Semi transparent PNG images suddenly appear grey!

Hi ​@Emmy_Lincoln, thanks for reaching out and apologies for the delayed reply! 

I tested this using my own images with semi transparency in Figma and they still show a transparent background, so I'd be happy to investigate the situation you're experiencing further.
 
Could you please try the following?

•  Check if the canvas background color might be affecting how your PNG appears. The canvas defaults to light-gray (#F5F5F5) in light mode or off-black (#1E1E1E) in dark mode (read more). Try toggling the background visibility using the Hide icon in the Page section of the properties panel.
• If you're using the image as a fill, try re-uploading the image:
  1. Select the layer
  2. Click the swatch in the Fill section
  3. Choose Image from the fill options
  4. Upload your PNG again (read more)

If the issue continues to persist, can you confirm if you are you using the image as a layer fill or as a direct image import? With a few more details, we can hopefully resolve this together.

i have this same issue.

when zoomed out they appear ok. when zoomed in they are super dark. also they worked fine until a few weeks ago.

they also only export as darker. no matter what size i am zoomed in.

The problem is due to some change in how Figma handles colour spaces. If I convert my images to sRBG they look fine again. However I have hundreds of images already uploaded though… ​@djv will Figma be updated back to how colour spaces were handled previously?

also converting to webp also fixes the png issue...but it’s good to know that srgb works as well….how do you convert to srgb?

Hey All, thanks for following up with additional context! 

Apologies for my delayed reply. I’ve been out of office. ​​​​​​

Is this happening in the browser, desktop app, or both? Can you also please confirm if you are you using the image as a layer fill or as a direct image import?
 
I’ll pass this information onto the team to confirm what recent changes have been made to color spaces.
