Hello,

I'm experiencing a rendering issue with screenshots in Figma that appeared recently without any changes to my settings.

Problem: When I place screenshots in my Figma file, they display with unwanted colored boxes overlaid on them in the editor view. However, these boxes do not appear when I preview the file on Mac or in any other view mode.

Environment:

  • Figma Desktop App on Mac
  • Issue started recently (no intentional setting changes made)

What I've tried:

  • Reloading the file
  • Restarting Figma
  • Changing color profiles—the colored boxes persist regardless of profile settings

Attachments:

  1. Screenshot showing the problem (colored boxes visible)
  2. Screenshot showing the expected result (without colored boxes)

I've attached two screenshots for reference—one showing the issue and one showing how it should appear. The problem occurs consistently when inserting images in Figma.

Could you help me resolve this? Let me know if you need any additional information about my file or setup.

Thank you,
TSK

Hey ​@tsk25, thank you for sharing screenshots! 

Let’s try to narrow this down a bit:

  • Could you check if the same issue happens in the browser? (Figma supports: Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox.)

  • Have you tried reinstalling the Desktop app?

  • Is this happening in one specific file, or across all files?

  • Is the colorblock around the image like a frame or does it seem to be part of the image? 

 

Thank you for your help!

Hi ​@Gayani_S , 

thanks for your reply. Here are mine: 

 

  • Could you check if the same issue happens in the browser? (Figma supports: Chrome, Safari, Edge, and Firefox.) 

    • Yes, still happening in chrome.

  • Have you tried reinstalling the Desktop app?

    • Yes, problem persists.

  • Is this happening in one specific file, or across all files?

    • across files

  • Is the colorblock around the image like a frame or does it seem to be part of the image? 

    • Yes, the frame is active on the image I uploaded. Sorry about that. The weird color is the large cyan block.

Hey ​@tsk25, apologies for the delayed response! 

I’ve gone ahead and created a support ticket so our Technical Quality team can take a closer look. Your ticket number is #1750239, for reference. Could you please reply with your macOS version and device model? That’ll help us determine whether this might be related to your specific setup.

It would also really help if you could share one of the affected files with support-share@figma.com and grant “Can View” access. That way, the team can try to reproduce the issue on their end and investigate further with Engineering if needed.

 

Thank you for your patience in the meantime and please let me know if there is anything else I can help with!

@Gayani_S  Thanks so much for your reply and creating the Ticket. 

I’ve shared the file with the mail address you shared. Will send them an email with the original screenshots so they can track and follow the issue better. 

Will keep you posted.
