The captcha puzzles to verify your login might be the most ridiculous thing I’ve seen in my entire life. I’m supposed to match a pattern to an image with an astronaut standing on top of said pattern so I can’t even see it. And the image is AI generated so the pattern isn’t even an exact match anyways. And I also have to do 3-5 of these just to login. Captcha has always been an AI training tool but at least it used to not be so blatant.

Revolutionary idea, I know.Currently, when someone requests edit access to a file, the admin gets a friendly little "Approve" button. What that button doesn't mention: clicking it silently adds a Full/Dev seat at €15–20/month to your invoice. No price shown, no seat-type info, no confirmation step. You find out when your card gets charged.Suggested enhancement:- Show the actual cost on the approval dialog and in the request email (e.g. "Approving will add 1 Full seat: €20/month")- Add a confirmation step for any action that creates a recurring charge — like literally every other subscription product manages to do- Bonus: let admins approve as view-only by default instead of auto-upgrading to paid seatsI'm sure this is just an oversight and not a deliberate design choice that quietly grows ARR. Either way, EU regulators have a word for interfaces that hide the financial consequences of a click until the invoice arrives, so it might be worth fixing before they get to it.

Feature Request: Canvas MinimapI’d love to see a Canvas Minimap added to Figma, similar to the minimap in VS Code.When working on large and complex Figma files, it can be difficult to keep track of where you are on the canvas. A small minimap in the corner could show a zoomed-out view of the entire canvas, with a highlighted area indicating the current viewport.It would be especially useful if users could drag the viewport within the minimap to quickly navigate to different areas of the canvas, or click on any area to jump there.This would make navigating large files much faster and more intuitive.Suggested features: Zoomed-out overview of the entire canvas Highlighted rectangle showing the current viewport Drag to navigate Click to jump to an area Show/hide option

Request:Provide an option to easily duplicate or backup files via an API Reasoning:The REST API comes with a lot of options, but it doesn’t allow you to copy files, projects or teams.There’s an option to download files, but not as uploadable content (i.e. as .FIG), nor is there any option to duplicate them, if they are e.g. used as a template for another team.Possible (i.e. my) use case:I work in an enterprise. We have a base design system with tokens that we hand out to external agencies and do some automatic checks via different APIs. I would like to automate the duplication process of these files completely. However there’s no good option to do this at the current moment.

With "Text-wrap: balance" headlines could be made more readable and visually appealing.Here’s how it could look: 

As an admin, when declining an upgrade request, I’d love to add a personalised message so that I can inform the user why their request is declined.

Hi, I’m not sure if this is new since the May update, but I wonder why “empty” (all elements hidden) Auto Layout Frames keep the size of the last hidden child (and I do not mean last in the list, but the last element to have been toggled out of view by the user), making them not-0px high even with nothing in them. See here a file with a Frame with three hidden rectangle: the Frame keeps the size of the last child rectangle to have been hidden. When adding a 0-px Frame to the AL frame, and toggling this 0-px Frame off last, the container goes 0-px. In my opinion, empty AL Frames should have a height of 0. What do you think?

Figma’s file browser always resets the sorting to Last modified, even after I select Alphabetical. This happens when I refresh the page, reopen Figma, or navigate between folders.This makes it difficult to create and maintain an intentional folder structure. For example, our folders are numbered to communicate a clear hierarchy:01 Websites02 Campaigns03 Pitch decks04 BrainstormsThis structure only works when the folders are displayed alphabetically. When Figma automatically switches back to “Last modified,” the order changes whenever somebody edits something, and the carefully designed structure is lost.Please either: Remember the user’s most recently selected sorting option, or Add a setting that lets users choose a default sorting method. Ideally, the preference could be saved globally or individually for each folder, since different contexts may benefit from different sorting methods.

Mapping out flows as part of UX design is critical. There are plugins for this, and we can copy shapes and connector lines from FigJam into Figma… but they can be much more accessible than they are today. In current state, I need to open a FigJam file every time I design so I can copy stickies, shapes, and connector lines into my Figma file for annotation and user flow mapping. It would be great to just have this toolbar directly accessible in Figma files, too!

When we make changes to multiple screen that were marked “Ready for dev” (for example, when updating or swapping a component across several screens), the “Ready for dev” symbol turns yellow indicating a change was made. When clicking on it, we can add a description (of what changed) and update the status so it goes green again.Problem is, there is no way to update the change description in bulk. I copy the change note and click on individual screens, paste the note and then update it. This is very tedious.The alternative is to select multiple screens, remove the status, and then mark them as “Ready for dev” again. But in this case, we can’t add a description.The change description is a useful feature that adds value through the changelog in dev mode. I think there should be a way to select multiple screens and just update the description in one place so that it gets updated in bulk.

When creating hand-off documents I like to showcase user flows by using arrows between different UI elements. I have to use plugins to create these arrows at the moment. When playing with Figjam I notice it had a connector option - this is great. I would love it if we could also have this connector option inside Figma as it would be a HUGE timesaver for hand-off. I would like to think this would be a super easy update given that we can already edit connectors inside Figma. We just need a connector button in the toolbar like so:

I’m currently using Figjam to make some very complex, and very LARGE maps. It feels like the connector noodles are a kilometer long! But that’s exactly why I’m doing it in Figmjam, I want the stuff to stay conencted, no matter how far apart I move them. I know it’s not what most people are using it for, but it would be so cool to select a connector and be able to “jump” or “fast travel” to each of its ends, so that I can trace what it’s connected to.

It would be helpful to automatically generate and maintain a list of all places that link to a specific destination.In my spec, I define common rules in a central location and link to them from every place where they apply. When a rule changes, there is currently no easy way to identify all the places affected by that change.An automatically updated “Linked from” list would let developers quickly find every affected place and update them accordingly. This would eliminate the need to maintain the list manually, saving time and reducing the risk of missed updates.

A great feature to have is text styles not breaking when a designer is using Cmd + B to bold a word or phrase. Currently it unlinks the text style and applies the bold to the underlying font. It would be great if there was a feature where when I use Cmd + B, it swaps to that text style in the library (where the style already exists) and updates in the property panel as well.

I use the arc tool for a few things. One specifically to create circular progress indicators. It would be nice if we could throw on the to-do list, adding variables to set the Start, Sweep, and Ratio here. (Make sure sweep and ratio populate as percentage) Imagine being able to create the component with conditions where on resize, those variable change. That could be helpful. Thanks.

Motion-Driven Interactive PresentationsFigma has become the center of the product design workflow.Design → Prototype → Dev → Slides → MotionThe next opportunity is to connect these capabilities into a new experience: Interactive Presentations.Today, product designers often need multiple tools to deliver a modern product presentation.Figma for design Figma Motion or other motion tools for animations Keynote or PowerPoint for presenting ProtoPie for interactions Screen mirroring tools for live demosThe workflow is fragmented and requires constantly switching between applications.Imagine if Figma Slides evolved from a slide-based presentation tool into a motion-driven presentation platform.Instead of static slides, presentations could be built from Motion States.Each state would represent a fully animated canvas where designers could:Animate individual objects Trigger transitions with a click or keyboard shortcut Pause on any state until the presenter continues Loop animations until user

When I copy assets from Illustrator and then paste into Figma, it pastes as a raster image. Keep it as a vector when I do this workflow.

Coming from a design org where designers with full-seats have a variety of workflow-types. Some designers leverage AI heavily while others do not, thus some designers burn through AI credits and others have a generous amount that go to waste in that AI credit cycle. This trend can vary, of course, so as an admin, I think it would benefit our organization with some type of allocation or redistribution of AI credits to those seats who rely on them during a given credit cycle—credits that are technically available within our organization. It could even be a designer-to-designer interaction where Designer A shares 1000 credits with Designer B if they know they don’t need all their credits that cycle.Is anyone else seeing this trend in their organization, or see this as a potential scenario? I want to make sure we’re getting the most for our money and optimizing resources across the team.

We have hundreds of users in which AI credits are allocated but not used. Meanwhile, we have a few collaborators who are VERY involved with Figma Make and therefore the credit system Figma has willfully chosen (Adobe for example has no credits/plans for credit usage) is not working for us. Dev seats and Full seats should be able to volunteer/share their AI credits for super users. Otherwise the majority of our users are paying for features they are not using (that’s very unsustainable from a business perspective).

Please can we get percentages for variables? We can use percentages manually, but we can’t create a percentage as a variable. This would speed up my design to dev process tenfold, and considering we can already use percentages in the design, why disallow it in variables?An example is I want store values for line height and letter spacing as percentages which behave responsively/dynamically, so when creating type variables I don’t have to do manual calculations, store 10+ letter spacing/line height values based on which font size they will be used with and hope I never change the font size variable in the future.

I’ve noticed when using Figjam that I VERY OFTEN accidentally change the fill color of a shape, when I actually wanted to change the border. This is due to the UI inconsistency between the tool panels when selecting shapes VS lines. The exact same icon (a colored circle) means completely different things in both contexts. When I want to change the color, I’m going to click the color icon. Makes sense, right? Except that’s not how it is. I would love to see more standardised and recognisable icons for the fill VS shape controls. In Figma Design, for example, the border color is always in the same location, no matter if I select a shape or a line. Selecting one or the other doesn’t suddenly cause the same function to change locations and appearance. 

We recently switched from professional to the organizational account. Now I’m busy setting up the teams and projects. Now we are faced with the problem that the overview of the teams is becoming very cluttered. Figma now only offers a grid view. Here we are actually missing a list view option. In addition, it is also useful if we have a search and sorting functionality. We have created 35 teams to divide our work. Our organization makes various software products, but we also make custom software for customers. The number of teams created makes the All teams page very cluttered.

It would be really nice if I could just search the version history to find specific saves, instead of having to scroll through the entire list. This becomes especially annoying if I have a lot of versions saved and am searching for a very old one. Search / Filters that would be nice: text search date filter creator filter
