Currently morphing for filled objects is relatively ok with smart animate. But for any stroked object, there is a ghosting that happens, and a low res pixelation as well between frames. This is very limiting in terms of animation design for any kind of object that is morphing from one state to the next in size and shape. Example if filled transform Example of stroked transform

Hello, I am CiCi. Sometimes my connection is unreliable, or I am travelling. It would be nice to be able to use Figma offline. I don’t see the point of having an app taking up space on my computer that doesn’t work without internet if I could just go to the browser, instead. If it had offline capabilities, it would make perfect sense to have it and it would be greatly appreciated. 

It would be more useful if wherever a file was shown in the dashboard, its project and team was shown underneath it. For example, our structure is often… Team: Client name Project: Capital projects File: Product page redesign When I add ‘product page redesign’ to my favourites or when seeing it in the recent files list, it’s can be confusing to understand what team or project it’s part of. I’m often lost in a grid of ‘Website Redesign’ files and having to squint at the thumbnails to figure out what file it actually is. Sure, I could prepend every file with the client name e.g. Client name: Website redesign. But this seems like a poor workaround as it’s repetitive and means that the number of characters that will show the actual file name will be reduced as they are truncated. Anyone else have this issue? Thanks

Hey there! I was also wondering if it is somehow possible to include also the layer of variant controls to be exposed or hid! I often have cases where I need to nest base components e.g. an icon wrapper providing me with the ability to select certain sizes, or color overrides and boolean props of an icon. I am now able to expose all of those or none, but I can’t restrict the users to only be able to select just some of those. What do you think about it?

In our system we use a medium weight of 500 which indicates Bold for our brand. Is there a way to control the new cmd+B style when applied to a text string and not use the currently assigned 700 (Bold)? Thanks

How about the option to choose which export file type is the default when exporting graphics? (i.e. SVG or PNG rather than JPEG) … this would make our devs REALLY happy! 🤩

Currently, Figma does not support a direct way to join two different strokes together. This makes it difficult to create clean and continuous vector paths when working on illustrations, icons, or custom shapes.The proposed Stroke Joining feature would allow users to select two open stroke endpoints and merge them into a single, seamless path with proper alignment. This would work similarly to the "Join" tool in vector software like Illustrator, making vector editing faster and more precise.

Hey, I’ve got a feature that could be quite handy for me, and I believe others might welcome it as well. Since we have got variables with different modes, it is a shame we cannot apply those to the main frame in which we design the UI. As one designs on eg. 1920px width, the design is not comfortably viewable on MacBook’s 1512px default resolution - it is either with black bars around (fit width, fit height) or the design gets cropped and horizontal scroll appears (responsive, actual size). It has to be then either viewed in this distorted view, or you have to change the canvas width. What I suggest is being able to apply variables width and height (together with min. & max values) onto the main artboard as well - designer can then create tokens, eg:Width (1200; 1512; 1740; 1920)HeightMin/Max height (932 - for users on 1920 res screens on Chrome with a bookmark bar, 832 for users on Macs with chrome with 1512 res)and resize the canvas on two clicks in the appearance panel. When thi

I’m a hybrid UI/UX designer, and part of my work includes creating digital assets (like instructional gifs / videos, product launch gif). Right now I design in Figma but then have to switch to other tools (Premiere or After Effects) just to put videos together. When it comes to prototyping, it requires higher effort to update these contents and makes collaboration harder. It would be amazing if Figma had some basic video editing features built in—nothing too heavy, but enough to:Trim and stitch clips together Add simple transitions or motion Layer text, images, or overlays Drop in audio tracks Dev friendlyIt’d be super useful for teams like mine that work on both design and content, and it could save us from jumping across multiple apps.

I love using Figma’s dynamic stroke to create textured edges. But it only works on strokes not fills or paths directly.I’d love the ability to apply Dynamic Stroke to a shape’s outline without needing a stroke, so I can combine it with effects like inner shadow, layer blur, or drop shadow.The current workaround (outlining the stroke and converting it to a fill) is destructive and makes it hard to tweak later.

When the board must to scroll (either hor. or ver.) ，user must click the Hand tool then click & drag it to scroll the board. how about to add a new way by clicking the mouse’s right button for a while then user can draging it to scroll directly.

I’d like to be able to disable the split screen option so that dragging a tab doesn’t move things into split screen mode, just opens a new Figma window like it used to. Alternately, dragging the tab far enough away from the bar should imply a new window, while leaving plenty of space closer to the top available for split screen. It’s disorienting every time I think I’ve dragged it to a new window and the file still opens in split screen.

I have a few SVG shapes as part of the branding for a project I am working on. I’m in the process of building out a component library and for the primary CTAs, one of the shapes will be the background for the CTA. That white background would typically be a solid fill with border radius, and using Auto Layout would be able to grow and shrink based on the label overrides per instance. However, I am unable to get an SVG working as the frame’s fill. It does allow me to “Choose image” and select the SVG but it never displays. From the docs, there is no mention of using SVG for this, as opposed to PNG, JPG, etc, and I don’t see why we can’t use an SVG as a fill.

Currently, if I try to use a vector image as a fill, Figma tells me that it can’t use vector images as fills. Can that be changed?

I’ve noticed Figma adding absolute positioning to certain elements in an autolayout frame automatically. This is unexpected, unpredictable and simply annoying behavior. Adding several more steps to creating a simple autolayout. Most autolayout frames don’t have an absolute positioned element. So it would be best to leave this button as a manual toggle. I’d be happy if we could turn this behavior off via a user-setting. Vote for the feature request if you agree!

Hi All, we currently use the swap library feature for our styles. We were wondering tho if there is going to be support for swapping variables in the future as well? I know that Figma is currently working on extended collections, but the current omission of swapping variables based on a different library seems a bit weird

As a user, make it easy for me to duplicate a file, and bring my chat with me, so that I can version control a “stable build”, but I can make variations for presentations. I would love a tabbed view where, based on the parent build, I can make versions with variations so that engineers and founders can help me pivot directions, and only merge back certain components to the parent file.

Please add search and filter in Library Analytics. As a design systems manager overseeing multiple consumer and business-facing products, navigating hundreds of variables, styles, and components without these features is challenging. Adding search and filter functionality would greatly improve efficiency and save time for users like me.

As a design systems manager, I would like to be able to exclude branches while reviewing library analytics for component, style, and variable usage so that I can find and update the main files that are dependent on my design system.Use case: I am currently trying to deprecate an older version of a library using Library Swap. The easiest way for me to do this is to use Library Analytics to find all files on my team that use the library’s components or styles. However, branches also show in this list, and I can’t see that the file is a branch or what file it is branched off. I would like to be able to filter branches out, since they will get the update from the main file anyway, without having to click in and open each file to find out it is a branch.

Hey, i face a bug since there has been an update on the preserve scroll position behavior yesterday. By now the former preserve scroll position, which i had to set manually before is now set as default. So i don’t need to tick the box anymore. But, in my protoype, although i expect now that the scroll position is preserved by default, it is not working correctly. From screen to screen my prototype is jumping to the top. I need to ship my proto today to the client and this is super annoying. Anyone faces the same issue since yesterday? @Figma_Support can you roll back the feature? 🙏

Please release an official version for the LINUX operating system because the version on github is unstable and outdated. Please think of your Linux users.

Currently, only Preview and Code edit modes are visible. Are additional editing modes accessible?

When I’m in the Figma desktop app, there’s no way (that I know of) for opening a file by URL. My only option is to paste the link into Chrome, and have Chrome bounce me back to the Figma app. I would love to see a feature in the Figma desktop app that lets me paste a Figma link and open the file without needing to use Chrome at all.

Opening a file is CMD + O. Make opening a file from a link CMD + SHIFT + O. I use the desktop app so I’m usually copying a link and having to navigate up to the top of my large 34" monitor to open from clipboard. There’s a shortcut for opening a file which I have done maybe once in 5 years. It seems like a pretty logical next step to just have cmd + shift + O be the operator to open a file a different way. Adding the shift will also reduce accidental launches. Also, waiting for Chrome to load it and then clicking open in app isn’t an ideal option for me. I use Arc and a Chrome App for Meet so links from slack open in Arc and links from Meet open in Chrome and it becomes a navigation nightmare.

Hello! I’m taking a course that just touched on community content. I use a large secondary monitor and, on the Figma app, the “Explore Community” button - currently at the bottom left of the window, is not where I would intuitively look to find it (nor is it anywhere near where the instructor’s version from years ago shows it). I suggest moving it back to the upper left area of the window, closer to the recents/“Your Teams” options reside.
