Edit, never mind, the UI wasn’t clear. Also there doesn’t seem to be a way to delete threads here, gg

The built-in glass lighting effect (the “Light” property in the effect overlay window) doesn’t seem to leverage the proper blend mode around the edges, at least as is implemented in iOS.See the attached files for how I manually created edge effects to more closely resemble actual implementation. I’d love for this to be built into the lighting edge effect if possible. (the key for me was layering multiple strokes that used the “overlay” blend mode) 

Hi,I am a student from Instituto Federal Sul-rio-grandense – Campus Sapiranga (Brazil).My school email domain is:@academico.ifsul.edu.brWhen I try to apply for the Figma Education Student plan, I keep getting redirected to the domain request form.However, another student from the same school and with the same email domain was approved successfully.I have already submitted the domain request form before and I am still stuck in this loop.Could someone from the Figma team please check my account or confirm if this domain is already approved for students?Thank you.

As the subject reads, I have received emails saying that “I have only X weeks left on my education plan”. I have never signed up for such a plan (to my knowledge), and I am a bit concerned that things I’ve made will vanish within 2 weeks. I have been a professional subscriber for many years, and don’t want to experience anything troublesome soon. How do I ensure that there hasn’t been anything mismatched or such, to be able to keep what I have and keep on with my work? There’s no sign of a Edu-thingie when I log into my own account afaIk.

Why is this error occurring? I used Figma AI Prompt  

Hi Help!! after coverting to figma education, i cant edit my website!!!

Dear Figma Support Team,我写这封信是为了报告我的教育计划账户存在的功能。虽然我可以在我的入门（免费）团队中使用AI功能，但在我的教育团队（“XC-FIGMA”）中，这些功能完全被取消且显示为灰色。如附图所示，AI Switch 显示消息：“对于像您这样的团队，此功能无法实现。”由于我是经过验证的学生/教师，我认为我应该拥有 Figma AI 工具的完整访问权限。看来我的教育团队空间被错误地标记或限制了。   请您手动查看我团队的状态并帮我启用人工智能功能好吗？谢谢你的帮助。

No tippy colors. Actual result The exported rectangle but when zooming in, there are trippy colors.

Hi everyone. I’ve had a figma and i decided to download the last version but it doesn’t install now.    Windows 10 ProVers    22H2 

When I click Edit in Figma, it will open a new figma page but without any generated content 😭Any suggestions? 

When importing an SVG file into Figma, text sized using pixel values renders correctly. However, any SVG text that is sized using ems (font-size: 0.8em;) is interpreted as 0.8 pixels instead of 12.8 pixels (assuming a 16px browser default font size). This makes all svg text look microscopic.So an SVG that renders correctly in the browser, will look like this (note the microscopic text):If I edit the svg file to convert the ems to pixels the I get the expected result:Figma should be converting the EM values into appropriate PX font sizes (e.g 1em = 16px), not treating 1em as 1px.I have included a sample SVG file that demonstrates the problem.

Hey Guys!PROJECT: Design an app and a responsive website for a local grocery store that helps shoppers locate products as they shop in person. I would really appreciate constructive feedback on my LO-FI Prototype  

I’m having an issue with a branch. I created this branch from our library where we were updating out font in our text styles. I used a plugin to change all the text styles, and reviewed the branch and saw that everything looked 100% as expected. A few days later when I opened the branch again, many components that previously had text set to ‘hug’ now have text set to ‘fixed’ and it’s hard to find in some scenarios unless I manually tap into every text frame and check. This is the first time I’ve had this issue with a branch like this. As in other branches that I have, I can see all the same components with the correct fill/hug/fixed settings. I’m wondering if this is just due to how branches handle typography?

The latest update introduced grouped vector point editing via a bounding box, which is useful for transforms like rotate and scale. However, it unintentionally breaks a very common and fundamental vector-editing interaction.Previously, for example, when connecting two squares by their corners, I could enter edit mode, select the four points of one shape, and drag a (!) corner point directly onto the (!) corner point of another shape. This made precise alignment fast and predictable.After the update, vector points no longer act as drag anchors. The only way to move a shape in edit mode now is by dragging empty space inside the bounding box. As a result, even simple tasks—like aligning one line to another—become awkward, since you’re no longer interacting with the actual vector points themselves.This really slows down icon and graphic creation, where point-to-point interaction is a core part of the workflow. It would be great to have a way to temporarily disable the new group-selection b

what are you doing？？？？Figma, tell me what’s this ?? In Edit mode, when I select all anchor points, I can’t drag the object by those selected points. Instead, it forces me into scaling/stretching. After mirroring the shape, I also can’t snap points together properly. This is seriously wrecking my user experience!!! Are you even running a staged rollout or beta testing? I don’t understand—please fix this feature or bug ASAP. I can’t take it anymore. Making icons is basically impossible like this!!!

I changed the Chat > To-do lists setting of an existing Make file from the default “Auto-start immediately” to “Ask to start” but the chat still starts making changes immediately. I have tried quitting Figma.

I would like to create a simple component that would have different versions for desktop and mobile. After I add the component to a screen, I can link to a "device" variable and make it adjust automatically. But I would like to link the variant with the variable automatically, so every time a team member add this component to a screen, they wouldn't need to link them manually.  Is this possible?

Hello Everyone!I’m using Figma Sites for my design portfolio and added horizontal scrolling to a frame. It works, but when I preview the site, a horizontal scrollbar shows up, and I want to hide it for a cleaner look.Here’s what I tried: Set the frame to horizontal scroll under overflow behavior Tried to look for an “On Drag” interaction to make it feel swipeable — but it’s not available Thought of using arrows + variants, but that’s a lot of work and not ideal Is there any way to hide the scrollbar in Figma Sites? Or any better workaround?Thanks!

Good morning,I’m getting a message on Figma that’s asking me to verify my student status. And I’m trying to do that. However, now I’m getting an error that says I’ve exceeded the intents for verification. Can you please help me on how I can verify myself? I contacted your support team and so far I haven’t been provided with a solution. How can I upload the corresponding documents?  

I am working with Figma for about 3 years and it is a wonderful software. Speed used to be awesome in the beginning. It changed after a while and now it is really a pain to open files, select frames and resize areas. It starts blocking my work. You read always “Empty the cache...” I did but no change. Please dear Figma team realize that there is a problem that needs your attention.

From this morning I’ve been unable to use variables, here’s what happens:On first load/reload of page Select Gap Dropdown Select Apply variable Variable list appears briefly then updates to “No variables available”It’s not happening with Colors and is the case on every file I’ve worked on this morning.All my variables should be available. Non are marked as “Hidden from publishing” and the scope is set to Gap. 

  I found a similar issue reported here already, but we’re still experiencing problems with using variables.When trying to apply text variable to a component, it shows ‘No variables available’. I’ve checked the library and it is connected to the file. The library is available too.   It’s not just me — the entire team is facing this issue when working with variables. We’ve already refreshed Figma, but nothing has helped.Could you please advise on how to fix this issue?

Figma Team,This is absolutely unacceptable. A payment was made from my credit card, without any authentication or prior notification. What’s even more shocking is that I never saved my card details on my account, yet the billing was processed automatically.This is a serious breach of data protection and financial security. What if I didn’t have sufficient funds? What if I didn’t want to make the payment? You cannot just charge users without consent—this is outright unethical and borderline fraudulent. This is completely unacceptable, especially since my card is not supposed to be saved with you. How did this even happen?I demand an immediate explanation and resolution. This level of negligence is beyond disappointing, and I expect a prompt response. I have already sent an email about this issue. I expect a prompt resolution to this matter.Thank you for addressing this issue as soon as possible.

Recently, in our presentations, everything got messed up: text, elements — everything overlapped.Of course, no one intentionally moved anything.Do you have any idea what could be causing this? 🥲 We reformatted everything afterward, but after some time, it happened again.

I created a template in Project A in Figma, which includes a main component and its linked instances that sync properly. However, when I copy this template to a new project, the main component and instances lose their link and no longer sync. This used to work fine before, but it stopped working recently. How can I fix this?
