Figma Folder Thumbnails

Feature Suggestion: Custom Folder Thumbnails

We all know that folders currently display thumbnails based on the files inside them. While this is useful, it would be even better if we had the option to set a custom thumbnail for each folder.

For example, imagine I'm working on products for Meta and have separate folders for WhatsApp, Instagram, and Facebook. Instead of showing file previews, I could set the WhatsApp logo as the thumbnail for the WhatsApp folder, the Instagram logo for the Instagram folder, and the Facebook logo for the Facebook folder. This would make folders much easier to identify at a glance and help improve organization, especially in large projects with multiple brands or products.

It would be great to have a "Set Folder Thumbnail" option that allows users to upload an image or choose a file frame as the folder cover.

If you'd find this useful too, please leave a comment or like this suggestion so the Figma team can consider it.
