Suggest a Feature

Are there any plans to enable communication with other tools / API’s etc. in Presentation mode? It would be super interesting to see such possibility e.g. using a new Action type, or just an extra “Open Link” parameter like “API”, “Open in background” or something like this. If that would be ever possible - it should be doable to communicate two different Figma prototypes with each other using kind of a Bridge app.

Hi Figma Team,I’d love to suggest a small but powerful feature that could significantly improve workflow for designers working with large files or design systems.It would be extremely helpful if Figma could display: The number of times a component is used (instance count) A list or link to the pages/frames where it's being used This feature would help us quickly assess how widely a component is being used before editing or removing it. Especially in files with many pages and scattered usage, this would save a lot of time and avoid unintended issues.  

I want to measure the demission within the frame and accurately spacing it, but if I measure it with a ruler, I have to calculate it. Of course, there is also a way to make a square to measure the spacing. But I think it would be much more convenient if there was a demission function, so I'm sending my opinion. Hope you have a good day. Thank you.

As a UX researcher, my goal is to bring the stories and content I gather to life visually. With the ability to transcribe interviews easily and pick out specific parts, it would be amazing to take it a step further and automatically generate a flowchart based on the user stories. The same workflow could apply to someone who is mapping out more technical flows. inspirational tool: Whimsical AI: Text-to-flowchart

As IoT devices become part of our everyday environments — from smart homes to wearable health tech — the demand for seamless, secure, and intuitive mobile apps is growing rapidly. But building these apps isn’t just about code — it’s about crafting interfaces that feel effortless and function in real-time across connected devices.We just published a deep dive into how iOS is powering the next generation of IoT experiences. This article explores the tools, frameworks, and UX challenges of building smart, scalable apps that users actually enjoy.Check it out here: https://magicfactory.tech/hire-ios-app-developers/Perfect read for designers and developers creating the future of mobile!

Currently the only two ways to resolve merge conflicts is having to go through each page one by one and choosing whether or not to keep main vs keep branch. batch resolving all conflicts by choosing main or branch. The first way is so tedious, especially when there is only one small change that needs to be merged on one page in the branch, but all the other pages have changed a lot in the main. So we have to go through every single conflict and mark it as main except for the single page that needs to be branch. This is exacerbated by the slow rendering of each conflict, so we have to wait about 15-30 seconds for each to render before being able to select main or branch. The second way does not allow us to have much control over what is main or what is branch, and prevents us from being able to easily selecting the page(s) that need to keep branch. It’d be nice if there was a multi-select option where we can scan through the list of conflicts and choose which ones should keep main or

Drag and drop to shuffle properties of components doesnt work with new UI. It work fine on old one.

Does anyone else have a hard time organizing Figjam pages?Would be great to have dividers/subpages to be able to organize these better!

I put a bunch of stuff in a section and named it Section 2. If I then select that section and export it, it exports (correctly) as Section 2.png, but in the exported png it actually includes the little “Section 2” pill or whatever it’s called. This has to be a bug… right? How do I turn this off?

 1. Formulas in token values (mathematical operations)   It would be incredibly useful if we could use simple formulas (e.g. paddingXS*2 + paddingXL*2) when determining token values. Many design systems (for example, Ant Design) use this approach to dynamically obtain tokens. Currently, we haven't even found an analog that can be implemented without any plug-ins). The lack of such a feature makes the work a little more difficult.2. Transparency support for color tokens     Currently, if we need a semi-transparent version of a color marker (for example, purple is 100 at 50% opacity), we have to create a separate marker or manually redefine opacity, which breaks consistency. It would be great if we could keep the original color marker and just apply an opacity modifier (for example, "purple-100" at 40%) without resetting the base value.  Thank you for reviewing these improvements — we are glad to see how Figma is developing!!   

give the ability to change the icon in the master instance - buttons, without the need to wrap it in a layout, and create a HAG for the layout, because you have a default instance size set in the master component for all instances

“Rectangle” is not editable This is a small one, maybe. When adding new layers, I can see their name in the inspector but cannot edit the name directly. I only can edit in the Layers pane.Somehow that’s weird for me. Let’s make it more direct, shall we?

Conditional interactions are half broken at the moment. For example, all I want is to create a switch for light / dark mode for my prototype. We already have the “Set variable mode” action, but I cannot use it inside a Conditional if/else. All we need is to be able to do something like: if library/mode == Dark Set variable mode == Light else Set variable mode == Dark There’s also no else if(); while not a deal breaker, it would save time instead of adding another set of if/else (plus the bugs that come with it). Or we could have a switch action to switch between 2 states / values / modes, that would be great to use on switch components and require way less fidgeting with actions.

It is not obvious in the default view of an open document that the user needs to create a frame as a canvas to start a design. Suggestion to either have a visual tooltip pointing to the frame icon in the toolbar alt. a “create frame” button centered on the main area/window. 

I think it would be much easier to use annotations if they were highlighted when hovering or selecting an asset / frame / object that had one attached. Right now it’s a bit overwhelming trying to find the right line.  

It would be great to have the option of setting a max-width of a grid. Elements would stretch but always with a maximum value.

I’ve created this UI for Narrati through claude ai, I am not sure how to import this UI to figma, If there any figma AI which can convert screenshot into figma design, I want to shift this website to framer, thats why looking for a solution.Framer websites & figma is very same, if there any way to make screenshot to figma design, building framer websites become so easy.

It would be great to be able to use multiple individual variables for effects. For example, I have a blur and a drop shadow saved as two separate variables. I don’t always use them together, but sometimes I do. I would like to be able to use both together, without having to create a separate variable with the blur and drop shadow.  

In trying to meet users where they are working we need to place documentation within Figma files. This means we want documentation for various personas. In our case, we need to provide documentation for consumers of our library and assets, and documentation for those creating the assets. Feature to propose: A way to expand security trimming (similar way in which we can share teams/projects/files) so we can place documentation within our file for creators and hide it from consumers.

Need:I would like to optimise the publishing of the different libraries and ideally manage it from a central place.Use case:I have one asset libraryI have one style libraryI have one component libraryI have multiple files for different features - Figma being still too slow to allow me to manage a whole application in one file.Let’s say all the feature files need elements from the three above-mentioned library.Now I change a color in the style library and as of today what I would have to do would be the following: Go in each dependent library and update all the elements that use the color from the style library Publish the libraries Go in each file to update the components in some cases publish some files so that other files can have the latest update of componentsThis requires to open many files and this could be “easily” optimised if there was a feature that allowed to create a pipeline that we can run everytime we update a library.Or another solution, have a centralised place in whic

Our design token collection (variables) was accidentally deleted. Would be nice if there could be a restore action or trashcan concept for retrieving deleted collections. Perhaps archiving could be interesting as well.

I’m really liking the new sections in FigJam (which I used to have to make manually with shapes) but I’ve noticed that the normal grid dots don’t seem to show up within the sections which makes it tough to align items within them that are farther apart (in my case vertically stacked sections). Would it be possible to get these added back in? Or at least some way to use/create guides (similar to those in most photo/graphics editing software)?

Decades ago when prototyping interfaces I would just use HTML prototypes, which made tooltips super easy to prototype.  Decades later with Figma - which is an excellent design and prototyping tool don’t get me wrong - adding tooltips to one’s prototype, is incredibly painstaking.  It would be so much easier if Figma just added a field for each layer called “tooltip”, which, when hovered over in prototype mode, would display the tooltip after a number of milliseconds (which could be customized as a bonus feature).  This would make Figma prototypes tooltip-friendly in such an easy way.  And from a designer-developer handoff perspective,  it would be great if Figma prototypes had a toggle to enable text selection in the prototype. That way the developer would just run the prototype, get the tooltip in context, and copy its text. 

The “Approve all” button in the Admin Dashboard is way too easy to click by accident. First, in some conditions the “View history” button is in place of the “Approve all” button. E.g. during loading, or when you have no requests. This way, if I’m on the “your requests” tab and there are 0 requests, and I want to go to All requests history, I go to “all requests” and click “view history”, but by the time I move my mouse to the “view history” button and click there, it’s suddenly replaced by the “approve all” button, because there are some requests on the “all requests” tab, and the “approve all” button is rendered with a delay. Second, there’s no confirmation of this action, which is very strange considering its importance. Figma needs to move the “Approve all” button so it doesn’t appear in place of “View history”, and/or ask for confirmation after clicking it.
