Hi everyone 👋I’m working on a project where I’d like to place two separate PDFs (each with text) into different panes inside Figma — kind of like a side-by-side document viewer. Is there any way to add a PDF (or images of the PDF pages) so that Figma can read the text itself (OCR-style), instead of it just being a flat image? Can Figma Make (or any plugin) highlight sections of the PDF text if I search or ask for something? If OCR or highlighting isn’t possible natively, are there recommended plugins, workarounds, or integrations that can help (for example, extracting the text and keeping it synced with the PDF pages)? Has anyone done something similar in Figma or knows the best way to approach it?Thanks a lot 🙏

I am developing a Figma plugin which enable product manger to add document description and save in database, I am using figma.fileKey to distinguish files, but I checked with filekey can not be used for public plugin, so I want to know whether my plugin is public plugin? for the filekey it is only used for the user self.

Hiii, I’m considering using Figma sites instead of Framer but I couldn’t find 2 things:I want to be able to define the scroll direction between screens (vertical/ landscape). So if I’m scrolling down the screen moves to the right etc. Control the click transitions. So when I click on a button or do any action I could control the transitions (like move in/out/smart animate on prototype).What am I missing?Thanks

These files are extremely important for my ongoing client work, and I’m very anxious about losing them.Details: Account email: [redacted by forum admin/moderator to remove PII] Approximate deletion date/time: [redacted by forum admin/moderator to remove PII] Account status: [redacted by forum admin/moderator to remove PII] I have already contacted Figma Support and replied to their request for details (Harshadeb’s team, I’m the owner/admin.).

Our team was using the annual Pro plan, which has been in use for 6 months now. Today I logged into Figma and saw that the team was locked, which is not fair. What should we do?

If I give my friend editor access through my professional Figma plan in specific project, will they also be able to use all the premium features included in my plan?

When I try to copy and paste a frame, Figma only copies and pastes the text in the frame. When I try to copy and paste an image, an icon etc. It simply doesn’t paste anything. The copy & paste function was working perfectly and all of a sudden it stopped working.

I got quite far into developing a project in Figma Make before I found out that you cannot go from Figma Make to Figma Design. (Brutal. When I opened Figma Make I didn’t even realize it was a coding tool. Naturally, I assumed it was for prototyping.) I tried a workaround based on exporting the Make project and using an HTML-to-Figma plugin, but the Make project doesn’t appear to have HTML files built in.Has anyone discovered any good workarounds for this?

Hi everyone,I’m currently working on a programming assignment for my class and I’ve run into a problem that I can’t seem to figure out. I’ve gone through my notes and tried different approaches, but nothing is working the way it should.I was wondering if anyone here could provide some guidance. Specifically, I’m looking for python homework help on a function that processes lists and returns unique values in sorted order. I think I might be missing something with my loops or set usage.Any advice, explanations, or code examples would be really appreciated!

would figma team consider bring the delete button back to prototype panel? I found it’s hard to discover and feels like a bug. thanks!   

I am having the same issue with this file that I created: https://www.figma.com/design/mpsKZLNfxRpjQ4ZZyHs2xk/Soundsstamp?node-id=37-4&p=f&t=NbFr6aylbkH3M1ng-0 I had the file open in front of me, clicked to another tab, came back and got this error: I have checked all drafts, trash and recent. None of my other 2 team members can access it, nor is it in their trash or drafts. Since this file is locked and owned by me, it should not have disappeared. Could a Figma staff member please help escalate or check backend recovery? I really need to access it today. Thank you!

Hi Figma Community,I lost access to one of my files and I need help recovering it. I am the owner of the file. The file was locked before this issue happened. Now, when I open the link, I get a 404 Not Found error. The file does not appear in my Drafts, Deleted files, or Recent files. I did not delete the file. I’ve tried different browsers, devices, and cleared cache, but no luck. This seems like a permissions/locking bug or a backend issue.Details: File link: [redacted by forum admin/moderator to remove PII] My account email: [redacted by forum admin/moderator to remove PII] Last accessed: 23 august 2025 Since this file is locked and owned by me, it should not have disappeared.

Hello,This is the third time I’ve had to reach out in two weeks regarding major ongoing issues I am experiencing with Figma’s education verification for me and my class. I am teaching a UX/UI design course at a college wherein we are utilizing Figma for design and collaboration, however we have had a number of issues regarding verification.Most recently and pressingly, despite my verified status for a Pro Education plan, I am unable to set our class group to a Professional tier without paying (prior to the re-verification mandated in an email sent on September 6 the group worked just fine at a free for education professional tier). There is no option in the Group’s admin settings to upgrade the group without having to pay for each seat.I’m posting about this here in the forum because when I tried to send a message to Figma support, my ticket (#1504933) was automatically closed and I was replied to by a bot which said that I was contacting support from a Starter account and that support

Summary:When switching between variable modes in Figma (e.g., Balanced Endorsement, Light Endorsement, Full Endorsement), colours applied to components (e.g., buttons) do not update correctly. Some elements retain the wrong colour despite the linked colour updating correctly. Steps to Reproduce:Hard to say as this was working correctly until 22nd AugustExpected Behaviour:All component fills and text colours should update consistently to the values defined in the selected variable mode. Actual Behaviour: Some fills remain stuck on a previous mode Variables show as linked correctly in the right-hand panel, but the applied colour doesn’t match the mode In the component preview, some components display the wrong colours Impact: Prevents accurate visual QA across design tokens Causes visual inconsistency Dev’s are frustrated  Screenshots:  

Hey, Figma has been updated, but now the selection tool is gone. I can no longer make a selection on the iPad to move elements. 

Hi. I went to an old figma file where I compile my case study presentations. All my images show up as blank now and won’t load in. I’ve tried clearing my cache and nothing is working. Hoping to get some help as this is urgent.

I have cancelled additional seats in my account. How can I refund monthly subscription for September 12 (96,13 $)? 

I'm using the Figma vector editing "Shape Builder" tool, but it's behaving strangely. I've attached a video of the issue; please take a look.Google Drive Link

“Anyone with the link” can view prototypes but users still have to log into Figma. Do users have to still log in? Is there a way to just share without having to log in?

Hello,I am reaching out because I’ve been experiencing a recurring issue in Figma when exporting images. For quite some time now, exported files (PNG, sometimes JPG) often display a thin white border around the visuals, even though: my frames are properly aligned to the pixel grid, dimensions are set to whole numbers (no decimals), and no extra background is applied. This issue does not appear to be related to the viewer display (I tested across different software), but to the export process itself.Today, I lost over 4 hours of work trying to resolve this problem (recreating frames, exporting at 2x/3x, checking the pixel grid, etc.), without finding a reliable fix. This is extremely disruptive to my workflow and directly impacts the quality and timing of my deliverables.Could you please let me know if this issue is known to your team, and whether a definitive solution or update is planned?Thank you in advance for your help,Best regards,
