text doesn’t update to the selected Hindi font. It often defaults to some basic font or doesn’t reflect the change at all. 🔧 Things I’ve already tried: Restarted Figma and my system. Tried different Hindi fonts. Checked if fonts are installed correctly. Using Figma desktop app (also tried browser version). ❓Has anyone faced the same issue? Is there any workaround or font recommendation that works well with Figma for Devanagari/Hindi?Thanks in advance 🙏— Mohammad Su

Dear Figma Team,While using Figma, due to the account team setting, after transferring the files to drafts, I accidentally deleted the entire team, and all important account files were lost. Could you please help restore them? I would be extremely grateful as this is very important to me.Thank you,

I have been unsuccessful in trying to create horizontal overflow scroll happen in figma sites. The dropdown to control the setting is visible but disabled so I’m not sure if that means it is currently being worked on.The marquee effect can help show the user the clipped content but it doesn’t give them direct control of the overflow which is frustrating.
