Ability to pin objects to the side of a container

Please allow an object to be pinned to the side of a container without having to manually position it. Dragging an absolutely positioned object is imprecise and error-prone. It would be better to make it like CSS where you can enter numerical distances from the top, right, bottom, and left sides and have the object automatically honor the values. Here’s a graphical example:

Prototypes that fill viewport

Please allow frames to fill the user’s viewport while viewing a prototype. This will let both the designer and the viewer to get a better sense of how a page will feel in the real world and eliminate the need to set frames to be some arbitrary lowest common denominator size when a prototype features scrolling sections. It will also set the stage for responsive prototypes whenever Figma adds those.

Figma Mobile app: "Zoom to 100%" feature

Hi Figma team, I would love if you could add a “Zoom to 100%” feature in the app. When we design for mobile devices, we always design for a 360px width screen (a smaller Android) to be sure that the design works on small and large screens. As the app’s default zoom mode is “Fit to screen”, and we usually mirror the design on a mobile with a large screen (for example an iPhone 14), it makes it tricky for us to judge typography, spacing, and other elements as the size and the design is not accurate. So, if you add “Zoom to 100%” we would be very happy. 🌟 Keep up the great work, Patrik

Code2Design and Design2Code

current situation： Code2Design: we need to add props or notes onto Figma layer. Design2Code: according to props/notes we can restore code. better design: Design Component based prototype such as Tabs/Button. And then we add theme system onto prototype. If we need Design2Code: prototype need marks CodeDesign. And design theme could adapt to CodeDesignTokens

Add "Ignore Nested Layers" to export options

Would love an option to Ignore Nested Layers when exporting, similar to Ignore Overlapping Layers. Often if I’m creating a banner ad or something similar with a background image and content on top of it, I will set the background image as the fill of the frame and then nest the text and buttons for the ad inside of it. This seems like it would most closely match how I’d set it up in code. The problem is, if I now want to export the background image at the exact crop I’m seeing, I have to hide the nested layers.

Change wording of "Use as Mask" to be more descriptive of object state

Hi! In the right-click menu, the wording “Use as Mask” is consistent whether you want to create a mask or remove a mask from an object. This is confusing because “Use as Mask” is the opposite of what you want to do when removing the mask from an object. My suggestion is to update the phrasing to be reflective of the object’s current state. Maybe “Use as Mask” and “Remove Mask”. Adobe Illustrator uses “Make Clipping Mask” and “Release Clipping Mask”. Anything more explanatory would be helpful. Thanks!

Don't make me jump around when editing a component master

I find it very aggravating that to edit a master of a local component, I have to jump around to a random part of the document, or restore the component and have it be deposited in some random location. Just let me edit a master in some sort of modal or sidebar interface, regardless of where it is on the canvas or if it’s even on the canvas. This will also make it easier to see how my changes are reflected in my actual design without having to pan or jump around over and over.

Prototypes Switched ch any Component in Page

Hi, imagine you have a switch whose synchronizes state is relevant in many screens. If you don’t want to set interactions on main-component but instances and keep some instances synchronized, you have to do a trick: blend button with state A off, same time blend button underneath with state B on. Short: would be great to have interactions option: „change to” for any(!) component in page (not only for the selected one). Regards

Please let containers scroll even if content doesn't overflow

This is dumb and bad. Never ever show this. A container should still be scrollable even if its contents aren’t beyond the fold. This allows users to at least feel that it is scrollable if there was more content. Insanely dumb on Figma’s part. Does anybody work at Figma. there’s probably some dumb hack of putting frames inside of frames and whatever to get the desired behavior, but I care about future people who have to use this god awful tool. Please make it make sense. Thanks.

Improve the contrast of the highlighted menu item in the Quick Action Menu in dark mode. When keyboard navigating its hard for me to confidently select a quick action menu item bc I cant see the contrast between regular and highlighted menu items.

Allow to change scroll speed

Maybe if we could alter the speed at which the elements of the screen move, we could generate interesting effects such as parallax scrolling. Imagine you have a frame and an image object inside that is going to scroll at 0.75x of the regular speed. This will create a parallax effect.

Allow creating new variables directly within a variable sub-group

Currently, newly created variables always appear at the root of a variable group. When you have sub-groups within variable groups this behavior gets annoying fast, because it means scrolling up from the sub-group to the top of its parent, finding the newly created variable, and manually dragging it down into the appropriate subgroup. If the sub-group list is long and a lot of variables must be created, this can be a tedious exercise. It would be fantastic if we were able create a new variable at any level to eliminate the need for this manual step.

Ability to highlight comments with different colors

As a designer I would like to be able to color code comments in Figma as well as make personal or hidden comments for myself. It would be great to be able to discern questions from comments, suggestions, edits, and feedback without having to go through each comment.

Make the Version History header sticky

Would be really really really helpful if the version history header of the list would be sticky instead of scrollable. It’s incredibly annoying to scroll through endless save points, but when trying to edit, forgetting you’re browsing version history because you can’t see the Version History header on the right side, in the list. And if I want to close it I need to scroll all the way tot the top to pres the X button to close it. Make it sticky please. It’s a simpler interaction

Control developer access settings separately to viewers

Split access controls for developers and viewers, they should be separate roles. Use case - I want to share a file with an external partner to review a design, however I don’t want them to be able to copy or export the file, although I wouldn’t mind if they shared it with their colleagues. However I also want my developers to still be able to export assets from this file when it’s time for handoff. Currently all these settings are grouped under one setting; “Allow viewers to copy, share, and export from this file”. A better solution would be to split out each action e.g. copy, share and export and also be able to change these access controls per role (developer and viewer): This needs to be implemented before developers become paid seats, at the moment they just have the same permissions as viewers.

Component menu under resources should remain open

Hi, I use the Resource popup to select icons. I search for the icons and drag them to the design file. Every time the resource popup is closed after drag, I think it should open until I click somewhere on the design file, or I can close it with a close button. When I want to choose more than one icon, every time components load again, this is unnecessary.

Instructions view for Developers in Prototype mode

I want to leave instructions to the developers inside the prototype mode (see attached examples), and I couldn’t find a good plugging. 📯Figma - Can you develop an instructions view that has an on-off toggle?

Freeform Gradient

I think it would be very useful if we had a Freeform Gradient tool, like we see in Adobe Illustrator. There is currently a plugin (Mesh Gradient) that has this function, but we know it’s not the same as what we see in Adobe Illustrator. My suggestion is that you make it identical to Ai. This is one of the functions I miss most in Figma.

Provide ability to prevent updates from automatically appearing in prototypes after sharing them externally

Collaboration is great… when it’s the good time ! Designing is a process, and it can take a bit of time, it can need some internal discussion, etc… Once I have share my first screens in my prototype with my client on an url, my work continue. I don’t want him to be perturbed by my evolving frames, or I don’t want him to comment when it’s not the good moment… How can I continue working and avoid him to see the changes until I decide it?

LAUNCHED: Min and Max Width for Auto Layout

I would like to add a max-width to a text box while using auto layout to keep the word count per line at a reasonable minimum. Currently, I have the text element set to “Fill Container” which makes the text respond very nicely to the screen size. But because it is set to “Fill Container”, the text spans the entire width of the element which makes the text lines more difficult for users to read quickly. If a max-width was set, the component should respond until it reaches the max-width, which would help keep the line length down. I also feel like there are many other circumstances where max and min-width would be extremely helpful Anyone else having this issue? Or does anyone have a great fix/hack to get around it? Looking forward to seeing what you have to say. Cheers,

AAA anlyzing

When hovering over elements in the web browser inspector, you can get an AAA rating based on how accessible the design is for people with visual impairments. One of these things is the contrast between colors. It would be nice if we could get a similar tool for Figma to help us keep an ease of access approach to our designs 🙂
