I’m frustrated with the forced centering in the bounding box of images when they are placed.Obviously, for a responsive design, the image is going to be seen vertically & horizontally at the same time depending on the device. This has been super annoying because I’d expect to have an anchoring/alignment positioning for the image so that I can keep the focus where I want it to be for each of its uses. I have all these useless editing options, but no “Top/Bottom Left”, “Top/Bottom Right”, “Top/Bottom Center” options. Just the default “Centered” which cuts off peoples faces or eliminates the focal point on anything that’s not dead center. PLEASE ADD THIS.

I found out I couldn't a while ago, and I apologize to the owners of Figma.I apologize if the chosen category is wrong, I think it is not the right option for my case.

A ton of great features launched yesterday. One of them is Autolayout Wrap. It might be just me but I couldn’t find how to wrap from right to left. This seems weird as Figma did an amazing job of closing its long technological debt when it comes to RTL languages. Please tell me this gap has not been reopened again…

Would love the option to be able add my own AI API Key or be able to incorporate Claude AI features in the Figma Make prototypes. For example, to generate text.

Could you make the height of the each content HUG (like following the largest size) instead of FIX? I'm so frustrated counting the fix height everytime I used this feature 

I would love for there to be a new mode, aside from Design and FigJam for a proper Diagramming tool, similar to Draw.io but better and within a single software. Currently I use Draw.io for UI designs, and Draw.io for UML/Design Diagrams. These become very complex, so do not suggest we use FigJam which in comparison to Draw.io, is a child’s toy. Would love to see what Figma cooks up for this sort of tool, as I really like your design ethos in general. Draw.io has a number of issues which I’m sure you could resolve.

I wanted to check if whether Figma is planning to launch an official MCP server designed for use with Claude—similar to the existing one available with CursorThanks

Sites is awesome!  Even when there are not so much default interaction animations, code layers compensate it. I would suggest to be able to set id on layers just like the html tag , so that code layers could interact with other elements. 

Hey ! I’d like to know if there is any chance to have a vertical marquee effect on Figma Site in the next weeks ? Well, great to have the two horizontal options, but our sites need rythm with variety of directions !  

I think the idea for figma sites is great! However there is some issues I am having. There is no way to connect a backend DB to the site that I have seen. I want to make my site password protected so have made a login system and Figma Make has created an authentication for it which is great and works, but if you type /home in the address bar it takes you into the site bypassing authentication.  The second issue is that there is no way to access the files behind the site. You can use figma make to code components which is cool, but trying to make a site-wide search bar isn't working because the code can't seem to go across pages so can only search things on that page which is pretty pointless. We need Figma Make that has access to all of the sites pages for better context. Another issue is that it's hard to redesign something once it has been coded in Make. If you design something and send it to Make then Make creates an image instead of SVG so it doesn't look great. But also means you

Hi everyone,While working on a design system today, I had an idea that I think could be a valuable addition to Figma—especially when it comes to building out basic UI components.It would be incredibly helpful if, after creating just a single base component (like a primary button), we could use AI to automatically generate the full set of common variants based on that one example. For instance: States like hover, focus, and disabled Versions with or without leading/trailing icons Alternate styles like secondary or ghost buttons Of course, this might be harder to apply to more complex components, but for foundational elements like buttons, input fields, tags, or chips, it feels like it could save a lot of repetitive work.I’m sure there’s more to consider technically, but I wanted to put the idea out there—maybe it’s something worth exploring as a potential feature.Thanks for reading, and I’d love to hear what others think!

Context and ProblemFigma's current Instance Swap Override is a useful feature for swapping singular instances within a component. However, it becomes cumbersome and time-consuming when applied to more complex design patterns, such as:Managing dynamic content for cards, sidebars, and templates. Creating unique combinations of content within reusable components.Currently, designers must create a new component for each unique content combination, which leads to bloated libraries, repetitive work, and a loss of efficiency. This approach also lacks flexibility for managing dynamic layouts, which are more naturally represented in code through structures like parent-child relationships in HTML or Children props in React.Proposed Feature: Component "Child" or "Slot" OverrideIntroduce a new override type, referred to as "Child" or "Slot," allowing component creators to define designated areas within a component where users can **drag and drop any content**. This feature would streamline the wor

I can't believe Figma is forcing this change on us. UI3 is, without a doubt, the most unfriendly design possible. It has made my workflow painfully slow and incredibly unproductive. What’s the harm in letting people CHOOSE which UI works best for them?I always thought switching to UI3 was a HUGE mistake, but I never felt the need to comment on it because UI2 was still an option. Now that you're FORCING this change, I have to speak up.This is NOT an upgrade. It’s a downgrade in usability, efficiency, and user experience. Figma was supposed to be about flexibility and user-centered design—so why ignore the feedback of those who actually use the platform every day?Give us back the choice. Let people stick to UI2 if they want. This forced migration is a slap in the face to long-time users who built their workflow around UI2.

Hello, I used Figma site a lo recently and here are some feedback :The requirement to use a subdomain is quite restrictive. For example, if I'm forced to deploy my site on www.domain.com, I also need to redirect domain.com to www.domain.com to avoid users being blocked or unable to find the site when simply typing domain.com. This redirection then has to be set up manually on the server side, whether through a .htaccess file or an Nginx or Apache configuration. I have the technical skills to do this — it's my job — so it didn’t take me long. But it's far from accessible for someone who isn't a developer. In my case, the simplest solution would have been to host the site directly on domain.com. Dynamic components (e.g : carousel) which have breakpoint variants do not adapt responsively to the screen size. This cause major interface problems. The problem is not observed for static components. Buttons do not have focus states (interactions) which is highly problematic ATM for designing we

I love that with the add-on I can better integrate figma designs to google workspace. It woul be awesome if the chip conversion would also work for google sheets currently its just a link, even if the add-on is installed.  I would love to have it like in google docs: 

In my project, a primary color variable needs to be used with different opacity levels to represent various states. Unfortunately, variables that reference the primary color variable cannot have their opacity adjusted individually unless the alias is detached first. This significantly affects color consistency across the project. I hope a separate opacity setting can be added.  

To add an out animation for an object in Figma slides, I have to create a new slide. Plus, let me trigger the object animation after I change my slide. I don’t want to double-click if I have both a slide transition and an object animation.

Is it possible to change the units on the ruler without a plugin? If so would love to learn how! Trying to make a research poster on Figma, and finding it difficult to confirm that the scale is correct in inches.

I'd like to suggest being able to select different colours for different measurements, for instance blue for 8px, pink for 16 px, so on and so forth. It's easier to standardize my designs, and to help people quickly get the different paddings and margins. Thank you 🙂

Measurements should always display above everything in the UI including annotations. Currently, when I try to get the distance between some elements, it is becoming difficult because it is being hidden by the annotations I have added. Also would love the ability to change the location of the annotations and if they should display to the right/left/top/bottom of the element you are annotating.

Currently, it’s possible to hide both sidebars. I usually work on a smaller screen, in which this feature becomes helpful when trying to review designs on a canvas.I think it would be useful if we are able to hide either just the left sidebar, or just the right sidebar, along with the current feature of hiding both. Hiding the just left sidebar would help designing be more efficient on smaller screens, as having access to pages and layers is not always necessary.

Figma Buzz looks very promising for our team, but there are a few features that our team will need in order to use this product.Autolayout on the parent frame. Email graphics are a great use case for Figma buzz, but often times assets need to adjust in height based on the headline or copy length. Persistent linked data. If I click out of the import pane, all the text linking I did just disappears. Linking groupings of pages. A simple application is a card with a front and back side. The variable data might only be on one of the sides, but I’m still going to want to export the front and back for each card. I need a way of grouping the front and back as a single multipage document that applies to bulk creating assets and exporting them as multipage pdfs. Batch process using template based on data. For example, use the HR department business card template when the field in the “department” column is “HR” and the Finance department business card template when the field in the “department”

I want to favourite some files. But I don’t want to always switch teams in order to see them. That should be a personal favourite that will always show. Regardless of team switch. 

Hey folks, first of all I love the new variable function. Within the setup of spacings I want to reference my base value (“8”) and do calculations, e.g. (spacing-base)*2". This works fine and the value is calculated properly within the input to add a new variable. But I expected not that the calculation string changes to the absolute value. With this behaviour I loose the connection/ reference to my base value and the calculation is some how obsolete. Does anybody feel the same? Will there be an update? Thanks

While cleaning up my file, I hid a frame that I didn't want visible at the time. I didn’t want to delete it because it was still useful. Months later, I needed that screen again. I tried searching for it using keywords, browsed through pages, and even looked through the version history.I ended up reviewing five months of version history, scanning for keywords to locate the screen. I eventually found it—it had been hidden all along. The content was never deleted. But because it was hidden, it didn’t show up in search results.This was frustrating. Search is supposed to make it easier to find things. Just because an object is hidden doesn’t mean it stops being part of the file. Excluding it from search reduces the usefulness of the feature.Request: Please make sure hidden elements are still indexed and searchable. At the very least, give users an option to include hidden content in search results.
