The fastest way to suffer in Figma? Try building a design system icon library with stroked icons - resizing alone can turn it into a never-ending headache Example: You draw a line icon at 24×24 with 2px stroke (e.g., hamburger icon).If you resize it to 48×48, the icon gets bigger but the stroke stays 2px. The only way to scale stroke proportionally is using Scale tool(K) manually. That works until you use few icons. But not building a lib.Icon wrapper could be a solution. But wrappers can only resize, they can’t apply Scale(K) for you. So the icon’s weight looks wrong at different sizes.Workarounds don’t scale: Big libraries explode with variants (1000 icons × multiple sizes (at least 6)). Outline/flatten strokes breaks editability - and icons must stay editable because you often need to go back and adjust them. Keeping “editable source” + “flattened output” in sync is not sustainab

I’ve just discovered this new panel for page ruler guides. With that, I’ve realized that all the guides that I had placed in the past in my files are gone… Most importantly, the new way to interact with them is a massive downgrade from the super intuitive flow there was before, and it’s buggy as hell!Now after I place a ruler, sometimes I can’t move it around with keyboard arrows even though it’s selected (showing in blue). Most of the time, I can’t delete the selected guide with the keyboard, I have to go to the right-side panel and remove it with the mouse. But sometimes, this right-side panel doesn’t even show up on selection (not that I actually want it to show up, it’s just one more inconsistent behavior).Am I the only one experiencing this? Can we just revert back and forget about this mess please? 

I regularly need to work with screenshots of webpages, which can be a couple thousand pixels tall. I need these images to be actual size. Can’t do this in Figma cause it automatically scales large images down. I know there’s a plugin but this seems like a silly thing to rely on a plugin for, there should be an option native to Figma that lets us shut this function off. Or give us an option to scale the image back up to the original dimensions? (even if the quality’s going to get wrecked) This has been such a huge thorn in my side! Please & thank you!

I’d like there to be a quick way to restart a figma make prototype preview. currently, I have it pasted in my Figjam for a design review meeting, and once i go through the interaction, theres no way to easily start from the beginner. 

There’s a lot of plugins, and especially for certain features that there’s a lot of plugins for, like finding Icons/Symbols, there’s certain plugins that i prefer or like, but can only access them through the Recently Used section, but it disappears if I use other ones. There should be an ability to favorite a plugin for reuse.

We are looking to setup an interactive Figma prototype of our new app so that we can quickly try out new ideas without code. We were very excited to learn about Figma Make via the upsell in the prototyping panel! Mainly because it would enable our coder colleagues not familiar with Figma to contribute on some design work. That could be such a productivity booster!But oh boy the disappointment when we learned that the purpose of Make is to generate application code instead of something that is useful for us to build upon. This is a weird direction for a design tool. How did you come to the conclusion that anyone would want to implement the application first and then manually create the designs and prototypes to iterate on? Make should output a plain Figma Prototype that we can build upon. AI can not replace the user testing cycle. Once happy with the design and ready to implement, it would indeed be very useful with a tool that gene

Does there exist a setting that would allow me to prevent URL links from being clicked while designing? I want them if I’m viewing a prototype. When I’m designing though, I’ll often copy and paste copy from our website which has a number of links in it. Then as I select text to work with it I inevitably click the links. It’s almost as if my mouse is attracted to them. It drives me nuts.

Lately I’ve noticed that when I have several nested components, I would only like to be able to modify some and not all. This would allow the component that draws on other components to have efficient adaptability in its contextual use.

It really annoys me that Figma automatically creates subfolders when you export an element that’s inside a component and has a ‘/’ naming convention. I always have to go back into the folder and delete the folders or rename everything. It would be great to have a simple checkbox toggle in the exports panel to enable/disable creating subfolders, similar to Illustrator.

It would be great to be able to seperate the visibility objects beyond just the layer. To be able to associate a boolean variable to the visibility of; Layer Fill Stroke Effects Would make it more effective when putting together a design system. This means that you could effectively determine that all buttons have outlines, or drop shadows or both right across the whole design. See examples below. Thoughts?

Figma make has been super useful! I like that you can click elements and there are basic things you can edit, such as font, size, spacing, etc. It would be even better to take it further by allowing basic editing right in the file, without having to go as far as creating it into a design file.For example, I wanted to delete some text elements. Or change some text, move a couple things around. These simple things are a lot faster to just do yourself, than ask AI to do little things and wait. Then you might not even like it and want to change it back! Sincerely, I’m impatient and also like getting my design hands dirty.

Previously, Figma Make let you launch a console for debugging bugs, but this feature was removed after the latest updates. Why? Now you have to publish the app and launch the console in the browser via developer mode, which is extremely inconvenient. Bring back the console!

Please… PLEASE! For those of us with lots of simultaneous projects and heavy deliverable schedules, tab browsing in Figma needs some LOVE! Now, I’m not one of those psychos that keeps 300 tabs open in their Chrome browser, but I do, at any given time, need access to multiple projects simultaneously. If I could easily group those tabs together in Figma and give them a nice, friendly name, maybe an emoji, or… dare I say… a color, I’d be a really, really happy camper.  

Would love to have more options on the typewriter effect, such as easing.  Also would love to have more/better control over parallax scrolling (direction, speed, distance all as separate parameters).

It would be great to have a feature that allows you to hide or lock a page in a file. There have been moments when stakeholders will keep peeking at the work before it is ready for review. Having a hide & lock feature would be nice to have so that if you do share the figma, they can only access the pages visible to them. 

Здравствуйте подскажите пожалуйста как можно добавить шрифты в фигму если работаю на ipad

I am using variants to enable dark and light modes for example and it works automatically for almost everything except for overlays. I have am user flow with an overlay menu that opens when I click on a button or icon. I want to display how to shwitch between light/dark modes. So when Im in light mode and open the overlay menu (light) and then switch to dark mode and then open this menu again its still in light mode and I dont see a way to change this using the “Change to” nor “Set Variable” options in the “On click” prototyping option. How can I simulate this consistently without having to use two different menus (one for each mode)?

It’s just very bright, and I’d like to get some work done at night without killing my eyes. Please add dark mode. FigJam especially, but it’d be nice throughout. Yeah, just remember the user likes a dark mode, and make dark mode the default for everything: your website, this forum, Figma, …

I use Figma Sites to build websites for companies. Overall, I like it a lot. Pages are easy to create, and links and effects work well with very little effort. However, there are some essential things that I currently miss.1. Usability for non-designersI build websites for clients or colleagues who need to manage the finished website but are not familiar with design tools like Figma.There is currently a CMS feature, which allows text and images to be edited in a table. However, this does not work for all pages. I cannot find a way to make the homepage editable for other users.Ideally, every element that should be editable could be connected to the CMS in such a way that other users can manage the site exclusively through tables, without interacting with the design canvas at all.2. Quality of Life improvementsWhen I create multiple CMS

With the emergence of skills for agents becoming very popular, are there plans to create agent skills for the various dev API you offer? For example, skill for plugin & widget development. Skill for dealing with the REST API, etc.

I ran into a common Figma Prototype issue:when the first animation uses After Delay (e.g. 10s auto-play for a hero carousel), it doesn’t start in Present mode unless the page is refreshed.Small preview works. Full Present mode doesn’t.The delay never starts, and progress indicators stay frozen.After some testing, I realized this is because the starting frame doesn’t reliably trigger initialization, so After Delay has no real “entry point”.My workaroundInstead of relying on time-based logic on the starting frame, I switched to event-driven triggering: On Mouse Enter (or any explicit interaction) Immediately navigate to a transition frame From that transition frame, start After Delay (10000ms) Then move to the next carousel slide This transition fram

It would be really helpful to have the ability to group opened Figma tabs in the top bar, allowing users to create collapsible and expandable folders, similar to the tab groups in Google Chrome.

It would be so great to have some additional filter options when browsing search results. In a large organization, there can be dozens of files spanning years, all with similar names and content. It’d be great if one could still sort by recommended results, but filter by the modified/created date

The fill is not visible on a vector shape unless its closed. Many applications and the web supports fill on open vector shapes, but not Figma. Please allow something like this. This red area should be fillable by the paint bucket.  

Figma Prototype : In large IT companies and design teams, it’s often a struggle to manage design review tasks because we constantly need to jump between Figma and external management tools (Jira, Asana, Notion, etc.) just to track: what page or element was assigned to us for review who is responsible for feedback what review status each screen is in ✅ Proposed Feature: Review Tab Inside FigmaIntroduce a new “Review” tab, similar to the existing Dev Mode icon, that enables teams to manage review assignments directly in Figma.🔹 Key Features1.
