I would love if I can curve this line path. On the canvas itself.

I haven’t found this in “coming soon” for variables… As it works now, a variable can control properties only of the topmost component instance. You have to assign a variable again and again to each instance each time you place it, you can not nest components with variables at all.

There is lot of market out there which provides illustrations or assets in the form of EPS. (for example, freepik assets). Prototyping tools like sketch already supporting the EPS file and it’s easy to use them inside it. But Figma lacks the support of it and I think we should have that in the near future. Do you guys know any workaround to import the eps into figma ? I am preferring a free approach because illustrator and sketch are paid tools.

This could be a very simple but welcomed adjustment from Figma that could have great impact on the way we work. Hundreds of times a day we select either a color, text or effect style. The problem is the amount of unnecessary scrolling we have to do to get to the values we want to use. It seems like a very simple code adjustment that would greatly speed up our work.

Hi Figma team,I’d like to share feedback about the new layer thumbnails / previews that appear in the Layers panel.These small background previews create a significant amount of visual noise. Instead of quickly scanning layer names, the eye is constantly drawn to the gray squares and tiny images.In practice this makes the panel harder to use when working quickly:White or light-colored icons become almost invisible on the gray thumbnail background. Many layers end up looking like nearly identical gray rectangles. Text names lose visual priority — you start looking at the pictures instead of reading the layer names. Overall scanability of the Layers panel drops noticeably, especially in large files with many similar components or icons.For fast everyday work the previous, cleaner list of layers (without these previews) was much more efficient. The current thumbnails rarely provide useful information and mostly add distraction.It would be great to have an option to turn these layer previe

Hi Figma team,I’d like to share some feedback on recent UI changes that affect everyday workflows. 1. Inconsistent way to apply number variables to Width / HeightPreviously it was easy to bind a variable to dimensions. Now the behavior is inconsistent:For Width and Height the only reliable way I’ve found is to click into the number field and press =. Right-click on the Width/Height field does not offer “Apply variable” (quick btn was the best). At the same time, at least right-click on Corner radius still shows “Apply variable”.The old quick affordances (variable icon / Apply variable in the dropdown) seem to have been removed from Dimensions and Corner radius, which makes the action much harder to discover. The = shortcut works, but it feels like a hidden workaround rather than a clear primary method.It would be great if Width/Height and Corner radius had the quick btns or at least the same right-click / hover affordances as Corner radius (and other numeric properties). 2. Create Comp

Nice to have the option to “hide from publishing” a whole column on the variable table or the option to “hide” a mode.

It would be super beneficial to have a feature that allows for zooming in/out on prototype presentations, this would allow us to focus in on smaller details when needed!

Hi Figma team,I’d love to suggest an improvement to PDF export.Use case: I often work on a single page that contains many frames (slides / variants / iterations). Today, if I need a clean single multi-page PDF (one PDF containing multiple pages), the best option is File → Export frames to PDF.Problem: this exports everything on the page and the page order depends on the layout (left-to-right, top-to-bottom). In real files, I usually have draft frames, alternative versions, notes, etc. So to export only what I want, I often end up: moving/hiding unrelated frames, or copying the frames to a brand new page just for export. That’s extra friction compared to Adobe XD, where exporting a multi-page PDF from a selection is straightforward.Feature request: Add an export option like “Export selected frames as multi-page PDF” With a toggle: Selection only And ideally a choice for page order: selection order / layer order / auto order (L→R, T→B) Alternative idea: allow users to “group/tag fr

It would be incredibly helpful if people could download a PDF copy of a prototype presentation!

I would love it if we had a way to export multiple PDF pages as an export option. Do we have that option here in Figma? If not, that would be awesome if we did!

People have been complaining about this for years. I have to add ® and ™ to strings of text in my artboards. The superscript version of the character must be the same size as the rest of the text string, or it will not be vertically aligned properly with the rest of the text. The ®™ symbols are much too large, especially in headlines, but if you reduce the font size of that character, it drops down too low and is no longer in the superscript position. In Sketch or any other proper app, you can adjust the baseline of the specific character (baseline shift) so that you can re-align it properly. You can EASILY accomplish this in CSS and create specific styling for the “sup” tag which handles this in code. Why is it nearly impossible to replicate what is easy in any other app in Figma? I’ve seen people complaining about this since 2018, so I take that as an assumption that Figma will never fix this issue? The only way to get a properly aligned and sized ® or ™ in a line of text is to creat

In Figma desktop, it would be super helpful to group to tag different tabs. With many files open it is hard to find and organize the tabs I am working on. I often have around 20 tabs open. Similar to how chrome groups tabs. 

Is it possible to create my own custom shapes for use as shapes in FigJam? I am drawing complex process flows, and I need to use a few vector grphics (for example, an octagon) which I created with Adobe Illustrator as FigJam ‘shapes’ so that I can annotate them with text and connect them to other shapes with connector lines. I haven’t been able to find instructions on how to do this. Is this doable? If so, please let me know how. Thank you in advance.

The problem:Right now, when creating complex interactive prototypes, you have to manually set up the same animation and trigger settings for every single new connection.The suggestion:Introduce a feature that allows users to copy properties from one prototype interaction and paste them onto a new or existing connection (e.g., using a shortcut like Cmd/Ctrl + Option/Alt + C and V while in Prototype mode). It should work exactly like copying fills and strokes between frames in Design mode. This would drastically speed up workflow efficiency, especially when fixing or rebuilding flows from scratch. Example: Copy the connection properties from other frames and paste in Interactions.  

Hi! I’ve been testing figma motion and I noticed the preview is always at 60fps or more, not really sure, but there is no way to change the preview to something else, I would need to be exporting the video at 30fps or 24fps everytime I want to check on animation  timing. Any way to change that or is it something for an upcoming update?

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this Screenshot and sample file below. I’m using an iMac sized frame with extended height. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that this is the now the default view when using multiple flow starting points and is the only way to actually change the flow starting point. So you have a constant trade-off of whether you want to see the Figma controls or your prototype’s. Annoying as hell. EDIT: When sidebar is hidden, the fixed header is visible but inaccessible. As soon as the cursor hovers near it, the Figma UI appears over the (clickable) website header. Wow… Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) https://www.figma.com/file/WlYbWyHwtBGEFZihdMt2az/Bug-Obscured-fixed-header?node-id=0%3A1

"Please add support for fully custom workspaces in Figma, similar to Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. Users should be able to move, dock, and save custom panel layouts to fit their personal workflow and make designing easier."

This is functionality I used to use in Sketch, and I really miss it! Now that Adobe owns Figma, I wonder if this feature could be implemented. I work with a team of visual designers and we use Figma for all our design files now (we love it!). But we still do more complex compositing in Photoshop. Rather than the hassle of saving a PNG every time I make a change to a graphic and re-linking it in Figma, I’d like to be able to import the .PSD and have it update as a dynamic link. Let me know if anyone has questions about this. Thanks!

Hi everyone,I'm learning Figma Variables and I'm facing an issue that I can't figure out.My setup:Figma in Google Chrome Free (Starter) plan Personal Draft file Latest Figma UI (UI3)What's working:✅ Color variables work perfectly. ✅ I can create String, Number and Boolean variables. ✅ I have set the correct scopes (e.g. String variable includes Text content).The problem:String Variables I created a String variable (e.g. Sign In Button with the value Sign In). According to tutorials and the Figma documentation, I should be able to bind it to a text layer's Text Content. However, when I select a text layer, I only see variable options for typography properties like Font Size, Font Weight, Line Height, etc. There is no option to bind the actual text content. Number Variables I created Number variables. They don't appear for properties like Corner Radius, Padding, or other numeric properties where tutorials show they should. Boolean Variables I created Boolean variables, but I can't

I am quite certain I am not a robot. However, when creating an account just now using a work-specific email so that I could accept an invite to a Figma team, registration was a very frustrating affair. The CAPTCHA was far too long (5 questions), the instructions were maddeningly vague, and I failed multiple times. Each failure meant having to do the entire 5 question CAPTCHA again from the beginning. I attempted to switch to the audio version, hoping that might be easier for me to understand, but I failed that too. As a result, registering a new account took at least 15 minutes, and had it not been necessary for a work assignment, I would have given up altogether.Please consider changing your CAPTCHA to something that can be more easily completed by humans. While I certainly understand the desire to avoid spam signups, other websites with similar challenges have found approaches that require a user to, at most, click a checkbox. Perhaps Figma could follow a similar model.

Je suis assez déçu de Figma ces dernières semaines/mois.Beaucoup de mises à jour qui changent la prise en main des habitudes. Pas grand chose mais chercher tous les 3 jours ce que l’on a l’habitude d’utiliser c’est exaspérant.Sans parler des regressions en chaine sur les slots, le comportement des autolayouts, les ratios qui recommencent à se comporter n’importe comment alors que c’était devenu un super outils.On sent bien que vous êtes en train débattre contre l’arrivée des iA mais s’il vous plait. Continuer de proposer un soft de qualité.

When working with variables it is really annoying that the Variables window closes on esc. I want to dismiss sample color or selecting another color from my styles as examples, but instead it closes the Variables window.

I’d love a toggle to turn Motion off in Present mode while I’m still storyboarding.This would be a great option for when I am just testing things out and don’t want to present just yet. Or when I want to make sure storyboards and frames flow well before getting distracted by the motion. Maybe this means I work backwards, but does anyone else feel this need?

With the admin updates that came out on March 11, there is one new feature that we would like removed or able to be turned off by an org admin.When a user requests an upgrade in Figma, this new feature allows the user temporary access to the functionality of that seat for 3 days (unless the admin replies to the upgrade request sooner). Here is the description from this article:To ensure users aren’t blocked from collaborating while admins review their seat request, they’ll be able to use the functionality of the seat they requested temporarily for up to three days. During that time, they can create new files and edit any files where their teammates have given them edit access. They will not be able to edit files they do not have edit access to. The temporary access ends immediately if the request is denied or expires.Prior to the updates on March 11, this was the behavior for dev mode requests -- users would get temporary dev mode access for a short amount of time while they waited for
