Allow us to change the background color of text (not just the text fill color) to give a highlighter effect that stays with the words that the effect is applied to even when the size/shape of the text box is changed. For example: The above shows two examples of the same ipsum (left and right) where specific words are highlighted. When the size of the text box (the left example) is changed to accommodate a responsive layout

Situation It often happens that there are a lot of instances that have overrides in a design. Sometimes you are not quite aware what exact overrides have been made to a component, though. For example someone could have manually changed the height of a component and if the height override is actually the same as the main component, you would be blissfully unaware. Problem You will notice that an override has been made maybe, after you make adjustments to your main component and realising that the instances did not change. Annoyingly, if you want to reset a particular override behaviour, you will have to reset the entire component back to the state of the main component and then do the overrides you do want to keep again. Depending on the complexity of the component (Maybe it is even a nested component), this can be quite the hassle. Proposal As such it would be nice if we had some listing of the overrides th

Hi everyone, 👋I’m new to Figma and learning everything completely from scratch. I really appreciate having access to the free version, as it’s been helpful for getting started. That said, I’m finding the current limitations a bit challenging when trying to fully understand the workflow and explore what Figma can really do. I feel that having access to some Pro features would really help me learn faster and more effectively. I wanted to ask if there are any options for a free trial or a discounted Pro upgrade for beginners even if just for a limited time. I’d love the chance to experience the Pro features before fully committing. Thanks so much, and I really appreciate this community and the product!— Bright

It would be beneficial to have version control in Figma Make, or at least the ability to publish changes to a "QA" instance. Currently, the only way to test app changes across different browsers is to publish them and hope for the best!

Not very easy for users to test on the Make prototypes, as they need to log in. Takes quite a while to log in or even register.Maybe some features like in Figjam, can open the session for certain amount of time, allowing visitors to get on the link without registration or login.  When previewing the Make file in Figjam, can we also allow users to interact with it, without login?

I have to jump between my foundation and theme collections pretty frequently. I’d love a “Go to main component” but for aliases.   

I sit in a ton of Figma demos, and I use the “follow” feature pretty regularly to track what the presenter is showing. However, often times, their zoom level is not ideal. Currently, you are locked into their zoom level - and to zoom in (or out) you have to break out of following them.Can you please allow followers to adjust their zoom in and out without breaking out of “follow mode”? This would allow us to zoom in on the details, or out on the macro picture, easily without losing track of the presenter in the demo.  Thanks!

I’ve spent so much time trying to figure out how to export a PNG with a transparent background. I finally found a solution in the support forum where you have to add an image fill. This just doesn’t seem obvious to me at all.. Could we get a checkbox to add transparency in the export option for PNGs? That would be much more straightforward! 

Hello there, I am currently having issues viewing the guides on my design when the brand colour is pretty much the same as the guides and familiar to some colour. Please help me how to change the guideline colour like black, blue green and any other dark colour

Hey guys! I'm a product designer and a Figma lover. For along of those years, I saw Figma grown up and become even better, bringing to us designers a lot of new possibilities to work. But this is my first time that I want to request a feature ASAP, since creates a lot of pain. Hope everyone see this topic as something really useful too.So, I usually works on web applications and thus I need to design both mobile, tablet and desktop version of the web pages.And, when we speak about Design System, we need to make sure that our components will adapt on each screen, no matter the viewport size.So, bringing this discussion to a real case: I made a component for my DS called “chip” with some variants as we can see on this print: The width’s component need to follow their inner content to keep

I know that you can set aliases for number variables, but it would be great if we could use number variables with other number variables to do a computation. For example, this would be great for playing around with type scales without needing a plugin. Below is an image of the use case (ignore the line height variable).  The current workaround is just doing the math manually, but the computation isn’t preserved (e.g. `s` doesn’t show `14 * 1.25`). Granted, I did end up fudging these numbers so that they would be rounded up to the nearest even number, but I still feel this is a fair request.Bonus is if you add a rounding function to these math opportunities, but I understand that the software will just round to the nearest whole number anyways so it’s more for the developers. 

It would be very beneficial to be able to use the command/scroll wheel in a Figma file, either in the supported Figma app or in any browser on iPad. Some people are working in environments where the iPad is used for connecting to corporate, “locked” systems (often via Microsoft), and if you are to present a prototype in an online meeting, it is nearly impossible or at least extremely cumbersome to use pinch-to-zoom on mid-sized iPads. Under such circumstances, the iPad acts almost as a separate PC, so a feature like this should be the norm, not the exception.

I’d like to insert an image into a cell in a table in FigJam so that it moves with the table as it expands and changes size. Currently, I’m just having to drag pictures around with the table as it expands which is fine for one or two images but I have many!

When picking colors I’m always working in the HSL color system. When I want to change a color it makes so much more sense for me to be able to adjust the hue, saturation, or/and lightness rather than thinking about how edits to RGB might work, or trying to mentally decode hex values. Often I’ll want a color of a similar saturation & brightness but a different hue. Or a color of the same hue & saturation but different brightness. But in the Figma UI it defaults to showing hex values in the sidebar (or a color style name where the values are completely hidden unless I drill down): Hex values can be useful for developers (although lately we’ve just been using HSL in our CSS), but is not very useful to me when designing exce

I’ve recently worked on a design in a FY 24/25 Q4 document that still needs implementing, and that quarter/year is now over (for us, I’m aware that other orgs use different dates) so I want to:Create a new FY25/26 Q1 design document Move (not copy) the page from the FY 24/25 Q4 design document into the new Q1 document Achieve the above in as few inputs as possibleI would ideally expect to be able to right-click the page in the Pages panel, select “Move page to another document” and either choose an existing document or create a new one (naming & choosing its location in the process)However this route doesn’t exist, the choices are only “Copy link to page”, “Rename page”, “Duplicate page” and “Delete page”, none of which help me - I can’t even Copy the page and Paste it into a new document!Suggest this is a pretty obvious missing feature, would be relatively easy to implement, and alongside the “Move page to another documen

Hi dear Figma teamI’m writing you as an advanced designer. Why not adding a arrow connector to make it easier to put both advanced designs and flows in a file? something like what already happens in FigJam... 

As editor and maybe also as viewer I want to be able to see where specific components are used. So I’m basically talking about way to find instances of a component across files. There’s a plugin called “Instance Finder” but unfortunately it’s just working within one file not across. For huge design systems with multiple files and different designers working on it this is far from ideal. This idea is not new but since the other topics are closed I guess I need to open a new thread. See: Searching for component instance in a view-only file

i believe put design and figjam diagram in single file better than different file.for example,  i can create and edit task flow next to UI, instead of copy and paste back and forth.same goes for figma slide.

As a regular Figma full seat user, I couldn’t use all the credits during the holidays and when I fell sick for a week. Can we please have credits rollover so that we get to use what we paid for?Many Thanks!

Why is this impossible while logged in? or without switching to incognito mode?this seems to be an insane user experience when I just want to see what’s new real quick or perhaps check pricing or any other normal or sane reason to visit your front page!Just add a link to the figma menu? or even in the help button? 

For example searching keyword ‘Tooltip’ here should find 2 results But only one is returned

Every time I switch back to Draw the tools color resets to white. Am I missing something? A product that really understands designers perhaps 🤔?Jokes apart, it feels “rude” to forget the colors I so carefully picked just a couple clicks previously.

I need variable for corner smoothing !

ProblemCurrently, there’s no way to bind the Flex Direction property (horizontal / vertical) to a variable or boolean condition. This makes it impossible to dynamically switch layouts inside a component using variables or modes. Designers are forced to create duplicate components or manually toggle the direction. Proposed SolutionAllow flexDirection to be controlled via a variable or boolean property, similar to how alignment, spacing, and padding can already be managed.Example syntax:flexDirection = isVertical ? "VERTICAL" : "HORIZONTAL" Expected Benefits  Enables adaptive, single-source components without duplicates. Improves token-driven and responsive design workflows. Makes component logic consistent with existing variable bindings.   Priorit

Summary: Allow edits to your local dictionary. Details: You can accidentally add a misspelled word to your local dictionary in Figma, but they don't give you as the user or their support / engineering team to remove it. That misspelled word will just never be spelled checked for you in your added misspelling again. Our engineering team has confirmed that it's not currently possible to remove words that have been added to your local dictionary. They have also confirmed that it's not yet on the road map but the team may address it in a quality week. Help article content: "Once a word has been added to your dictionary, it cannot be removed." is why I'm reaching out for help to get it removed.
