Suggest a Feature

Currently, when exporting images for print, I have faced unfortunate results with poor image quality, which has caused inconveniences with printers. In addition, the export capabilities for the web could be optimized in terms of weight-to-quality ratio. I suggest the implementation of an Advanced Export Manager that would allow users to adjust the quality and size of images according to their specific needs in each context. Desirable features for the Advanced Export Manager: Pixels per Inch (ppi) control for PNG and JPG formats, allowing to select at least 300ppi for print and 72ppi for web. But ideally, the user can set the desired dpi. Option to choose the image size in pixels, providing flexibility in defining the width or height and thus resizing the image. Indicating the weight of the resulting file with each setting, facilitating performance optimization. Output format selection, including RGB and CMYK to suit specific color needs. Additional features to consider: Real-time pre

I like to show all (or most) properties of a component in my design library to make changes easily. However, this means toggling off a bunch of properties every time I use that component in a file, as many of them are more rare in use. Alternatively, I hide the properties within the library, but that means unhiding every time I want to make an edit. Sometimes I forget to unhide after, which means unwanted changes flowing through all my files. Am I missing something? If not – it would be great to separate library property state and default. See mockup.

I have a lot of projects on the go, but sometimes use projects like large folders. When I have these projects favourited, they’re on my sidebar neatly, but in the team view favourited and unfavourited projects are jumbled together and can only be sorted alphabetically or by last edited. My suggestion is letting you sort by favourites in the Team view (or even hiding them!) so you can scroll past them without problem. If I wanted quick access, I would use the sidebar.

Ugh. Just wrote a long comment that disappeared before I sent it because I checked something on another page in the file before sending the comment. I was about to click send, but wanted to be sure of something so I clicked on a different page in the page menu on the left. When I came back to the original page, my unsent comment was gone. Sigh. I usually copy unsent comments before clicking on anything just in case, but not this time. Suggestion: Seems like a draft comment should be saved in this case, and the comment thread would be in an unsent/draft state. Or, at least maybe warn the user if the comment is about to be erased. “If you go to a different page your comment will be lost. [Go anyway] [Stay here]” I’ve also lost unsent comments by just clicking out of the comment popup. Usually they shake when you click away the first time, but I’m pretty sure there have been times when the comment just vanishes on the first click outside of the popup. It really interrupts your flow.

Hi Figma Team, Since designers work on long-term projects, thus many design decisions can be forgotten, I suggest you create an Annotation Feature, unlike the comment feature, this one is hidden, where only designers can have access to it. The objective of this feature is to know why, as a designer, I decided to use this pattern instead of just recalling the reason. I’ve been working on a project for a year so far, and revisiting some screens, I can’t remember why was something done the way it is.

I feel that Figma’s Homepage can use some love! Starting with a ‘Search’ I cannot search my Figma files - much needed! I sometimes loose time in trying to find the right file because I often juggle a few tasks at the same time. The star & pinned are nice but I still loose time making sure it is the right file. Also, the card view preview doesn’t update properly which doesn’t help in my search. Maybe more zoom options in the Card View. But a ‘Search’ would be the most helpful to start with!

It would be nice to have the ability to resize elements using integers since decimal points are not ideal for web development. For example, using the command + shift + mouse drag combination to resize by integer values, instead of just shift + mouse drag.

Right now, I’m working on a plugin that needs to reset some of the styles on an instance so that they match its mainComponent. Through the UI, we have the option to “reset all overrides”, as well as resetting fills, strokes, etc. However, I don’t see that option in the Plugin API. It would be really helpful if we could add this so that we had a more fine-grained way of resetting instances that matched what the Figma UI is doing!

Much like sketch, sometimes I just don’t want anything to happen when resizing a Frame/art board. Usually this is a length issue and I just want to drag it down. Sometimes the user doesn’t want to assign full responsiveness/layout to components/objects at the start. Not having this can also be harmful to beginners who also have to go figure out all of auto layout/responsiveness. They don’t have the option to work/start without it. This “adjust content on resize” functionality can be turned off in sketch, Just looking for the same. It’s also a massive PITA, to go back have to check every object for size/resize because you didn’t even notice/forgot that you resized a few pixels, and now everything is off by 4.6 pixels for example. The default behaviour should be OFF, as typically users will setup a page/component before getting into responsive/interaction. This way, there’s no accidental sizing issues as mentioned above. This happens in sketch still, because they have resizing ON as the

Hi Figma team, It would be great if we can write description before merging branch to the main file. This is useful to keep track what’s new, what’s changed in the branch. Thanks!

Please add an additional function to Comments that notifies the author of the comment that their feedback or change is ready to be REVIEWED. There is ALWAYS a review step within our workflow. Never is it assumed that the designer has interpreted and executed the feedback or change in the correct way. By only having the “Resolved” function, it misses this critical review step, not to mention the Resolved function deletes the original comment with no way see what was originally asked for.

Place the texts in a more systematic way.

I’d love to use the pencil in Figma files with the Apple pencil in the iPad app, similar to what you can do in FigJam files. I don’t necessarily need full edit access on the iPad, just the ability to scribble some notes and sketch diagrams next to my designs without having to move them over to FigJam first.

Sometimes Figma takes too much loading time… Please make it more lite and fast.

Would be nice to have a Feature, to show if a Component/Variant is currently in Use in any File or not. Would be a massive Help to cleanup unused Components from a Library.

It is a nice feature that I can lock / Unlock or hide / unhide Screen by hover any screen name on side bar. but For now this feature overlap screen name so it not visible properly. instead we can add a background under Lock or hide so that user can see them properly.

SSO should be a built-in feature for any SaaS provider, and should be considered a security minimum. By locking SSO behind a paywall, you’re telling customers you only care about their security if they’re willing to pay extra. In 2024 SSO should be a security baseline and an offering at any tier. I sincerely hope Figma considers reworking their plans in the future.

When I’m using multi-edit variants, I’d like feedback (e.g. snackbar at the bottom) showing how many elements were selected. Sometimes I’m worried that there are selected elements that I didn’t intend to modify, so I have to zoom out and do a quick scan to see if anything else was selected. For large files, it’s hard to tell what’s selected and what’s not.

Ever since the properties have ben added to components, it has been a great improvement in my workflow. Especially the fact that I can select multiple instances and change a propery for all of them in just one go. Hallelujah! However when I’m using the “expose properties from nested instances”, the nested properties are shown when selecting 1 instances, but when I select multiple, they disappear.

Can we please optimize this? Or at least make them all work with Shift + Click? (Just noticed I forgot color variables) Thanks, team! You’re awesome, hope you can find a solution.

It would be awesome if sections didn’t act like frames, but more like a hybrid of a group and a frame, with the ability to grow with their child contents. It’s v annoying to have to keep resizing them, when they’re really just best for a visual or prototype container. I know they get bigger if you cmd+d duplicate a child node, but it would be great if it was always a thing. Not autolayout, just like a group with some padding.

Hello I use Figma for my print tasks, because InDesign is just horrible to use. And sometimes I have to use more big sizes. I would like we have: A0 A1 A2 A3 in adition of A4 A5 A6 Thank you !

I noticed that Truncate Text has two options… None Truncate at end of line Could you add Truncate Middle/Center of a text style… that would be amazing.

Can we have option to link layers? so that we can resize those layers together

I would love to see an option for browsers frame in prototype device (like chrome, FireFox, etc…). The browser frame size can be modified to a specific size, this option can be added to “Custom Size” with a drop down to choose the desired browser.
