Are there any remote internships in Figma for product designers?

I’m Anuj Dubey from India, and I’m interested in pursuing a career as a product designer at Figma. As a resident of a tier 3 city, I have limited opportunities in this field. I would like to inquire if Figma offers any virtual internships. I would greatly appreciate a response. Thank you, Anuj Dubey

Exporting Flow for Instagram

I have a 3 page interactive instagram “drag on” carousel. I don’t know how to export it. I created an 1080x1080 p interactive carousel and want to export it and post on instagram. So that when someone swipes left or right manually, the interactions work live. But I am unable to export it as 1 single file. I don’t want a mp4 or GIF. I want a file that i can post but the interaction must work only when people drag it as a carousel on instagram. Can someone help? Is there any plugin for downloading the Flow directly to system in 1 single file that is compatible with instagram?

Export Figma Component/Prototype as video

I know this isn’t exactly what Figma was made for, but I created a scrolling carousel of images by creating a component and adding an interaction in the prototype menu. I’d like to use it for social media, but can’t export it as .mp4 or .mov to do so. Is there a plugin or workaround that’s not just screen recording (really diminishes the quality) to export a frame that contains an animation as video?

I know Slides have variables, but where to see them

I know there are variables in Figma Slide. We can create color, string variables in the file, by picking them from existing layers or areas. However we cannot see any panel like this Local variable section in a normal Figma design file. I wonder if it is in progress of adding this same feature in Figma to Figma Slide or, you just forgot to do it. Or may you have some reasons to eliminate this helpful feature from Slides?

"Start and End Point Logic Issue in Figma Plugin: Need Help!"

hello eveyone, I have creating a plugin similar to Autoflow, Currently I facing the problem on the logic for determining the start and end points is incorrect If I select two frames, the stroke caps sometimes flip because of their positions. The connector doesn’t consistently follow the rule: **First frame = Round Cap, Second frame = Arrow Cap What I want? The first selected frame should always have the round cap, The second selected frame should always have the arrow cap, This should remain consistent regardless of the frame positions, sides, or canvas layout. import { showUI, on, emit } from '@create-figma-plugin/utilities'; type Side = "top" | "right" | "bottom" | "left"; type Point = { x: number; y: number }; let frameA: FrameNode; let frameB: FrameNode; let isDrawingEnabled = true; // Controls whether to draw connectors let trackedFrames: { frameA: FrameNode; frameB: FrameNode; lastBoundsA: Rect; lastBoundsB: Rect; sideA: Side; sideB: Side }[] = []; interface ConnectorCach

Dev Mode Playground breaking image colour style

Hey all, We are currently experiencing an issue in Figma where the dev mode component playground is incorrectly breaking images in components. Whether we add the image as a fill to a frame or insert the image directly the image is flipping and being cropped in the playground. Has anyone experienced this and does anyone know of a solution?

Transparency in variables workaround? (Material 2 troubles)

In Material Design 2 (M2), there are a lot of elements made out of a color from the palette (hex code, no opacity) and an transparency depending of the expected result. For example, a primary text can be a solid #000000 and a secondary text the same #000000 with a transparency set to 64%, resulting in a grey text blended with the background color. My design system uses the same approach today. Therefore design tokens works like this: Color Palette tokens are based on a hex code Color Usage tokens are based on Color Palette tokens + opacity % While playing with the new Variables feature in Figma, I noticed that it seems not possible to set an opacity to an existing variable. We can set an RGBA value, but no Variable + Opacity as far as I know. Plus, looking at Unlock design system scalability with variables presentation during Config 2023, it seems that variables for Opacity will come in V2, but looks like there’s no plan to apply opacity on a color variable in a “parent” variable…

All variants visible in prototype

HI all. I’ll start with a warning: I am in a huge hurry to get a project completed with Figma and I am still new to the platform so I may not have done enough due diligence to figure this out myself, I’m trying to learn on the go but finding Figma to be a lot less intuitive in some regards than I was expecting. I’m familiar with the concept of multi-state objects, buttons etc and find the process of creating them quite intuitive in Adobe applications but with Figma the process just seems a lot more complicated. I’ve created multiple variants of several buttons to account for hover and click but then all of these variants are appearing in the prototype preview just as they do in the UI (which is also frustrating). Am I missing something really obvious?

Remove Figjam Annual Editor Seats

Hi, As my team member accidentally moved her personal FigJam file into our team project, I tried to remove editor seats but inadvertently added 3 annual FigJam editor seats with no way to remove them. Do you guys know how can I remove those 3 seats or the only way is to wait for Figma support? I think it’s related to this topic: How can I delete a seat from my paid account? Ask the community Sorry @Gleb, I thought you belonged to Figma, my bad. Well, let’s hope @Figma_Support takes note and maybe improves on this.

New Figma interface layout is frustrating to use

The toolbar is now a floating bar in the centre of the bottom of the page making it look like something has been put in the way of the design space, the same for the left and right sections of the interface, these now feel like immovable boxes on top of my design rather than having a solid, neatly contained design space - I appreciate the extra space, but if that’s what we want, just allow for greater collapsibility of the left and right sections or make things slightly smaller to fit more into one space without compromising on readability. Seeing a tiny sliver of my design on the far side of each sidebar is useless to me - push them flush to the sides. I struggle to navigate the right-hand sidebar, it doesn’t feel intuitive even after 2 weeks of constant use, navigating so many changes brought about in this new layout, slowing me down amid a time-sensitive project.

How to manage variables in a Figma Slides file?

Hello there, I’m struggling with something an I wonder if it is an issue or a missing feature. I can add new text variables in my files but I can’t find a way to edit their value.

Prototype optimization - jpg or png better?

Hi, I have a prototype that needs to be tested on mobile devices and is awfully slow and occasionally crushing there (fine when previewing on desktop). Done most of the regularly recommended things like removing invisible layers, fills, necessary frames and component variants, downsizing images to exact size I really need, shadows out, smart animate only where really need etc. Still not really good, so I wonder now: resolution of my images is small, but they are png. Does anyone know, would that affect protype performance? Would jpgs be any better?

Material's "background" layer

Is there any advantage to having a separate layer for the background inside a component as done in Google Material Design, whereas Figma offers solutions to fill a container with a background color without using an additional layer? Is the approach by Material Design considered a legacy method, or is there a specific rationale behind this concept?

How to Automatically Switch Components in Responsive Figma Designs?

Hi everyone! 👋 I’m working on a responsive design in Figma, and I want to be able to switch one component (for example, a sidebar menu) to automatically switch to another component ( like a hamburger menu) when resizing a frame. I’m aware of auto layout, variants, and constraints, but these require manual tweaking or triggers in prototype mode. Is there a plugin or a feature in Figma that can detect the frame size and automatically swap components accordingly for a more dynamic responsive workflow?

Help Needed: Replicating Selected Figma Element in Frontend
