When exporting designs with embedded videos from Figma (Slides) to PDF, the exported file currently shows only the first frame of each video. This creates issues, especially for logo animations or other motion graphics where the first frame may be empty or visually uninformative (e.g., logos that fade or draw in).Suggestion:Allow users to define a custom preview frame (poster frame) for each video element. This frame would be used as the static image in PDF exports (and possibly thumbnails or slides), ensuring clearer visual communication in offline or static formats.This would greatly improve PDF exports without requiring manual workarounds like overlaying screenshots.

I just noticed this while right clicking a Figma file in the Projects grid list and having my Figma set to Light Mode: the context menu itself is still dark mode (and I normally am on dark mode, I just need to go to Light Mode for screenshots for a tutorial I'm putting together.)The context menu when right clicking over a Figma file in the Projects list view shows the menu still set in dark mode even if Figma itself is set to Light modeI tried to see if it was just for the things in the Figma Home tab, and noticed that the context menus when right clicking the tabs do change to Light mode when Figma is in Light mode:Right clicking the tabs in the Figma Desktop app shows that the menu turns to light mode when Figma is set to Light mode tooJust a visual bug. Figured I should log it somewhere 😄

Connected projects are likely to be sharing the same set of libraries out to external teams. Allow for specifying a default set of libraries to be shared for Connected projects. Somewhere in Admin > Resources > Libraries or in Admin > Content > Connected projects (or both?)

When creating overlays, there are cases when I want it to be positioned relative to the element that triggered it. For example, a tooltip that explains a button or image. Currently the only way to do that is to manually position the overlay. What would be nice/more efficient is to have an option to choose how I want the position to be calculated-- relative to the entire page, or relative to the element itself–with the same set of position options (centered, top left, top right, etc) that we currently have for alignment. That way overlay positions can be set quickly without the need for manual fiddling.

I get nervous having edit-access to a Figma file sometimes, especially as an engineer. I don’t want to accidentally make a change to something in the file. It would be great if there was a way to switch myself to a read-only mode (temporarily) to avoid accidentally breaking/changing something. For now, I’ve just been creating a new branch. If I change something on the branch, then I don’t need to worry.

For items such as text box, shapes, and stickies, it would be great to be able to control vertical alignment in addition to the (pictured) existing horizontal alignment of text!

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 (the right example), the highlighting stays with the selected words. The way to add highlighting for the above examples could be included in the type settings pop-over: Note: the idea here is that the user can apply this to specific sets of selected characters within a text box or to the entire text box, just like how all of the other type settings already behave.

I have a lot of designs where I have a long list of items (using auto layout) that I want to paste something somewhere in the middle of. I would love a way to paste something after a selected item.  My current workflow is to select parent `/`, then paste, then drag it upwards.  Often when first pasting it inside an sibling item the layout properties are changed on the item you’re pasting, so that’s not really an option.  The Paste here seems to ignore any layout rules. 

Removing floating panels after we’ve gotten used to them is quite disappointing, especially since we can’t get them back. It would be great to implement an option in theme preferences to enable them again. Some users ‘didn’t like’ them, but there are others who did. Instagram

Hello Figma Team! it’s really good idea if the annotation in dev mode can be move not only in right side off the screen. it will help our as a designer to annotated more note in different position 🙂 my this help designer in world wide not only me hahaha 🔥

Would be great if we could collapse the modal of the plugin we are using (similar to the RHS panel when following someone) to minimise clutter on the screen and to allow us to re-open and continue using the plugin rather than going through the menu again :)(very crude mockup)  

Hello All,I’m having an issue with Figma Make declaring environment variables as false and reverting to fallback after validating my Supabase URL and anon key.Using fallback Supabase URL. Set NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_URL environment variable. Using fallback anonymous key. Set NEXT_PUBLIC_SUPABASE_ANON_KEY environment variable.Make has gone in circles multiple times at this point with no resolution. Confirmed that the URL and Key entered are correct. The debug modal shows that Supabase is connected and the environment variable is set. Make also created a validation pop-up to re-enter both which I did and validation was confirmed. I’ve also had Make completely remove and reintegrate the Supabase connection to start off clean. Same issue.Some context: this is happening at the end of the onboarding processing for my site when the user is prompted to add their email and password to create an account.Anyone have any insight into what may be causing the issue? Happy to provide more details if req

I love that there are finally annotations built into the product but they always seem to overlap relevant content. I want to be able to move them around or at least have alternative positioning options. 

there isn’t enough of a difference between design and draw mode, and i was so confused when i couldn’t find the auto-layout options. the bottom bar pretty much contains the same things and draw should be included within design modes and the sidebar should contain all information

Our workflow is to decline all license requests that users make in the app.We require all users to create a ticket in Service-now and after getting approval from the appropriate Finance Director to manually approve the appropriate license (Full, Dev or Collab).I’m requesting a way to set all license requests to “decline” and tailor the email response to detail how to open a ticket for the license request.

I need to create internal linking PDF exports; a multipage document with a table of contents that provides links to the relevant pages. If I use the link tool, the links generated in the exported PDF go to the web URL of the linked frames, and does not navigate to the page within the PDF. Using prototype linking does not generate any interactivity in the PDF at all. It would be useful for either the prototyping tool or link tool to generate interactive internally-linked PDF exports.

Please consider adding an image trace feature that would trace the lines of an image and converts them to vector lines for editing

I was thinking of a button like clip content with frames but for shapes! to help with designing icons and vectors, if there was a clip content option anything outside of the shape would not be visible. I think this would be helpful but not sure how useful it would be for others. Also I cannot seem to figure out the slice tool? maybe it is different than adobe but I cannot get it to work (trim excess from two intersecting shapes/vector paths).Really I have no idea what I am talking about but if someone knows how to make better use of the existing features to help me understand how they work with shapes please let me know.  

I have one advice please add a feature to move token name from one collection to other collection. I had to recreate token names as I made them on wrong collection. There has to be a way to move them.

Hey Figma Community, I’m excited to kick off a discussion on a feature proposal that I believe will significantly enhance our workflow: an easy way to remove missing libraries and immediately conceal the styles copied from other libraries to be applied as core visual styles within the new library. The Problem As we continuously evolve our design projects, we often encounter situations where styles and components from old libraries are no longer relevant or used. However, these linked styles still persist, creating unnecessary strain and clutter within our current design files. It can be quite frustrating to see missing library notifications, giving the false impression that essential design elements are missing when, in reality, they are not even utilized in the new library. The Proposal Introducing a Complete Detachment Button for missing libraries, which will: • Remove Missing Libraries: Allow users to completely detach and remove references to missing libraries. • Conceal Old Styles

Hey everyone!I’m looking to embed a Figma file using Embed Kit 2.0, and hoping to allow users to navigate directly to the main content via the "Skip to Content" link thats available in the regular prototype link after hitting [Tab]. Has anyone been successful in triggering this within the Embed Kit 2.0 iframe? If it’s not supported out-of-the-box, has anyone been successful with a workaround? Cheers,Blake

Hi Figma Team,I really appreciate the Actions menu and how powerful it is for speeding up workflows. It’s become an essential part of my design process.That said, I feel like the current design of the Actions menu misses the mark in a few key ways: Placement: Right now, it’s anchored at the bottom center of the screen. This feels unintuitive and out of the way, especially for a feature that’s meant to be quickly accessible. Most spotlight-style search interfaces (like Raycast or even VS Code’s command palette) are placed center screen, or slightly above center, which aligns more naturally with where a user’s focus tends to be. Raycast even allows repositioning, but still suggests a more central default – and it works well. Size & Usability: The current UI for the Actions menu feels too small – both in font size and overall scale. It doesn't feel as easy or comfortable to interact with as it could be, particularly for users on larger screens or those who rely on accessibility feat

Hi. 3D Transforms are a standard CSS feature that’s missing, and I keep feeling like my hands are tied behind my back without it. There are skew plugins, but I cannot find a 3d transform plugin to simply rotate around x, y, and z. Adobe XD recently added this. Hoping it’s coming soon for Figma. https://helpx.adobe.com/ca/xd/help/design-in-perspective-using-3D-transforms.html

Current: Site > Settings > General > Custom codeAdd section: Site > Settings > General > Non-page requests So I could addPairs of request and static content: robots.txt (and add static text content) some-verification-file-name.txt (and add static text content) sitemap.xml (and add static/dynamic content) Redirects request (and redirect url) This should cover a wide range or common scenarios. 

When creating prototype connections in Figma, it is sometimes difficult and time-consuming to find the right screen manually. Currently, I need to scroll and select the frame every time.It would be very user-friendly if a search bar is available at the top of the prototype connection panel. This will allow users to quickly search and select their desired frame or screen, making the prototyping process faster and more efficient.Why this feature is helpful: Saves time during prototyping Improves workflow efficiency Makes the experience more user-friendly, especially for large projects with many frames
