Dear Figma Team,I am a big Figma fan and want to fully transition from Adobe, I’ve identified two key text-related SIMPLE features that would greatly improve Figma’s layout design capabilities: Text Wrapping Between Text Boxes Figma currently lacks the ability to wrap text between multiple text boxes, making multi-column layouts cumbersome. A native text threading feature (like Adobe indesign) would allow text to flow dynamically between boxes, especially when resizing frames. Hyphenation for Improved Text Alignment Long paragraphs in Figma often result in uneven spacing at the edges. A hyphenation feature (like Adobe Indesign) would automatically add dashes to break words at line ends, improving readability and visual consistency. These features would make Figma more versatile for typography-heavy designs and streamline workflows for users transitioning from other tools.The community has been asking for this improvements for years and still we have not seen any response from you. Pl

Feature Request: Replace Image Fill with Existing File ImagesHi Figma Team,When working in Figma, we often need to replace the image Fill of a shape or layer. Currently, the only options are to re-upload from a local file or copy the Fill from another layer.This workflow has two major issues: Copying a Fill often overrides the target layer’s properties (corner radius, strokes, shadows), rather than just replacing the image itself. There’s no way to directly choose an existing image from the current file as the replacement source, like we can in Sketch. It would be very helpful if Figma could add a feature to select and replace image Fills using images already present in the file, with these benefits: Show a list of all images used in the current file. Allow replacing the Fill image without affecting other properties (corner radius, stroke, effects). Support batch replacing images for multiple layers at once. This would significantly improve iteration speed for teams working with

PROBLEM: Currently, if you and a user outside of your team both have paid Figma accounts, and you need the other person to be able to edit your file, you need to pay for A THIRD account. i.e. For TWO freelancers to edit the same Figma file, you need to pay for THREE Figma accounts. This is clearly a terrible customer service experience and I suspect it’s a common issue as you’ll see from Figma’s own Product Support team response below. SOLUTION: The ideal workaround would be to offer free editing when both accounts are paid. Alternatively, if it’s an expensive service to provide, it seems reasonable for Figma to charge a clear fee (e.g. Editing collaboration: $2 per file per month, or $5 per project per month). Please upvote and add to the discussion. For reference, here’s my last message from Figma’s Customer Support, who are clearly trying to help solve this problem: Hey there Paul, Thanks for reaching back out. Again, all editors in your team space are billable to you. Even if Robin

Whatever I try, I can’t seem to work with .mov or .webm videos with transparent background on Figma. Whenever I upload them, I get a black background. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a workaround for this?

I would very much like to have the ability to add/subtract/divide/multiply variables (or a given value) to other variables to create new variables. See the examples below. This would add so much more flexibility as it would add a level of flexibility to design systems while at the same time maintaining consistency across designs. It also means that you can change just a few “master” variables rather than having to update everything. Thoughts?

I rely sometimes on Figma to help with microcopy and I can see the AI features have been helpful to accelerate my writing, is there a way to inject, update my writing guidelines and tone of voice into the modal so it gets the overall gist of how we want to write

Has anyone else experienced a problem like this? I would like to understand why Figma is using such a sophisticated, misleading, simply a sharp practice of billing their services? I am a freelance start-up that has been charged for 8 other people accessing the file I have created. I have allowed access only for two of them and they shared further (probably) and I have been charged an additional $120 for their access. I was never alerted to the fact that apart from the monthly subscription, there will be additional charges. I don’t want to be a part of a service that is so wishy-washy in their billing offer. It is a disgusting practice. Probably I will look for alternatives to this service.

We share a lot of decks in Slides with our clients and many of them need to be able to export our presentations as PDFs to share with their team or whoever. Currently, we send them a link to the Slides deck and also attach a PDF. It’d be great if our clients had the option to export PDFs themselves from the presentation view if they need to. 

Hello Figma Team, We’ve been excited about the launch of Figma Sites and have been testing it as a potential solution for our company’s website.  The experience so far has been great so far but as we dig deeper, we’ve run into a few areas that seem limited today. We completely understand this is to be expected while in beta. But we’d like to get some clarity on a few critical items:  General Availability: When is Figma Sites expected to move out of beta and into full release? Site Structure: At the moment, subfolder structures (e.g., website.com/feature/subfeature) aren’t supported. Is this planned, and if so, is there an expected timeline? Redirects: It seems redirects are also not supported. Will redirect functionality (including handling of trailing slash versions) be added, and when? Are there any recommended interim solutions? 404 Page: We also couldn’t find a way to create a custom 404 page. Is that capability available yet, or is it still on the roadmap? Cookies & Tracking:

This came up because I wanted to copy dropshadows from one image to another, but because the image itself is considered a property, it replaced the other image with the one I copied. Which is annoying. It’s fine to have pre-made styles in a separate library that you link to your file, but sometimes you’re just trying to quickly iterate and work and don’t want all the background effort an entire library would take.It would be nice to be able to go to the sidebar, right click ‘effects’ to copy all effects or right click a single dropshadow to copy that specific effect. Same for all the other options in the right sidebar. 

I prompted Figma Make with a particularly long prompt attempt, but it caused errors.So I restored to a previous version to get back to baseline.Now many of my very small future prompts are failing while the AI is working with the “try again with fewer inputs” error.I’d like to remove my previous long prompts from the history manually as I suspect that’s not helping the “fewer inputs” problem I’m experiencing.

In order to help guide a client or stakeholder through a design when my team isn’t available, we use comments to explain our decisions. We recently noticed that anonymous viewers of prototypes can no longer view comments without having an account. In our use case, users won’t need to respond to comments as they’re used as a guide, which makes signing up only to read them very inconvenient and a big friction point. It would be great if there were a way that those anonymous users can be allowed read access to the comments in the file. If they wish to leave a comment, then they could either sign up/login to an account, or use something like the solutions offered in Easier access for commenters. Without this, we will be forced to find a new solution to guide users through our decision-making process without needing them to watch/skip around a long screen recording or us having to remake all pages and comments in a PDF or Invision.

One of the biggest problems my design systems team faces is designers breaking instances.Figma should allow teams to “lock” certain components/component sets so that users can’t break instances. It’s nice to have freedom in Figma, but at some point we need to be able to control certain aspects of our libraries and files.

Figma needs an autolayout option for tables, or grids. None of the extensions or apps work well. Designers like me need to make grids all the time. Right now, I make autolayout rows, but they invariably need to be synced with the column header, which I do manually by editing fixed width.  Please add an autolayout for grid that would allow items to be in both a column and a row. 

After a late switch from Sketch to Figma about six months ago, here is my conclusion regarding the UX of Figma:While Figma has many great features that Sketch does not have (dev mode, way more capable prototyping, variables,…) the general UX of the tool is just sooo bad! Here are the things that annoy me most:Visibility of functions: There are so many functions hidden below a small icon that has no label. Much stuff is hard to find. And what drives me really nuts: When a function is not available, then its UI element (or entry in context menu) is hidden – not disabled! I’m using Figma for UX Design, and it just feels so wrong to use this tool that does not handle UX basics correctly itself.   Library management – publishing components: You can do this from the book button on the top left where you usually update components from other files, but publishing is mixed in here if you click on “This file”. But then you can only publish all changes. If you want to publish only a few changes,

In my organization, we have enterprise level Figma or something like that and we use branching.So, without adding too much info, the situation is: The design file linked with library file.And in the design file we have stuff going on.And then we have branches from the design file. The scenario I had this week which cost me sleepless nights and two days of headaches, plus additional work on cleaning the mess out:And yes, I know, I’m partly responsible for that but I will add my conclusion in the end. So one day it was decided in the team that we need to alter one input in the input component (one variant). I made the change. Unfortunately, forgot to first train on a branch, but I thought “hey, it’s just one input, just adding some element to it” (let’s say it lacked an asterisk to be obligatory as a feature of the component).I rolled the change to branches and I think I just updated one of the branches as I was specifically needing this change just there (unfortunately, some 5-6 pages o

Hi there, I’m a French designer sometimes working with both French and English, it’s always annoying for me to switch between the English and the French spell check because I can’t select both options. Do you have any solution for this? It would help so much!!

With any large organization users when accepting invitations to Figma are not mindful what they type as their name.  When someone simply uses Initials or a First name it makes it difficult to reconcile users or know what users are doing.  Please update the Administrator functionality to allow changes to the persons name.     

Hello, it would be nice to have the option to insert floating components inside text (like Emojis). Use case would be for signs or infos in complex dashboards. Its a hustle to do this now manually and also set kind of boundingboxes to sync different heighs of text and component. Regards

Figma has added percentages to text styles, which is fantastic. However, when the style is linked to a variable, the percentage is removed, and uses px units instead. I am trying to set up my design system using a scalable token system, and little features that don’t quite work are so frustrating. Please allow variables to support percentages! It will help us not need to use plugins like Token Studio. 

I think the "contact us" function is very poorly designed and has caused me a lot of trouble. After submitting my feedback, such as a request to modify invoice information, I only received a toast message saying "figma will contact you soon". However, I have been using figma for 3 years and I don't know how to contact you. Until today. I think you should provide us with a way to contact you, such as a link on the webpage. After confirming, the pop-up window should disappear. Otherwise, it will cause a huge and unnecessary workload for customer service. I hope you will seriously consider this。 

The fonts looks sharper and crispier in Figma due to the font-smoothing css property that applied in Figma’s CSS style by default. Hence the font-smoothing property is deprecated and the support is limited to MacOS, it is misleading when designing on a Mac and looking in any web browser on Windows. Providing an option to disable the font-smoothing in Figma settings will let us get the same results in Figma and web browser regardless of operating systems. Thanks in advance!

I switched from XD to Figma late last year. And I am beyond pleased to make that switch. There are only a few things I have found that I prefer how XD handled them. One of them is a certain functionality in the Presentation view. In XD you press the play button and it shows a preview of whatever “frame” you happen to be on. If you have prototype linking built-in, you can click through using that. If not, clicking on the screen jumps you to whatever frame happens to be to the right of your current screen in your canvas. But most importantly, if you have your presentation on one monitor and your working file on another, you can click on a specific “frame” and the presentation automatically jumps to that frame. This is extremely helpful when presenting your designs. It may be rough mockups that you don’t want to have to create a full prototype for, or you are just discussing the design and need to jump around to different screens. It can become nauseating for people viewing your presentat

In Preview Mode(Prototype) I can’t drag it outside of Figma Window, if I have other screen I can’t drag in to other screen for multi-tasking. I want this option so bad! I am a two screen person and it’s irritating. I know I can open present mode in new tab then drag it to other screen but sometimes that’s a hassle.

Ctrl + tab should switch between most recent tabs rather than switching between tabs sequentially.
