Alright, guys FigPals were the best (and weirdest) thing to come out of April Fools’ this year. They follow your cursor, help you design, and love you unconditionally… maybe too much. 👀

But here’s the problem—they’re only available for April Fun Week! 😭

We can’t let this be just a one-time joke. FigPals deserve to be a permanent feature (with a toggle for those who don’t want constant companionship). That’s why I made a Change.org petition to show Figma how much we want to keep them!

Let’s make sure our tiny, slightly obsessive design assistants don’t get deleted forever. #KeepFigPals 🩷🐾

So my hope is this: that the spirit and craft behind FigPals, the joy, the detail, the polish, becomes a signal for what’s possible across the rest of the platform. That the same thoughtfulness is given to the fundamentals we use every day. Because when the foundation is strong, everything from the fun features to the mission-critical ones becomes more meaningful, impactful, and trusted.

We don’t need to lose Figma's playful side. But we do need to pay the same attention to the parts of the product that are holding teams back, not because they’re not innovative, but because they’re not yet finished.

Beautiful post. 100% agree. Glad they found space to have fun, but also questioning what could have been delivered with those resources from the long backlog of long overdue feature requests. I really hope that Figma redirects more resources to the basics moving forward, but I can’t say I’m hopeful. Based on past updates, I have a feeling it’s going to be more new product launches like FigDocs and FigSheets or something, and less attention to getting the basics in their existing products up to speed. Like, why do I need to rely on 3rd party plugins to export variables for my devs?

While I agree that there are a lot of things to change or fix in figma, I found so much joy in the little figpals. If nothing else, thank you to the team that made them for making my life a little brighter and joy filled this week. Much needed, much appreciated.

I really hope they keep the FigPals around. I’m going to be so sad if my FigPal is gone when I start work next week 💔

Hello one and all,

I would kindly ask the Figma developers to keep the FigPal’s feature as it is great and all that hard work should stick permenantly.

I would say that it would be great if we had some more customisation settings, think Clippy on windows XP. Helpful little guy.

I would like the FigPal to stick to my cursor, not have a animation delay, personally I feel like it would be good if you could toggle that so either they are stuck to your cursor, delayed, or you put them back in their house.

Great feature, pls keep

I can see why some people may dislike it but I feel like its a harmless and unique feature that should be kept, but it should something you can disable in your user settings if you dislike it.

Figma's design isn’t so cooperate that it feels out of place, I didn't even consider it was an April fools addition for the first bit as it fit in so well lol.

It’s just so cute aaaa

I can’t believe how stupid this is. I literally have a 3600-word wishlist of missing and/or poorly-implemented features in Figma and of all the things you could be spending your time on, this is what you roll out?
