I’m not sure if this is possible, but could you make a feature to hide the quick create toolbar on FigJam? It’s constantly in the way of what I’m trying to see and for some reason the tool bar doesn’t have a move feature. I would greatly appreciate the adjustment, although I know Figjam is still fairly new. I’ll also be posting to the community to see if anyone has found a work around.
It would be nice to be able to customize how many slides are in one line before it wraps. 18 slides is so many to slide back and forth when I want to compare 18 + 19.
Hello ! I am experiencing an issue when trying to export any SVG that contains PNG. Every SVG will have a black square instead of PNGs. I think I’ve found the issue but don’t know how to correct it. When I export the same object as SVG in Adobe Illustrator it shows the images properly because there’s a parameter called “incorporate images”. On Figma, images are path which are linked to a “def” who contains the picture. I think it’s why I can’t export my files properly. Is there a plugin, a widget, a parameter that can fix this problem ? Like allowing me to export my files in the same way as Illustrator by incorporating the picture directly in the path ?
Will it be possible to to use plugins like Unsplash within Figma Slides?
When presenting and you forget to spotlight yourself, someone else can request you to spotlight. This feature is great! However, as the recipient of this request this banner is very easy to miss. It’s top-center, tiny, and most importantly: it’s in the exact same size/position as the “you’re spotlighting” banner. So at a glance, while you’re busy presenting, it looks like you are already spotlighting. This could be much more prominent to grab your attention.Blinking dot? Bigger overall size? Make a sound? A little side-to-side shaky animation? etc
A new preview mode/present mode where you can view your design in a browser view (i.e. Safari,Chrome or ARC etc) similar to how we can already view our design on different devices such as iPhones, MacBooks and iPads. This would be a cool new feature!
It would be incredibly helpful if Figma introduced a "Master Layout Guide" feature. This would allow users to manage all layout guides (columns, margins, grids, rulers, etc.) in a centralized way.The idea is to have a single control panel or visibility toggle (like an eye icon) that can show or hide all layout guides across a page or project—especially useful when working with multiple frames or components.Currently, layout guides are managed individually, which can become cumbersome in large projects. A master toggle would significantly improve workflow efficiency, reduce visual clutter, and help designers focus better while working.Please consider this enhancement for a more streamlined and user-friendly experience in Figma.
This is tiny, but would help tremendously to be efficient with keyboard in Figma. Every time I’m changing icon size (or any other size) I use multiples of 4px. Here’s the process:Select {{element}} e.g. icon Press ‘k’ to activate scale tool Default active input is the multiples, but it’s harder to figure out what is the multiple of getting from 24 px to 20 px as opposed to writing 20 px in the input When you press tab it iterates over anchors and eventually get you to the top of the menu, so you have to use mouse to click above to either Width (W) or Height (H) Proposed solution: Make the default active input width, if people need to use multiples, they can use tab twice.Alternatively: Make multiple (1x) the first input, so that you can Tab to width and height. This would save me so much time on a daily basis 🙏
Hi,I think it would greatly improve the starred pages in the sidebar if you could organize them in separate folders or categories. Now it is one long list that makes it difficult to easily find what you’re looking for.
Describe the problem you’re experiencing and how your idea helps solve this I like to work on my iPad Air with Apple Pencil. It’s great in Miro app. Lets me deal with comments or make small adjustments while away from the big screen. Now Figma is not very useful on mobile browsers. Most tools are disabled. One workaround is Figurative app but that is only marginally better and not developed for the last few months. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc. Anyone tried this on Android tablets? Some funky workarounds like connecting keyboards or hacking browser settings? I guess it’s okay on Windows based tablets and convertibles, at least non ARM based ones. What about phones? And what about proper companion app, like Miro has? Thanks!
Enhancing Component Flexibility with Slots: A Real-World Scenario"We often find ourselves needing to edit content within a component instance without detaching it. While a 'change once, update everywhere' approach for simple variant states is great, we really need more flexibility within those instances."Understanding the Power of SlotsThe Slot feature introduces a powerful new component property acting as a designated placeholder within a master component. This allows components to achieve both rigorous standardization and dynamic flexibility. Designers can now freely swap, add, or remove content and structural elements inside a component instance, all without ever having to detach it.When combined with Auto Layout and other Component Properties, Slots make components significantly easier to manage and far cheaper to maintain. This approach is particularly effective for use cases involving diverse content, frequent content updates, and high reusability, like those found in enterprise
Is anyone else running into a lot of memory issues since upgrading to UI3? Seems the memory management is worse than it used to be.Getting memory limit errors on files that seems much too small to justify them. Had an issue where I could not merge a branch back into main due to running out of memory. Even running the operation on a PC with 96 GB of ram (yes, ninety six) did not fix the problem (what? HOW?!) I just tried to disconnect a bunch of frames from their component masters (with a lot of nesting) and the operation failed. First it asked if I wanted to reopen in recovery mode. Then the interface just went away and left me with a blank window.I use a lot of nesting to make my mocks responsive, and I build everything from components so I can use properties to configure each one how I need. My approach has always been hard on Figma and performance regularly ground to a halt, but this behavior feels new. Is anyone else dealing with new and more frequent memory issues lately?
There is no easy way to collapse all text styles and groups in the variables window. Even adding Option/Alt click ability like you can for the Layers panel would be helpful.
I noticed a few posts about this but they were closed.In Settings > Billing, the ‘Payment details’ modal does not show a payment method, and I don’t know if I have one on file or not. What is shown here creates the assumption that there is not one on file. I understand that the billing invoice will show the card brand and last four of the payment method, but in my case for example, on an annual plan, the last invoice was nearly a year ago and I’ve changed cards since then.I could just fill this out again(?), but I think the management of it could be improved.It should show the payment method on file, and include typical options seen on other sites that accept payments:Edit Make default Add Remove
HiI think it could be very practical if we could resize these panels. And that they would maintain that size individualy.It’s a bit annoying to scroll so much.Thank you
HiI think it would improve productivity a lot if we could scale objects with the selecting tool and pressing CTRL while dragging handles.Thanks
Hi Figma team and community! 👋As a product designer who frequently works with complex layouts, I've really appreciated the flexibility of Auto Layout. However, I’ve noticed a few limitations with Grid Auto Layout that I believe could be improved to make the design workflow even smoother.Here are my suggestions: 1. Remember previous Grid settings when switching backWhen switching from grid auto layout to horizontal/vertical layout and then back to grid, it would be great if Figma could remember the previous settings (e.g., column/row count, spacing). This would save time and avoid repetitive reconfiguration. 2. Add “Fill”, “Fixed”, and “Hug” options to Grid Auto LayoutCurrently, these sizing options aren’t available in grid mode, making manual resizing tedious. Bringing consistency in size behaviors across all layout types would be a big productivity boost. The Grid Auto Layout currently doesn’t support the 'Hug' sizing option.3. Make row/column selection click-based, not hover-basedRi
Example: Variables and modes created for different values at breakpoint sizes Components created with those variables applied In addition to number variables (spacing, widths, etc.), variables for nested property switches are applied per mode to accomplish changes that aren’t currently variable types (scales, font sizes, visibility, etc.) The goal is to allow for components to be responsive via automatic application of property values, whether top level or in nested components. This is primarily of interest to our team in Design mode but I think it would be useful in Prototype mode as well. That way if a component constructed with nested property variables is placed into an “iPad” mode frame, its nested properties also get set to the properties/variants that make the display correct for the iPad mode. Currently without this support, trying to convert components from supporting device sizes via variants to via variables turns into a big mess of some things (spacing, etc.) we can apply
On the grid. Can you make the sizing dots available on all sides so don’t have to scroll to edit sizing. I know you guys looked it already, but if there’s a way to make adjustments based on the lines rather than the dots, it would be helpful! I’d also like to be able to set breakpoints on the grid boundaries with variables. This would really allow me to replace too many layers with grid and build tables with grids. Cant really do this now.
A productive feedback software fosters productive feedback culture! What I experienced in your Forum / Issue Tracker:✅ The forum guidelines recommend “Search before you post”. ❌ But the search function is currently very mediocre!Please make sure that one can least…Decide in which fields search shall match: Title, Body, Fulltext. (e.g. Github in:title) Highlight where the query matched in your the search results . To quickly grasp relevance. Filter by issue status: Open, Closed. You have that data per issue, make use of it! Screenshots of the current experience:
I don’t think this used to be a problem, but since the new update it’s now full of bugs and I really miss the old UI. The bottom menu is a waste of space, just put it back in the top and let us use the short cuts! I have a habit of creating components outside a frame and I noticed that recently, it’s super hard to select objects grouped by auto-layout! I’m forced to put the whole thing in a frame just to do this or it will drag out individual element eventhough they’re all inside an auto-layout! Another thing about ‘Shift + I” shortcut for inserting components is that it will always prioritize inserting inside an auto-layered object closest to my cursor rather than where my mouse key is pointing, EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Hi, I have been searching to disable the “Spell Check”. While the Online Guide explains it clearly where to find it, intuitively I wouldn’t expect it there.To me, Spell Checking is either a user-setting or a preference of the application, not specific to the document or whatever I’m currently editing. I would suggest either moving or adding the “spell check” to the user-settings dialogue or the application-preferences.Option AOption B Let me know what you think Regards Lukas
Every good forum usually has a “meta” category where to submit shortcomings/proposals on the forum software itself.Due to lack of this I will post my Meta suggestion into the closest available category, which is: Share Your Thoughts → Share Your Feedback.But I recommend you to create such a category, which is a best practise.
This is an easy-to-implement suggestion, with a lot of value for devs. Please add { position: sticky; top: 20px; z-index: 10; } to the note type name in the documentation https://www.figma.com/developers/api#node-types. It gets really frustrating having to scroll up to find out to which node type that propriety refers.
Widgets are hard to use, allow them to either be stored in the UI on the left (or right) similar to how the HUD is customisable in Adobe suite. Or allow the plugins to ‘escape’ the figma software boundary while in use for space.Also - I just wanted to send quick feedback from the app but ended up on a bit of a hike, to here. is there a way to just very quickly submit feedback from within the app?
