Suggest a Feature

There a lot of new features coming to Figma every Config, like a Figma version of Powerpoint or Illustrator. But this forum is full of requests related to issues people face building UIs.Here are some recent Figma updates that are really amazing:Keep aspect ratio Reorder variable modesThese features cannot be replaced with plugins or external apps, and they save a lot of time for large projects. But, it took years to implement so much requested concepts. And now, with the new “Grid” feature (which is very much needed) — same situation: it is unusable in its current state. And there’s no hope it will usable when out of beta (as it was with variables). Don’t get me wrong, I really like accessibility check in the new color picker. But this can be done, a bit slower, with a plugin. And, there are lot of basic things, that cannot be done at all:to set a prototype size per flow. Why can’t I have my desktop mockups on the same Figma page as my mobile mockups? to use component variants for sta

When creating grid as a style (in design system) and applying to a screen, I cannot hide it. The ‘eye’ for visibility is missing. It really bugs me because I can’t see my design properly and have to remove ad place the grid again.  Grid when it is styleGrid when it is not a style 

It would be great if we could select different device frames for each flow. This would give huge benefits to those who design responsive websites side by side.

How easy would it be for Figma to have a simple item in the right-click menu (and main menu) for character count or word count? Surely there are plugins like Word Counter, the one that I just tried and it doesn’t work 🤬. And easy enough to do it on the web. But how about I select the paragraph I worked with and see how many words I have? Right there where I am working? Also, if this exists…educate me. 😉

It seems that previously link previews were updated in slack to show what was being shared instead of the entire canvas. I missed that and now my links are just links, no preview. Which is better than previewing the entire canvas still.I have the same suggestion for link previews in Teams. Please stop showing the entire canvas in Teams previews and either show just what is being shared, or just don’t show anything.

So I have this document that we use for one-pagers in my company. It exists in portrait, but I’m taking an existing one and making it landscape. When I take the original page and rotate it 90 degrees, the grids disappear. So far I’ve tried removing the grids and resetting them up shutting down Figma and restarting closing all tabs and reopening needed tabs switching on/off grid view I’ve turned the colour of the grid opacity to 100% All result in Nothing Any help would be great

I have a component library that I want to add support for accessibility. Some of our components need to have HTML tags of alt=“” and aria-label=“”. I would like to have these in Figma for our writers to add content. I’ve looked at a ton of Figma to code plugins, and have tried using text properties, but with no success. Any ideas?

The help button blocks the prototype content, and it is suggested that the help button can be hidden or moved。

Please simply support the Code Syntax of Variables more holistically in DevMode. Especially in Annotation Properties(!). We recently started making use of the code syntax of variables, but unless it is widely support, it does not seem to be very beneficial for our developers.

The user story is as simple as “As a user of figma design when using the AI tools such as `boost resolution`, `edit image`, `remove background`, I would like to hear a sound feedback when the job is done, so I can do something else while waiting for it to complete and be more productive” I don’t know you guys, but I like the AI features a Lot, and I’ve been working a lot specially with the edit image for videogame placeholder assets (it’s amazing), but I just don’t want to stare a the screen for a 2 minutes doing nothing, I would like to leave it working and do something else. I hope this is a super simple feature you guys can make, it would be good :)

Currently, Figma Slides on the mobile app only allows users to view and run slides. However, when giving a presentation, many of us connect our computer to a projector to display the slides while wanting to use our phone as a companion device to view presenter notes. It would be extremely helpful if the Figma mobile app could sync in real time with the slides being presented on desktop, so that the presenter can:  See their notes directly on the mobile app Follow along with the current slide in sync with the presentation Use the phone as a discreet presenter tool, without needing a second screen or printed notes  This would bring Figma Slides closer to the functionality of other professional presentation tools and make it much more practical for real-world use. I hope the Figma team will consider adding this feature, as it would significantly improve the experience for presenters using Figma Slides in professional settings.

Hello, I’d like to raise what I believe is a very reasonable and long-overdue request.Figma is a professional tool, widely used across design and development teams, and charged at a premium rate. Yet, it lacks a fundamental feature for UI design validation: the ability to float a frame or image in a transparent window above other apps, such as a mobile simulator.This is an essential need when comparing a design with a live implementation, particularly in mobile development. Tools like Overlay (which is currently unreliable), ScreenFloat, or even basic screenshots partially solve this—but these are third-party workarounds for something that should be native to Figma.I’m surprised this hasn’t been addressed yet. It would be extremely useful to: Export or pin a frame as a semi-transparent floating window. Overlay it on top of a running app or simulator to check pixel precision. Adjust opacity and toggle click-through mode for interaction below. Is there any official plan to support th

Hi, this is my first project — I built it to make it easier to compare Figma designs with live websites. Hope you find it useful!    Over.fig — a free Chrome extension that overlays your Figma design on the live webpage, inspects Figma CSS, converts them into Tailwind utility classes, and lets you easily view spacing between elements.🚀All features are available absolutely for free. 🔧 How It Works:1. Paste your Figma link2. Pick a frame to overlay3. Compare instantly — your design floats right over your web page ✅ Key Features: - Pixel-perfect accuracy - Effortless CSS inspection  — auto-convert styles to Tailwind utility classes - Precise measurements — see spacing, font sizes, and alignment in real time - Custom font support - Download optimized assets directly from Figma - Save hours every week on QA and revisions Would love your feedback!

I was thinking of what if @figma adds CYMK Color, which can be used for printing purpose. Recently was designing a poster & wanted to print it but, after printing colors were changed. So i thought what if @figma can add CYMK Color in the software. Let me know what you guys think

I would like to be able to selected multiple child components which are all associated with the same parent component and edit their shared nested instance properties across all selected child components.

I know If I use the option key and hover, I get the distance between objects but I would like a feature that shows the distance exactly the way the option key does but without start making a copy of the element. If I start moving it I just want to see the distance to the element above for example. If I do this now it’s going to get to a point where it starts measuring from the copy I’m holding.

What I need: Showing the distance between rulers. How I expected it to work: Select a ruler, hover another and hold option (mac). Context: In some really nested templates and components its impossible to actually select edges of correct elements for measurements, therefore I would need the option to show the distance between two rulers. Complexity: Seems to be an easy fix, since the individual coordinates of both rulers even show on the top edge of the ruler section of the UI, you’d just need to add the distance (where exactly I wouldn’t care that much)

I’m considering hiring offshore developers for an upcoming project, but I’m unsure about the best approach. There are so many agencies and platforms claiming to provide top talent, yet I keep hearing mixed feedback from people who’ve tried it before. Some say it’s a great way to save money and access specialized skills, while others mention challenges with communication, time zones, and maintaining quality. I’d like to hear from people who have real experience in this area — how did it work out for you, and what would you do differently if you had to hire offshore developers again?

SummaryEnable Figma Make users to preconfigure the default code output framework (e.g., Angular, Vue, React) and set organizational coding guidelines that are automatically applied when generating code.ProblemCurrently, Figma Make defaults to generating React code. While prompts can be used to switch frameworks or enforce custom rules, this adds repetitive manual steps for every session. Our teams have established rules and standards (framework choice, naming conventions, linting rules, accessibility standards, etc.) that we want consistently applied from the start.Impact Designers and developers must repeatedly remind the system of our preferred framework and rules. Inconsistencies can arise if someone forgets or phrases the prompt differently. Slows down adoption because teams want their code to be generated within their established ecosystem by default. Proposed Solution Allow users to define a default project configuration for Figma Make (framework, package manager, language ve

SummaryAllow Figma Make to read an .npmrc file so teams can install and use internal or private scoped packages (e.g., @company/components) within their projects.ProblemOur organization maintains internal web component libraries that align to our design system in Figma. These components are published as scoped npm packages (e.g., @ourorg/design-system). Currently, Figma Make does not support .npmrc configuration or scoped package resolution, which prevents us from using our own code directly in Figma Make. It would also reduce the amount of code Figma make generates if it doesn’t have to generate common component code.ImpactWithout this support, designers cannot easily work with the same components developers use in production. This creates a disconnect between design and code, increases manual work, and raises the risk of inconsistencies.Proposed Solution Enable Figma Make to read .npmrc configuration files for authentication and registry settings. Support installation of scoped pac

Hey there, I’ve created a branch and added a component to our library. So far so good. Then I accidently moved an instance of a component a bit, so that in the “Branch Review”, it says “Node Reordered, Position, Rotation, or Scale changed”. And yes, that’s true. Even though, nothing has changed. I missed to it CMD + Z to revert it, so now when I want to merge, I have to merge it even if I don’t want, and then push a library update of this modified pattern. My suggestion would be the same as we can do it in VS Code for example. Before commiting something, you have the ability to “Discard changes” meaning that all the changes you made in this commit will be removed and the component will be in it’s main branch position/state. That would be helpful for not having to merge something you don’t want/did only for testing purposes.

The title just about summarizes my issue. Developers until recently had access to ruler measurements and annotations with their Dev Mode seats. Recently, these tools were stripped from them. I don’t understand why only designers can measure distances or leave annotations, so long as they are not editing files, why should Devs be unable to annotate or inspect files using the tools Figma designed for Devs to inspect files?Good design practice in Figma often requires us to build things differently than they would be built with actual HTML/CSS. with Autolayout in mind, it’s better to determine the space between objects rather than apply padding to the top of Divs as many devs would do. However, when a dev wants to measure the total space between elements, they should be able to use rulers to make the measurement THEY need and not the one Figma decided they should have. Why were these tools stripped from Developers? We’re already on an Organization plan, paying quite a lot of money. They we

As per this discussion - How to disable 'observe' mode - #5 by Dave2 - I think it would be useful to be able to turn off ‘observe mode’. It is very annoying being watched while I work, unless I specifically am trying to share/demonstrate something. It is the digital version of someone looking over your shoulder. I dont want to have to remove people’s permissions from the file just to stop them digitally stalking me.

Hi there,I’d like to propose a feature that allows individual sections to exist within a parent section, with the ability to collapse and expand them via an accordion-like function. The default state would be closed—similar to an index—so that child sections are only visible when expanded.Currently, it’s challenging to guide developers to the correct layers because the default open view doesn’t always reveal all sub-sections, which can make navigation and referencing less intuitive. This feature would help improve clarity and streamline collaboration.
