Hi ​@Jose123,

 

I understand that you’re experiencing lag and slowness in the Figma Desktop app.

 

Could you please make sure you’re using the latest version of the Desktop app and then restart it to see if that helps?
You can also check this article for additional steps: Troubleshooting checklist


If the issue persists, could you please share a few more details to help us investigate further?

  • Do you notice the same issue in a supported browser (Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge, or Firefox)?

  • Does this happen in a specific file, or across all your files?

  • What kind of actions tend to cause the lag or slowness?

  • Could you share a short screen recording showing the behavior (with the full Figma window visible)?

This information will help us better understand what’s happening and how to assist you.

 

Thanks,
