When applying a text string variable to a text layer, it’s not possible to search for a text string by content, only by its name. This is rather inconvenient for the localization plugin we’re using, which gives each string variable an inscrutable number for a name. Here I am searching for “smith” in this panel and getting no results, even though we have variables that contain the text “smith.”  The good news is that if I open the variables panel, the search field there is able to search for string content in the various modes. It would just be great if the little “apply variable” panel could as well!  

Nested properties do not show up when selecting multiple instances of components Example when selecting 1: Example when selecting multiple: My expectation would be to also be able to set up the decoration left icon when I'm selecting both layers. 

The animation capabilities are absolutely fantastic, especially being able to export as an animated SVG. It would be ideal if we could export as a MOV file because videos with transparent backgrounds mean we can create lower thirds and multiple different video assets. It would prevent us having to use After Effects or any other video tool 

Favourite fonts will be shown on top of the list, while the rest of it will be shown below the favourite list. We should also be able to remove and add while viewing the fonts on the font list.

Get paid templates of figma and framer for free with this method ‼️ You could also with this clone any website design and import it into figma — there is the method : 1) Go to the framer marketplace or figma marketplace and search the template that you want and then click on the preview link and get redirect in a new browser tab who will open the preview of the website; 2) Copy that preview link and go to this website www.uploop.space and paste the preview link on that website. Then launch the process and click on the bouton "Export to figma"; 3) When the process is over, you'll get an portable svg file who is the website pixel perfect that you want to clone with exact fonts, sections and all the entire website ready to be redesigned as your wishes. Bonus: If you want to retake that pixel perfect clone and import it to framer again, you'll just need to use de figma plugin on framer to import it. Note: It's works well on any framer/figma websites templates (paids or none) . You could ne

Now that we have variables support for text styles, it’s taking a while to update all the properties to match text variables. It’d be really, really helpful to be able to apply variables to multiple text styles at once, by selecting all font styles that we want to apply a variable to and editing the property, since most of these are shared between different styles. With that feature, text migration to variables would be super easy and seamless.

It is a reasonable request.

JSON Code not updating the durations after making adjustments to the timeline. I’ve tried to close it and reopen. I’ve republished the component. Not sure what else to do.

I noticed a usability issue with the Figma Agent placement. Since the Agent icon appears on the right side of every frame, it often overlaps the area where users expect to grab the resize handle. While resizing frames today, my cursor repeatedly landed on the Agent instead of the transform handle, which disrupted the interaction.Possible improvements:Move the Agent to a corner of the transform bounding box. Keep the current alignment but add more spacing between the frame edge and the Agent icon.

It would be great to have the option to share plugins created with the agent across the organization in order to standardize workflows and methodologies.

Hi, We’re trying to export some assets from Figma (either JPEG or PNG) is fine, but running into some issues with resolution. If we export at 1x, the image is low quality… however, if we export at 2x it doubles the dimensions of the image itself (for most ad platforms this is fine, but this time we need it in the exact dimensions) I’ve tried exporting at 2x and scaling down using other online tools, but the assets then become low quality again. Anyone else had this issue / managed to solve it?

ProblemWhen a vertically scrollable frame is nested inside another vertically scrollable frame, scrolling works inside the child until it reaches its top or bottom edge — at which point the scroll locks in place. The remaining scroll input is never passed to the parent frame, so the user has to physically move their cursor outside the child frame to continue scrolling the page.Current behaviorScroll input is captured entirely by whichever scroll container the cursor is over. When that container hits its limit, the input stops there and does not propagate.Expected behaviorMatch how browsers handle nested scroll containers by default: once a child scroll region reaches its edge, the leftover scroll should "chain" up to the parent, letting the user keep scrolling the page in one continuous gesture without repositioning the cursor.Proposed solutionAdd a scroll-chaining option to the Overflow settings on the Prototype tab — equivalent to CSS overscroll-behavior. Ideally with two modes:Chain

💡 [IMPORTANT] Feedback: Support for Relative Units (%, em, rem) for VariableWhile we are on the topic of variables, we desperately need support for relative units in number/dimension variables.• The Suggestion: Please allow us to input values using percentages (%), em, rem, or other responsive CSS units not just absolute pixels (px).• The Impact: Modern web design relies heavily on fluid typography and relative spacing. Having to calculate and hardcode everything in pixels limits the true power of Figma variables for front-end handoff.Please look into these issues, especially the spacing regression in the latest UI.Thank you!

The process for publishing and updating is bizarrely clunky for such an integral tool. It seems like no big deal until you’ve got a very big project that lasts for months. The time spent farting around in menus, when there could simply be a button, is just a waste. There’s also a lot of opportunity for mistakes when you think you may have accepted a small update and have missed it, which happens over the life of a very long project, and leads to unnecessary frustration. It would be very helpful to have a button directly in the UI that is an easy single click to publish. Additionally, a little icon to the right of it that fills with color when a linked file has been updated, clearly indicating there’s an update to review, would make a world of difference. (Doesn’t have to be that, I just hate asking for change without offering ideas 🙂) The pop-up can still exist, but now we don’t need to travel so far to get to it. And again, that doesn’t sound like much, but I’ve been working o

As seen by the video, if i enter text in your file search and then try to clear the field with the x, nothing happens. Assuming this is a bug?

Dear My Love.. Figma Team, I wanted to share some critical feedback regarding the recent UI update to the Local Variables panel, along with a highly requested feature suggestion. 🚨 [IMPORTANT] Feedback 1: Excessive Spacing Between VariablesSince the latest update, there is a massive, unnecessary vertical gap/spacing between each variable row in the table (as shown in my screenshot). The Issue: This drastically reduces information density. It looks less like clean UI and more like a bug.• The Impact: For large design systems with hundreds of primitive variables, this requires an exhausting amount of scrolling. It completely disrupts the workflow and makes the panel feel cluttered yet empty at the same time.• Request: Please restore the compact, dense layout or at least give us a "Compact View" toggle in the settings. 💡 [IMPORTANT] Feedback 2: Support for Relative Units (%, em, rem)While we are on the topic of variables, we desperately need support for relative units in number/dimensio

When a Text Style's font size is bound to a variable and made responsive via modes (e.g. mobile/desktop), the actual rendering on the canvas updates correctly for the active mode. However, the typography summary in the side panel and the Text Styles list keep showing the default mode's static number, not the active mode's value. Color variables display their variable name in the same panel, but font size stays a raw number. This asymmetry confuses teams during review. This isn't new. The same issue was reported in November 2024 and is still unresolved: https://forum.figma.com/ask-the-community-7/mobile-typography-size-showing-even-after-switching-mode-of-frame-to-desktop-19286 As explained in that thread, variables dynamically change a text style's visual representation but do not update the style's underlying metadata shown in the side panel. So this cannot be fixed through user settings — it's the product's current behavior, which is why a product improvement is needed. Current behav

Every time I search for something, All the top results are 6 years old and no longer have anything to do with how Figma works these days. with the rate at which new features are being released. I would like to sort the results by newest, so that I can actually find results that are relevant to the recent versions of Figma.

This feature enables users to directly extract and copy text from images (JPEG, PNG, etc.) within Figma. It utilizes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to recognize and convert text within an image into editable text layers. This functionality enhances productivity by allowing designers to quickly integrate text data from visual assets without manual transcription. Use Cases: Efficient Workflow: Designers can seamlessly transfer text from mood boards, screenshots, and scanned documents into their designs. Accessibility Improvement: Extracting text from images and converting it into editable formats can help improve the accessibility of documents by allowing for easy adjustments to text size, color, and font, making it more readable. Error Reduction: Reduces transcription errors and saves time by automating the text digitization process. Implementation Suggestion: Integrate an OCR button within the image toolbar in Figma. Once an image is selected, users can click this bu

It would be great if we could select different device frames for each flow. This would give huge benefits to those who design responsive websites side by side.

There should be an easier way to change text formatting to text on the same page. Similar to eyedropper tool with colour, but changes text to the same format as what was selected. There is a feature like this in Illustrator, and I use it all the time. 

Hi Figma team,I’m developing a plugin that exports Figma Motion animations to PAG, Tencent’s vector animation file format.While working on this exporter, I’ve encountered several gaps between Figma Motion’s canvas rendering and the animation data currently exposed through the Plugin API.The most important issue is the transform anchor or pivot point. I cannot find a reliable API for reading the actual anchor used by Motion. This becomes critical when a designer has manually adjusted the anchor point. Reconstructing it from the node bounds, relativeTransform, absoluteTransform, or the first animation frame is not always accurate, especially for rotated groups and nested nodes.I also could not find detailed documentation explaining how node.animations should be interpreted and reproduced outside Figma. Some areas that need clarification include:Whether Position values are absolute coordinates, parent-space values, or offsets from the static transform. How Position, Rotation, Scale, Width

Currently Figma only allows scrolling to objects within the same frame. This makes difficult to hyperlink to a particular location in a different frame. E.g. when making the main navigation menu in a website to navigate to specific headings in a different page

Hi! First, thanks to the Figma team for all the hard work. Now, let’s talk about Figma Slides Templates. To edit the template styles, I have to select a slide first — which feels a bit unintuitive. In Figma, when you click on the canvas without selecting anything, you can access the file’s styles. Can we bring that same concept into Slides?When I open the template selector, I can edit the styles there through a dropdown. Is that really the best or only way to manage styles in Figma Slides? I don’t think so.Colors & Text Styles: I can delete them, but only through a pretty complex interaction — right-click?Layout Grid: How can I set a default grid? Right now, I have to manually add my custom grid to every new slide I create. If we can't set a default, the feature kind of loses its purpose. :(
