Hey ​@Finn_BR_Studio — thanks for flagging this, and sorry to hear you're running into trouble copying images.

I just tested this in a Figma Design file on my end and was able to copy and paste images as expected, so let’s see if we can narrow down what might be causing things to behave differently on your side.

A few things to double check:

1. Are you using the Figma Desktop App or a web browser? If it's the Desktop App, is it updated to version 125.5.6?
2. If you're using a browser, which one? And do you have any extensions or plugins installed that might affect copy/paste behavior?
3. Does this happen with all images and files, or just a specific one?
4. Does this happen when selecting images directly from the canvas, from the layers panel on the left, or both?

If everything checks out and you're still seeing the issue, the best next step might be to reach out to Figma Support so they can take a closer look. When you do, it’s helpful to include:

• the link to this Forum thread for context
• a screen recording of the issue (including left/right panels, if possible)
• a link to the affected file
• edit access for support-share@figma.com.

Let us know what you find — happy to keep digging in if needed! 

I am experiencing the same issue in all of my files… I have quit Figma, re-started my computer… Everything and still have the issue.

Hey ​@Tom Reem, thank you for your reply!

1. I m using the Figma Desktop App, Version 125.6.4
2. I m using a few plugins but didnt install one lately. Non of them is copying image related.
3. Its not working with all images/videos. Also across both my accounts
4. Copying an image from the canvas is working, but its not working when I double click it and copy it from the Fill panel to implement it into another frame.

Best

​@Finn_BR_Studio I found a solution in another post that could be useful, for now, while the bug isn’t fixed. 
 

I hope this helps!

​@Julia Meni Hi Julia, thank you so much – it worked for me! Temporary this is a good workaround

​@Figma_Support This is still not the most efficient way to copy/paste images from the fill panel. Please fix this soon as it slows down the working process significantly.

I have the same issue! ​@Figma_Support 

Hey ​@Finn_BR_Studio, thanks for confirming — I’ve opened a ticket on your behalf including those details with our Product Support team so they can take a deeper look into this. Please check your inbox for case number 1438826 and follow the next steps — this will help us investigate further. Really appreciate you collaborating with us on this.

​@Julia Meni, thanks for sharing the solution above. And ​@Matilde Corina, I’m sorry to hear you’ve run into this as well. I haven’t been able to replicate the bug on my end yet, but I’m keeping a close watch for any updates and will share more info here as soon as I have it.

Just here to say that a few people on our web design team are having the same issue (but not everyone). 

Hi, our team is also having this issue as well now. 

Has recently occurred in the last 2-3 days with the new update. Any solutions so far?

I’m algo having this issue. It’s paaaaaaainfuuuuuuuuul & extremely time consuming for our team 

Any updates?

Hi everyone — I really appreciate you continuing to surface this, and I’m sorry for the disruption this issue is causing. I’ve checked in with our engineering team, and they’re actively working on a fix.

While I don’t have a specific timeline to share just yet, I’ll circle back here with any new updates as soon as I have them.

Hope that helps in the short term, and thanks again for your continued patience.

Same issue here! Lost the functionality of copy pasting images directly into frame sometime within the last month.

Figma App 125.6.5

on Macbook Pro M3 Max running Sequoia 15.5

Thanks,

Hi everyone, quick update from our side: I just checked in with the engineering team, and they’ve pushed a fix to production that should resolve this issue.

If you haven’t already, try giving the tab you’re working in a quick refresh → copy/paste functionality should now behave as expected.

Thanks again for your patience while we worked to get this resolved. Let us know how it goes, and if any questions remain.

Good day,

As of September 3, 2025, the problem remains the same. I’m using the Desktop App (latest version). If I copy any image (any size) from any browser on MacBook with Command+C and try to paste it with Command+V — whether directly onto a frame or into the Fill panel — nothing happens. It simply doesn’t paste as it used to before.

Could you please let me know if there is any update on this issue?
