The eyedropper is great, but there are a few limitations. These limitations are primarily around using the “i” shortcut for the eyedropper. Problem:Using the eyedropper to affect the stroke is an unnecessarily amount of interactions. If the object has a fill and a stroke, using the eyedropper only applies to the fill. Sure you can click on the colour swatch for the stroke to get to the eyedropped, but if it has a colour variable already applied you then need to click to the Custom tab and then click on the eyedropper from there. This results in multiple clicks in order to modify the stroke colour easily. Adding a stroke - current steps:Select the object Click the Plus to add a stroke Press i to activate eyedropper Shift click a variable colour to assign it Modifying a stroke (with a colour variable already applied) -

As a developer I want to be able to generate images based on the template of the designer. I want to be able to use the placeholders in Figma Buzz to dynamically add images to generate a design with variable content. 

In File A I create 20 (arbitrary example) different components that have an icon instance property. File A has access to my Icon library (in another file). So I add all icons as preferred values for my 20 instance props in File A. Now I add some icons to my library and publish the update. Well guess what? Now I have to go through the 20 props in File A to manually add those new icons as preferred value. Imagine this at the scale of a mature international design system. What’s the point of the preferred values feature then?

Migrating over to Figma. Literally found a limit within 2 minutes. In Figma, you can’t end a line with an arrowhead on one end, and a circle or dot on the other. Illustrator has been able to do it for 25+ years. Sketch can do it. Even PowerPoint can do it. But Figma can’t? On the Figma dropdown menu, it mixes up caps with ends. Round and Square are caps. Line Arrow and Triangle Arrow are ends (or tips). Nothing else can be done except arrowheads. I make a lot of wireflows, so this seemingly small thing is actually a big annoyance for me. Has anyone else noticed this?

Hello folks,I do feel like we need to greatly power up the ways to organize styles specially when it comes to typography, specially thinking in terms of design systems and shared styles. Any improvements there are very welcomed, things like:Personalized order of styles per user ( maybe use AI to offer some help )  Nesting os styles beyond an exposed list, menu style with mouse tunnel and all would still be better in cases of more complex systems. Maybe add the another option like in variables: All, In this files, and than add list the sets for user to pick which one he wants to single out. More power here would be very good.Give us options, and I apologize bring this up but I feel like even Sketch at times gave us an easier to consume approach to this. Also:1-% and ems values for variables. WE BEG. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏2-Component level tie up of component variant name to Mode ( Desktop/Mobile), so we don’t have to syn

Hello,At my company, we have an Organization license that allows us to save custom fonts directly in the admin panel.The problem is that my company is a multi-brand company, and its brands change over time.Because of this multi-brand management, the font admin panel is not well adapted to our needs. I need to create folders or categories to separate the different fonts by brand. We currently have more than 50 fonts to manage.When there is a rebranding, we have to remember which fonts and weights are used for each brand, which is very difficult, and delete those ones.Please consider to add folder management, at least 1 level of folder. Thanks  

Hi! I’m trying to create an “author credit” component to document a design system. The component has a link to the original resource. All text will be set using component properties. Is it possible to create a property so the link URL is filled in the instance instead of using overrides?

With all the new AI features in Figma, the only thing missing is generative expand. If we could reframe or crop images and have the tool generate the additional sections of the image—allowing us to freely change aspect ratios—it would be game-changing and bring Figma closer to becoming the true Photoshop killer.

Having a rolling slide deck always being the source of truth (without the need to create copies) makes it super easy for business use - however we are largely unable to actively work on slide changes in these existing documents because of the risk it’s currently being viewed or presented.Being able to create a hidden branch and merge back into the main document (same as Figma Design) would make handling changes a breeze.

HiAs a maintainer of our Figma team (not admin tho) I was wondering if there is any possibility to access Figma Make analytics to understand the following:How many Figma Make files have been created? Which designers/teams are creating Make files? How many prompts are being used in which Make file? Thank you

For User Test Purposes It would be great to have custom IDs for each action a user performs on a prototype. Specially when using external tools that track clicks/links.i.e. if I want to track a click I can do it currently if the user navigated to a different frame that has a individual ID, but that is not possible if for instance the action is to open an overlay.By making it possible to add Trackable IDs to actions it would reduce by a lot the number of artboards needed. Thanks

Dear team,Why is it basically not possible to simply drag and drop a sound file (mp3, wav, etc.) into the platform? This would make things much easier and would also save resources, since audio files require significantly less storage capacity compared to video.As a sound designer, it’s always an extra step for me to convert sounds into video formats—and what starts as a 1MB mp3 quickly turns into a 100MB video. This seems unnecessarily inefficient. On top of that, it doesn’t look very nice to have “empty” videos with just a black screen.Surely there must be a better solution. I’d be happy to support you with my expertise if that would be helpful.Best regards!

I wasted an entire hour trying to figure out why the contents of my frame was bleeding out. Why is ‘Clip Content’ off by default? What a confusing UX decision. I don’t understand this change, it makes no sense. I haven’t seen anyone uncheck that box while working in Figma. Or if they do, they do it so rarely that it doesn’t make any sense to change it to off by default.

  I use custom code (CSS and JS) in Figma to optimize my website’s UI, but the current input area is too short. Editing longer snippets requires constant scrolling and slows me down. It may better if the input fields ara resizable. 

Hello,It would be interesting to be able to transfer an entire figma make prototype to figma in order to improve the design and make adjustments easily without losing the functionality of the prototype developed in figma make.To complete this feature, like many users, it would be useful to be able to save the entire project in GitHub.It would also be interesting to be able to upload modified files! 

Dear Figma team, I suggest a feature allowing vectorising pasted or placed image, as well as making AI generated image immediately vector instead of PNG. Please please add this feature ASAP. It’s the only reason I still have to keep Adobe Illustrator :( I hear vectorisation / tracing images is already available in BETA version .. But I can’t figure out how to get BETA version of Figma myself. 

If I want to add a comment/caption to an image in FigJam I need to create a separate Text and Group the elements together - I would love to have an “auto caption” added to images I use in FigJam - Whimsical has something similar, that is pretty handy, see the video here: CleanShot 2021-05-10 at 16.36.56 · CleanShot Cloud

I occasionally (once is too often) see the AI self-talk mention being unable to see what’s going on due to a “truncated file”. What does that mean. Eavesdropping on its “tinking” I get the impression there are times it can’t access all the code and hast to make blind changes. Is that what’s going in? (It can’t be, right?)

I would like to suggest a few useful improvements to Figma’s Version History view:Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to tag/mention other users (e.g. from frontend team) when saving a new snapshot to the history? It would be great if I could tag or link certain frames, sections or pages when creating a new snapshot. By that I could lead developers directly to currently edited areas of my file in Dev Mode. At least, please make hyperlinks work inside of version commit messages. At the moment no interactive content seems to be allowed.

There are so many figma users in China, but there is still no Chinese support in 2025, while Korea and Japan nearby have it.

Search engines, AIs, and even co-workers have a very hard time understanding what I’m talking about when I say “figma make”. I can’t get much help with it online cuz search engines and AIs think I using “make” as  a verb.Please, Please rename it to Build, or construct or something!

In Apple’s new ‘Liquid Glass’ design language, text and icons can change color based on what they are floating on top of. For example, icons in a tab bar (bottom navigation bar) can change from black to white if they are on top of a dark image (see example screenshots). It would be cool to be able to activate this kind of behavior for certain layers in prototype mode similar to how you can adjust the scroll behavior for certain certain layers. Without this feature, liquid glass prototypes will always look broken if ‘sticky’ elements are scrolling over both light and dark content. 

It looks so much better in diagrams.All the colored lines look goofy. And if you change shape colors, they don’t change with them so it’s very difficult to manage.Clean gray lines solve everything. Win win.

When publishing components in a library - any components which have been excluded should be remembered and remain unchecked during each subsequent publish update.  this might be more intuitive than that contextual hide when published option - which effectively does the same thing in a more hidden way. Maybe that’s the feedback make unchecking effectively the same as hide when publishing - with an easier reversal option.Especially in the early stages of creating a design/component library there is a lot of publishing using the component, making tweaks and republishing - each time the user has to unselect certain components they do not want to show up, but need for whatever reason it’s a chore to constantly need to uncheck items each time.  Just make the system remember please.

Being able to create custom stickers to use in Figjam is a fantastic concept - I’ve created simplified components from the design system to allow BAs a simple drag and drop wireframe maker that worked brilliantly.But I cannot for the life of me figure out the rules that custom stickers use in Figjam - specifically why do custom stickers (and stickies) need to keep thier aspect ratio?  if i want a wider sticker or a taller sticker I should be able to do that - at the very least the sticker should follow the rules for scaling set by the originating design asset (no?) This applies to stickies as well - it’s 2025!  -[real/physical] stickies come in many different sizes now give us some versitility. I always hoped figjam would be a nice replacement for more traditional diagraming tools to create flows and maps - and while you can do these things - I feel it’s much slower and less intuitive. line routing is goofy, text wrapping is goofy, coloring and shading is extrem
