Skip to main content

During the import process in Figma, it seems that caching affects file naming.

I have a large number of PNG images, some of which have identical content but different filenames.

I need to batch add rounded corners and stroke effects to these PNGs.

 

However, when I select all of them and drag them into Figma at once, an issue occurs:

All images with identical content are forcibly renamed to the same filename by Figma.

For example, the original filenames are a1.png, a2.png, a3.png, a4.png,

but after import, they all become a1.png.

 

I want to know if there is a way to avoid this forced renaming,

because I need to keep the original filenames unchanged.

 

在 Figma 的导入过程中,缓存似乎会影响文件命名。

我有大量 PNG 图片,其中部分图片的内容完全相同,但文件名各不相同。

我需要批量为这些 PNG 添加圆角和描边效果。

 

当我一次性全选并拖入这些图片时,出现了一个问题:

所有内容相同的图片在导入后都会被 Figma 强制改成相同的文件名。

例如,原本的文件名是 a1.png、a2.png、a3.png、a4.png,

但导入后它们的文件名全部变成了 a1.png。

 

我想知道是否有办法避免这种强制改名的情况。

因为我需要这些文件名保持不变。

Hi ​@张传强,

 

I understand you're running into an issue where image files with identical content but different filenames are being imported into Figma Design, and all of them are being renamed to the same name.

 

I tested this on my side and observed the same behavior. It looks if an identical image already exists in the file, Figma will overwrite the name on upload with the first image’s name.

An alternative solution you can try is to make a small edit to each image outside of Figma before bulk uploading. This changes the image’s metadata so that Figma recognizes it as a unique image, which can help preserve the original filename.

 

What you’re experiencing is actually a known, long-standing issue. While our engineering team is aware of it, we don’t yet have an estimated timeline for a fix.

That said, I’ve added your post to the existing internal report so your feedback can be considered in future reviews.

We understand this isn’t an ideal solution for your workflow, and we truly appreciate your patience.

 

Thanks,
