 Mostly I like to use figma on browser (with fullscreen) just because it has more space, because there is no tabbar on browser. So, my suggestion is, there should be an option to hide topbar (or tabbar) on figma app, so users on smaller screen like macbook air will have more canvas view. Most people keep open a single tab, Why to waste entire screen width with tabbar?.Something like “Dock” on mac os. You can hide it, but when mouse hovers on that area it will be shown.  

Figma Make is the best prototyping tool I have seen so far (yes, better, or at least more time efficient, than V0 and Claude Code for now). It also has an integration with Github, which is suuuper cool. Now… it would be REALLY gamechanging, if the connection with Github was a two way sync. If edited code could be pulled back into Figma Make, for team collaboration across multiple platforms. I understand that this is really tricky, because Figma Make can't interpret all types of code… but I'm putting it out there… 

Inputs are one of the most common UI design elements out there. But when you have to use them in a prototype there isn’t a good way to show what they look like when entering text. It’d also be great if we could trigger validation events like on a password input for example. This would bring more fidelity to my prototypes than just about anything.

Is there a way to turn off the AI chrome when sharing the prototype in "Make"? When sharing in the prototype view, I was expecting it to just share the screens but when I shared the link, it showed the make file with the AI chrome. Is this a big? Or will this be an enhancement?

Variables is powerful, “Without needing the designer to fill variables manually”Can a Figma bring it in a new way: We design 3–4 screens AI detects: Color patterns Spacing scale Typography hierarchy Then auto-generates: Tokens Components Variants This is realistic because it’s pattern recognition by AI  

Same as in Slack or Outlook, would like to not trouble my commentees at odd hours and just send the comments I make outside of hours , inside office hours!

With the interactive components, a variant can now have a tooltip. But unfortunately hover and clickactions are still mutual exclusive. I’m designing for a desktop application and having a tooltip per inputelement/button is crucial.

With the increasing popularity of iPads among creative professionals and the device's capabilities now rivaling many laptops — especially with Apple Pencil support and desktop-class processors — it’s surprising that a leading design platform like Figma hasn't released a fully functional iPad app. Is this a matter of strategic prioritization, where Figma believes the current user base doesn’t demand it strongly enough to justify development resources? Or is it due to technical limitations, perhaps stemming from the complexities of maintaining feature parity with the desktop/web version on iPadOS? Alternatively, is Figma's vision more aligned with a cloud-first, desktop-class browser experience, where portability across devices takes a backseat to collaborative infrastructure? If so, does this approach overlook the rising trend of mobile-first or tablet-based design workflows? It would be insightful to understand if Figma simply hasn't seen en

I’m trying to build an iOS app in Make to use very specific features and behaviors that Swift has, one of them being Dynamic Type. Is there a way for me to tell Make to use Swift instead of tailwind and react?

TL;DR: Today, only Variant properties can be set directly by prototype interactions. For Boolean, Text, and Instance Swap, the only path is to bind the property to a global variable and use Set variable from outside. This means component behavior cannot be encapsulated inside the component itself — which has become a structural blocker now that Figma is positioning its files as the source of truth for AI-generated code and apps. The proposalExtend the `Change to` action (or add a new Set property action) so that any component property — Boolean, Text, Instance Swap — can be set directly by a prototype interaction defined inside the component itself. Same mental model as Variant, applied to all property types. The interaction would travel with the component, and each instance would maintain its own independent state. The strategic misalignmentThere is a growing gap b

Hi Figma team 👋This is a feature request for a Radial Layout system, distinct from Radial repeat.Instead of repeating a single object, this would allow arranging multiple distinct elements along an arc or full circle with: configurable angle range (e.g. 90°, 180°, 360°) controlled spacing/distribution along the curve automatic tangential alignment of each item The goal is to support structured radial compositions, similar to Auto Layout but for circular structures, useful for: UI card stacks / carousels radial menus motion design layouts circular visualizations This would make radial UI patterns much faster and more consistent to build natively.

Hello Figma Team,I would like to request a feature where clicking a layer/frame in the left sidebar automatically centers or zooms the canvas to that selected object.This would be very helpful for large projects with many layers and frames, making navigation much faster and more efficient.Currently, users need to manually use shortcuts like Shift + 2 after selecting a layer.Suggested option: Add a preference setting: "Auto focus canvas when selecting layer" Thank you.

Exactly what the title says. Figma already has a powerful API. Figma Sites is a great starting point but is missing a lot of functionality. Something missing in the new CMS is the ability to add data to the CMS using a REST API.Can the Figma team have a look at this? I think it would increase the value of the product. Best regards,R.

Id love to have scroll position as a variable so that i can make paralax effects and prototype interactions based on how far i have scrolled down a page. I know the new site feature offers paralaxing but why not include it in figma design so that i can show my prototypes fully functional.

Currently, using Figma component boolean properties, it only shows when true and hides when false. What if you could switch those around? For example, when something is true, it could show some elements, and hide others. For example, a product thumbnail- when “on sale” is true, show sale icon, show strikethrough price, but also hide original price and replace it with a bolded/colorful/what have you of price. Or if ‘Out of Stock’ is true, show all the ‘out of stock’ stuff material, but also hide the ‘add to cart’ button. Stuff like that. Currently you have to create new variants just to show + hide things at the same time, or add redundant switches like ‘In Stock’ and ‘Out of Stock’ and just make sure they never have the same state.

Hey everyone. I am Alexander and I built a plugin called Design System Sync. I was honestly just tired of manually copying variables over to developers every time I changed a simple hex code. So basically I made a tool to fix this massive pain point.The plugin grabs your Figma design tokens and variables. Then it automatically creates a pull request in GitHub or Bitbucket with the updated code. Your developers just review the code changes and hit merge.Here is what it can do for your workflow:Automatic PR generation saves you from sending zip folders or raw text files on Slack.W3C Design Tokens and CSS Variables support means it works with most modern code setups.Multiple mode export handles your light and dark themes perfectly.Visual change detection shows exactly what you modified before you send it off.The free tier gives you 5 exports a month and includes all the exp

I'd like to suggest a feature that allows users to select all objects connected by arrows or connectors in FigJam.Use case: When working with diagrams or flowcharts, it's often useful to select a group of connected nodes—for example, to move, style, or reorganize a specific flow within a larger diagram.Suggested behavior:Right-click a connector or node → "Select connected objects" Or: select a node, then use a shortcut/menu option to expand the selection along its connectionsThis would be especially helpful for large FigJam boards where manually selecting linked objects is time-consuming.Would love to hear if others have found workarounds, or if this is already on the roadmap!

Hey everyone,As a product designer working with a pretty large internal design system, I kept hitting the same limitation in Figma Variables: they’re great for static values, but the moment you want a scalable system (spacing scale, type scale, radii, opacity variants, responsive values…), you end up maintaining a ton of derived variables manually… or in spreadsheets.Variables Plus — a plugin that lets you define relationships between variables using formulas, so derived values stay in sync automatically when the base variable changes.Examples: space_2 = space_1 * 2, space_3 = space_1 * 3 h1 = base_font * 2.25, h2 = base_font * 1.75 col_w = (container_w - (gutter * (cols - 1))) / cols

User groups in the admin panel currently get an auto-assigned icon (a generic people silhouette) and a randomly assigned background color. It would be great to have the option to customize both, similar to how workspaces already support custom icons and colors. Why it would help:- Makes groups easier to identify at a glance, especially for orgs with lots of groups- Lets teams align group visuals with their internal branding or team identity (e.g. a "Design" group with a design-related icon, a client team with the client's brand color)- Reduces the confusion of having group names and colors feel disconnected (a "Blue Team" showing up with a green icon, for example)

I find the thumbnail is slow to update and often doesn’t update for days (at all?). A work around has been to choose “Restore default thumbnail” and then “Set as thumbnail” on the desired frame. The thumbnail has become an important feature to me and I use it to convey information to my team. The inconsistent thumbnail updates are a little problematic. Suggested solution: an option in the right-click menu for the file to “Refresh thumbnail”.

The descriptions written in variables should be shown when selecting/picking them in respective pickers - maybe as tooltip? Otherwise I don’t see, how this could be accessed/taken into account by the users of our library.The grid view of the color picker shows the actual name as tooltip for example. This could also be used to actually show the description. 

Hello Figma Team,My name is Faraz, and I am a UI/UX designer who frequently uses Figma for both design and animation. While I truly enjoy designing and animating in Figma, I often face challenges when developers request animations in GIF or video format with high resolution.Currently, Figma does not provide a direct option to export animations as high-quality GIFs. From a user’s perspective, this creates difficulties and forces us to rely on external tools such as Jitter or LottieFiles, which makes the workflow less efficient.I would like to request that Figma introduce an option to export animations directly as high-resolution GIFs. This feature would make Figma even more powerful and self-sufficient, eliminating the need for external animation tools and significantly improving collaboration between designers and developers.Thank you for considering my feedback.Best regards,Faraz

ProblemSlots are a powerful way to make components flexible, but today they are too open. Even when using Preferred Instances, designers can still insert any component or element into a slot. This flexibility often leads to misuse and breaks design system consistency—especially in large teams.Example:A Button component has an Icon slot.We want designers to use only approved icon components, but currently they can insert:Any other component Any vector or frame Any custom elementThis results in inconsistent UI, broken behavior, and extra review overhead for design system teams.Proposed FeatureAdd an option to restrict slot content to specific components or component sets.When creating or editing a slot, allow authors to:Define a restri

How easy would it be for Figma to have a simple item in the right-click menu (and main menu) for character count or word count? Surely there are plugins like Word Counter, the one that I just tried and it doesn’t work 🤬. And easy enough to do it on the web. But how about I select the paragraph I worked with and see how many words I have? Right there where I am working? Also, if this exists…educate me. 😉

As a file owner working on large-scale design files, managing comments becomes extremely time-consuming. In many cases, there are hundreds of comments across a single file, and resolving them one by one is not practical.Often, during the design phase, some comments are unintentionally left unresolved. Once the project is finalized, there’s a need to quickly clean up the file—but the lack of a “Resolve All” option makes this frustrating and inefficient.It would be incredibly helpful to have a feature that allows file owners to resolve all comments at once. This would save significant time, improve workflow efficiency, and help keep files clean and organized after completion. Would love to see this added 🙏
