Figma should support rendering drop shadows on both the inside and outside of strokes on closed paths without requiring Outline Stroke.Right now, if I have a circle with an inside stroke and drop shadow, Figma only renders the shadow outside the closed path. Apps like Sketch, Affinity, and other vector drawing apps render the shadow on both inside and outside of the stroke, which creates the expected inner shadow while keeping the circle editable.Same editable circle, inside stroke, and drop shadow setup. Figma doesn’t render the shadow inside the closed path, while Sketch creates the expected inner-shadow without outlining the stroke.Outline Stroke is a workaround, but it’s destructive. It’d be much better if you could keep the circle editable and still get the same visual result.

Hi Figma team,We build a Figma plugin that renders user artwork into product mockups. With Figma’s newer video support, we want users to place a video fill/layer directly inside a Figma mockup frame, then run our plugin to render/export the final animated mockup.Today the Plugin API exposes VideoPaint.videoHash and figma.createVideoAsync(bytes), but we cannot find a supported way to read an existing video fill back as bytes, a Blob, a URL, or decoded frames. Images have figma.getImageByHash(imageHash).getBytesAsync(), but video appears to have no equivalent.Are you planning to add one of these?figma.getVideoByHash(videoHash) video.getBytesAsync() video.getUrlAsync() a REST endpoint for video fill URLs a plugin-safe frame sampling API for video fillsThis would unlock video mockup rendering, video compositing, video export plugins, and parity with image fill workflows.Thanks.

Hi Figma Team,I am writing to suggest the addition of a native Masonry Layout feature within the current Auto Layout system, specifically as an extension of the "Wrap" property.1. The Current Problem: The current Auto Layout "Wrap" feature is incredibly helpful, but it only wraps items horizontally (Rows). When designing interfaces with cards of varying dynamic heights—such as complex enterprise dashboards, product catalogs, or dynamic data grids—we cannot automatically create a vertical masonry effect.The current workaround requires manually dividing items into separate vertical columns (Vertical Auto Layout) and grouping them in a horizontal parent container. This method is rigid, time-consuming, and breaks the logical flow when rearranging elements or demonstrating dynamic data flows in prototypes.2. Proposed Solution: Introduce a "Masonry" (or "Vertical Wrap / Pack") behavior option when Auto Layout Wrap is enabled. This feature should allow elements (with Hug contents height) to a

Please add YAML to FigJam code blocks. Others languages are also welcome in addition to this.

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.

Hi! I’ve created a dialog component in one Figma Make file and I want to use it in another file.What’s the best way to import or copy it over? Should I copy-paste it manually or is there a better way to reuse components across files in Figma Make?

There’s no visible scrollbar in Figma prototyping mode. Yesterday we’re having user testings and once again this same topic popped out. Some of the users didn’t thought that they could scroll prototype because scrollbar wasn’t visible. One of the user was using laptop’s touchpad and he wasn’t able to scroll with only using touchpad. Guiding user how to use prototype during test can harm testing situations. Atleast it’s sure that if user thought that he can’t scroll it leads to biased feedback about product. If there’s some reason not to have scrollbar it could be atleast optional feature that designer could turn visible scrollbar on from options. It’s not only who has came across with this weakness in Figma. Here’s old Spectrum thread about same topic but Figma hasn’t done anything for this yet and I hope this get more attention here.

I’d like to move assets to the top since it’s the main feature I use.It would be cool if we could add, remove and move widgets so that each user can have its own custom toolbar. Personally i’d like to add the library analytics there, for istance.Thank you 🙂

Just wanted to share this, have been waiting for this, can finally ditch After Effects now haha

i can’t upload a pdf without converting it. it’s one of the most basic features and not supported since yearswithout this i can’t switch from miro

Hi,When I want add a PDF to a Figjam board I see a modal window with a few options (see attachment). I do not always want to convert the PDF. And when I want to convert the PDF I noticed that the file is not converted the correct way. Is there a way to add PDF without converting? 

Great to see motion elevated beyond smart animate.Thanks Figma, Great job!Currently as I notice, Motion disables pen Tool,  allows only pencil.Trim paths works for strokes drawn from pencil tool,  open shapes like line tool.It doesn't work for closed /parametric shapes and arrow shape. So having a trim path displayed in its panel doesn't make any sense now.It would be nice to have closed shapes like rectangle to have its stroke animated so we can try gradient or coloured line tuning around it. Currently it's quite a struggle and not straightforward everywhere.Thanks! 

would like to suggest reading aloud the message response on the agent so I don't have to read a long conversation while seeing the design. I can hear it discussing and follow the design so it's easier for me. I want audio playback for every agent reply so I can listen while staying focused on my design work. This would make it much easier to follow longer conversations without shifting attention away from the canvas.

As far as I can tell it’s not currently possible to add strokes between rows and columns in grid, which would be very helpful for data tables. If I had strokes to the content in the cells it either looks like this if the cells are set to hug content: And if I set the cells to fill the strokes align nicely, but the text is cut off:The best “hack” I’ve found so far is to add a row with a column span going the full width of the grid and insert a 1px line with a width set to fill. It works as a proper table in terms of responsiveness, but the downside is that you have these dummy rows, which can be a little annoying when reordering content. It would be a lot easier if I could just set a stroke color (or possibly width, but that could also just follow the gap size).

Hello, Are there plans to keep comments within pages/frames when: Duplicating a page Copy-pasting all the elements within a page Duplicating a document I tried all three methods and the comments don’t get copied across, there’s also no way to select them to manually copy+paste them. I see absolutely no reason for this not to be the default behavior when performing all of the above actions. Are there plans to introduce this? If so when do you plan to add it? Thank you!

It would be great, if one could search for Figma variables within the library analytics. Benefit: Evaluating how often a variable is being used:  Can a variable be deleted?  How big is a breaking change?    It would also be great, if the analytics view would be fullscreen. Especially if you have long token names. (Adjustable column width would be a solution too)   

I want to be able to see looped animation / motion play in the prototype view without jerky frame resets not just the motion panel. I also want to be able to duplicate animation blocks, colour code them/name them, cut them up and drag them in the timeline and be able to easily flip reverse them. Can’t see a way to do this with the beta atm.

Include a search bar in the Library analytics panel to rapidly select a component without having to scroll through the list of components.

The left side bar with agents, files and assets is taking up too much space for things I dont need to design.  I design on a small laptop and I want to minimise it as its just too much UI.

I would love to be able to create one prototype across the pages in a file that resembles an actual website. This would be ideal for bigger projects and would be easier to maintain as well. We can connect the component libraries across all the pages anyways. A way to connect the prototype would be great in my opinion and that will give Figma a big leg up on other platforms. What do you guys think?

I've been using the Figma MCP for a while and wanted to share where it's been falling short for me, because I think it points at a positioning question.Right now the MCP feels built almost entirely for Design→Code. That path does work — but in an inefficient way and in it's also the part Figma already handles well in manual operation (Dev Mode, Code Connect, Make), so it's not really where I was hoping an MCP would help me. The work I actually wanted to bring AI into is different:Reviewing UX copy Inventorying details that are painful to audit by hand — inconsistent states, missing variants, token drift, naming gaps Content management across many frames Most importantly, getting an AI to follow the logic of a design, not just its pixels A lot of this already sits beyond what Figma's built-in features and plugins can do, so it felt like the natural place for an AI layer to add something new. But in practice it's been rough: every call is slow and very token-heavy, I end up stacking mult

Playing around with Figma Motion and seeing a big chance to dump After Effects for explainer type graphics. However… currently the video export doesn’t support 25 or 50 fps. Which is what we Europeans shoot our videos at. Would love to see it added, so I can more easily integrate it into my video workflow.

Hi Figma Team,I'd love to see a native table component system built directly into Figma, similar to what Whimsical offers.Right now, creating tables in Figma requires manually building grids with rectangles and text layers, which is time-consuming and hard to maintain. When content changes, the whole structure needs to be rebuilt manually. This is a significant friction point for designers working on data-heavy interfaces, documentation, or print layouts.Whimsical handles this beautifully — you can create a table in seconds, add or remove rows and columns dynamically, and the layout adjusts automatically. The cells resize to fit content, and the whole thing feels like a first-class design element rather than a workaround.What I'd love to see in Figma:- A dedicated Table tool in the toolbar- Dynamic row/column addition and removal- Auto-resizing cells based on content- Ability to style headers, borders, and alternating rows natively- Easy copy-paste from spreadsheets (Excel, Google Shee

I've been testing Figma Agent for Auto Layout conversion and screen recreation workflows. While the results are promising, I encountered a few recurring issues and have a suggestion that could improve the experience.1. Auto Layout Application IssuesWhen working with existing screens that do not have Auto Layout properly configured, the Agent struggles to apply Auto Layout correctly.Observed behavior: The Agent often modifies or breaks the existing layout structure. It applies Auto Layout only to some frames while skipping others. Multiple attempts with additional prompts, feedback, and explicit rules did not consistently improve the results. 2. Screen Recreation from Existing DesignsWhen recreating screens from scratch, the overall layout is good, but asset preservation needs improvement.Observed behavior: Images are often replaced with different images. Icons are substituted with similar but incorrect alternatives. The recreated screen visually resembles the original but does
