Question

Images disappeared from existing Figma file and version history

Images that were previously visible in my files have disappeared. The original layers still exist and can be selected on the canvas. The Fill is still identified as an Image fill, but the image itself is missing and the image preview is blank.

I also checked versions of the file from Version History where these images were previously visible, but the images are now missing from those historical versions as well.

The layers themselves have not disappeared, only the image assets/fills appear to be missing.

Is it possible for Figma Support to recover or restore the original image assets associated with these layers?

This was happening all day, but now, images are back at least on browser.

Hi ​@Paulina_Beltran, Celyn from the Figma Community Support team here.

Thanks for reaching out and for sharing the screenshots. Glad to hear the images are now showing in the browser!

If you’re also using the desktop app, are the images showing there after fully closing and reopening it? Let us know if they’re still missing or if it happens again, and we can take a closer look from there.
