Suggest a Feature

As many users have reported and requested, please kindly add support for custom fonts in Figma Sites. I often use Google and Adobe Fonts with common fonts, but cannot see the correct results. This is an essential feature. Please kindly update this soon. 🙏🏼🌊

I have hacked my way to do this Drop Cap on Figma but I think it’ll be a good feature to consider under the typography property.

I’d love to be able to copy and paste conditionals/variables statements, this would save time and errors. For example, I used a similar if statement multiple times and just needed to change 1 or 2 variables and numbers. But to do so, I had to re-write the statements every time.

I spent hours choosing fonts in my Figma Design file, only to move to Figma Sites where I can’t use my custom fonts. It’s so confusing because the custom fonts work great in Design and even look good in Sites when you are building (why is it supported in the design part of Sites at all if it isn’t an available feature? That’s misleading). It’s only when I started previewing my work in Sites that I started to catch on that there was an issue. Frustrated and considering moving to a different program because of this.Anyone else running into this issue?

First off—thank you for continuing to push Figma forward. It’s an incredible tool, but there are a couple of areas that feel unnecessarily clunky in day-to-day work.1. Variables workflow The current variable tables look and feel like a spreadsheet, but don’t work like one. Copying and pasting CSV-formatted text into variable tables would be a huge efficiency boost. Editing values one at a time is frustrating when you need to create or adjust many variables. Plugins exist for bulk import, but they feel like hacks—this should really be a native capability in the UI. 2. Content import + duplication It would be amazing if we could paste CSV or text data into a selected component (like a text input) and have Figma duplicate and fill instances automatically. This is common in coding workflows, yet in Figma it remains slow and manual. Right now, the “First Draft” AI feature scratches the surface, but it feels limited. A more general-purpose AI chat for duplicating components and fil

I’d like to suggest the ability to expose fill properties—specifically image and color fills—as editable component properties in Figma. Use Case: In designing components like cards, avatars, or thumbnails, it’s common to have a placeholder image or color that needs to be customized per instance. Currently, to change the fill, I have to drill down into the component’s layers and manually adjust the fill, which is time-consuming and prone to errors.  Proposed Solution: Allow fills (both image and color) to be exposed as component properties, similar to how text and instance swaps are handled. This would enable users to change fills directly from the right-hand properties panel when selecting a component instance, streamlining the workflow and improving efficiency. Benefits:  Simplifies the process of customizing components with different images or colors. Reduces the need to navigate into component layers for simple fill changes. Enhances consistency and usability in design systems.

I was taking the Figma design for beginners course and I left off yesterday in hopes that my progress will be saved so that I can pick up where I left off this morning but not only was I logged out my account, even upon logging in, I had to manually start the session from where I left it yesterday. It was quite a friction, also to know that you are making progress and being able to track that increases satisfaction on a beginners end specially when one is trying to commit towards and learn a new tool, it’s like an invisible crowd cheering on.EDIT: *PROGRESS TRACKING FOR FIGMA COURSES

Hello. I highly appreciate the new feature allowing us to use the text-decoration simply with the keyboard shortcuts. However, I’ve noticed that when applying text-decoration using shortcuts like cmd+b or cmd+u within components, the styling does not save properly. For example, if I bold the label in a button using cmd+b and later try use it and change the label text property, the bold formatting is removed. The same issue occurs with underline on hover effects - e.g. when I underline text for hover states using cmd+u, the underline is lost. While it was a relief that I don’t longer have to create all possible text-decoration variations as the separate text styles in my design system (like: “Body/Bold, Body/Bold Underline” etc.), now I feel like I should go back to this more time-consuming approach. Please consider this feedback or let me know if there’s a flaw in my workflow.

I would like to be able to reorder properties of a component, incl. nested components. To give an example: A boolean shows/hides an instance of a component and I want the properties of that nested component underneath the boolean. Example: Properties (these control the visibility of optional elements in a form component [in this case a Select component]) Required Help text Validation message Nested Instances (These control e.g. the labelling of the optional elements through text properties) FormControl/Label SelectButton FormControl/HelpText FormControl/Validation message

When will be video option added in Figma Buzz? It would be a great help, since it is about to take the role of Canva, but it can do so, if it had video option included just like Canva has.

Our team is still looking for a good design tool to use for our online presentations (we use Microsoft Teams). Now we love Figma Slides to present, but we often have to present videos and animations. Presenting these with Microsoft Teams’ screensharing isn’t very good, as you get a lot of latency issues and audio clipping.It would be really great if Figma Slides could get a similar integration with Microsoft Teams like Powerpoint has. With PowerPoint you can share a presentation directly from the Teams meeting, which then creates an online presentation which runs smoothly for all the viewers.Hope the team at Figma can find a way to achieve this, it would greatly help the motion design presentation workflow for many agencies!Kind regards!Niels

Better organization of content in submenus in the design area. Sometimes I use the slot method to compensate for missing options and possibilities in Figma. Here is an example: “Edit instance swap property”. I have about 20 favorite objects. But they are not organized in the window. Neither thematically nor alphabetically. So I have to do this manually. An autoscroll function is missing here. This means selecting several objects, moving them up or down and using auto-scroll to move them to the desired position. The “preferred values” are also not passed on. So if I have prepared a slot with preferred values and copy it, for example, 8 times (for 8 slots), these preferred values are not included. “Refresh” in the context menu of a warehouse (slot). Right-click to open the context menu and select “Swap instance”. All “preferred values” are not in the previously manually created order. That means all the work again, for each slot 🙈 Thanks

Hey!I would be interested to open my designs, generated by Figma Make into Figma.Do you have this feature in your backlog?Thank you!Nathalie

We are transferring design token names to variables in Figma. Token names are by necessity quite long (they cannot be shortened without losing meaning). Examples: dimension-action-padding-vertical-with-label-l dimension-action-padding-horizontal-with-label-l dimension-action-padding-gap-with-label-l When I click into an input field eg. auto-layout/vertical spacing I cannot differentiate the variable names in the list because the window is not rescalable. See image. I need to be able to see the full names. Preferably immediately without needing to hover over each item in the list. Thanks keep up the exciting work on variables guys and girls!

Hello I miss a capabilitie to assign a number variable to the rotation field. In the today case, I simply try to rotate a SVG animation depending on the breakpoint. If somebody have a solution (no bolean 🙃) Thank you

Why is there no view for managing layers in Figma Slides? Maybe there is, but it’s tough to find. I suppose I was expecting a layers panel on the left somewhere, where I could flip between seeing my slides and the layers. Without it, we’re losing a key reason of why Figma Slides would be a better alternative than using Google Slides.

In Figma Slides today, the Layers Panel only shows when a slide is selected. This means if we have any objects outside of the slides, they are very difficult to modify. I think I understand the logic to keep the space cleaner but the space inevitably gets used for smart objects specific to the slides or things waiting to be assigned a slide and more. We have the full fledged functionality of Figma but got too clever by hiding the layers panel when working outside of a slide which hampers the program.

When I used the search on all pages to find something in my file, the next time I use the search it is still set to “all pages” and runs immediately on the term entered before. This behaviour distracts me if I need to search only this page this time. What about a buffer of 1 character until the next search runs?

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 Ask the community I am a manager of the design system library in my org and I am trying to find instances of components in other designer files via the Org Libraries options, to see how components are being used. Clicking on a component takes me to the design file, but it doesn’t link to the frame where the component is used, which is what I would expect (even if it’s used in multiple instances, I would want to see at least o

The current implementation of the viewport is somewhat limited because I can’t use pinch to zoom function with the keyboard’s touchpad. Tried different browsers also and different touchpad’s, but it’s the same behavior. Enabling this will make using Figma possible on iPad browsers. Thanks.

Admins assemble! We all love the little quality of life improvements brought by the “Little Big Updates” series. How about a little love for all hard-working Figma admins who have to often work around suboptimal UX and spend way more time than needed tediously solving administrative problems? Post your little big proposals here and let’s hope one day they all come in a big juicy update. I’ll start: The modal when requesting an upgrade to Editor includes a small text field to write a reason but it is very unnoticeable. No matter what we do, people ignore it unconsciously because it just doesn’t even look like a text field. Please add a label on top of it saying “Write a reason for upgrade” and make the text field 2 or 3 lines high. To have an option to make the Upgrade request reason mandatory would also make our lives way easier. It is unbelievable that in the Figma Notifications UI, the reasons written for Upgrade requests or access requests are not visible, only via Email. Fix

With the admin updates that came out on March 11, there is one new feature that we would like removed or able to be turned off by an org admin.When a user requests an upgrade in Figma, this new feature allows the user temporary access to the functionality of that seat for 3 days (unless the admin replies to the upgrade request sooner). Here is the description from this article:To ensure users aren’t blocked from collaborating while admins review their seat request, they’ll be able to use the functionality of the seat they requested temporarily for up to three days. During that time, they can create new files and edit any files where their teammates have given them edit access. They will not be able to edit files they do not have edit access to. The temporary access ends immediately if the request is denied or expires.Prior to the updates on March 11, this was the behavior for dev mode requests -- users would get temporary dev mode access for a short amount of time while they waited for

Our developers spend a lot of time in Figma Inspect, having to convert everything from pixels to REM. Implementing a way to specify the document’s “font-size,” or the equivalent of 1 REM and being able to turn on REM measurements in inspect would save so much time and make our design to development handoff easier. edit: Yes, we could use Zeplin but we are an enterprise team with many projects - why pay for yet another subscription if Figma could implement this one thing?

I am using auto layout a lot in my projects and think it is awesome. However, there is one small issue that annoys me a lot. The default setting for canvas stacking is always “Last on top”, which is usually not what I want. For instance when switching state of a dropdown in a layout, the dropdown list will appear below the content that is underneath it (at least in my case where the list is using absolute position). With lots of nested auto layouts, things quickly become a mess if you forgot to change this when you created the auto layout. I would suggest either of these solutions: Change default to “First on top”. Make the default setting optional Remember the last used setting (like the animation properties work)

Ultimately, the AI features are great value add - although at a price. There are many things I would prefer integrated or at least having some consistency between the tools.Some of them includeAdding the Make Changes feature into FigJam that are there for traditional design files Allowing for import/export of visio documents Conversion of files between FigJam, Design, Sites, Make, etc.
