Suggest a Feature

As I am using Blender for VFX and 3D modeling, I find some interesting UX there. Like when panning the 3D world: if the cursor reaches the edge of the viewport, it is put on the other end so I can keep on panning. Is something like this a nice idea for the infinite canvas? You pan, and can keep on panning without reaching the limit of your screen. Similarly, when scrubbing values in an input field, in After Effects the cursor is hidden. Maybe hiding is not the best UX, but the idea is that you can keep on scrubbing infinitely without reaching the same limit of your screen.Anyway, I was wondering: could this be a nice UX addition for Figma Design? And other Figma products, perhaps?

I would like to be able to use colour styles just like fills / strokes. Meaning that I would like to be able to apply mutliple of them and or combine them with other fills. Current implementation: Currently using a colour style for either the fill or the stroke completely disables adding new fill or stroke colours Why I would need the feature: Using them in combination with other colour styles and or regular fills / stroke colours would allow me to do things like define shades over an image fill that I could reuse and update easily, or define a highlight shade that I can apply for different states (like mouse over). Currently, if I wanted to do that I would need to create multiple layers and give each of them their own colour styles. This is very much possible but complicates groups that have auto-layout or leads to text layers being below other layers and as such are not easily changeable without going through the layer pa

When sharing, I would love to be able to specify a specific slide to link to. This will allow more fine tune sharing. If the url was appended with something like “slide-1” it would allow for us to create dynamic and easily editable links in our Airtable as well. We are using slides as a creative review workflow and this would help us tremendously!

Hi everyone,While working on a design system today, I had an idea that I think could be a valuable addition to Figma—especially when it comes to building out basic UI components.It would be incredibly helpful if, after creating just a single base component (like a primary button), we could use AI to automatically generate the full set of common variants based on that one example. For instance: States like hover, focus, and disabled Versions with or without leading/trailing icons Alternate styles like secondary or ghost buttons Of course, this might be harder to apply to more complex components, but for foundational elements like buttons, input fields, tags, or chips, it feels like it could save a lot of repetitive work.I’m sure there’s more to consider technically, but I wanted to put the idea out there—maybe it’s something worth exploring as a potential feature.Thanks for reading, and I’

As far as I can tell it’s not currently possible to add strokes between rows and columns in grid, which would be very helpful for data tables. If I had strokes to the content in the cells it either looks like this if the cells are set to hug content: And if I set the cells to fill the strokes align nicely, but the text is cut off:The best “hack” I’ve found so far is to add a row with a column span going the full width of the grid and insert a 1px line with a width set to fill. It works as a proper table in terms of responsiveness, but the downside is that you have these dummy rows, which can be a little annoying when reordering content. It would be a lot easier if I could jus

Hey, I onboard a lot of guests in my Figma organization and it would ease my admin life if I could change the Share settings to “Sanofi + Guest”. Thanks

The spread option allows us to play with the drop shadow effect in creating cool effects. It’s a shame that this option is restricted unless specific conditions are met with the vector shape. Why not just have it always enabled regardless of the vector shape? It’s limiting when you have a desired effect in mind and you can’t use this option, AND it’s frustrating when you can’t figure out why it’s disabled in the first place. I know there are certain conditions like the shape should be a rectangle or a circle or that there’s something to do with the clipping option for frames. This thread is not for asking how to enable the spread option, but instead suggesting to have it enabled at all times. Please fix this 🙂

Is there any work currently being done to allow a mobile navigation in a hamburger menu for Figma sites.None of the navigation blocks have this option. in the mobile component and even when I create components with an overlay interaction, the overlay will not appear when I use the component in Figma sites no matter what I try.This is a pretty big limitation to one of the most common patterns in mobile UI.Is there any way to accomplish this that I am missing?

Small thing, If I attempt to move a file out of drafts and into a folder:right click file “Move to...” select a new folderOnce the new folder is selected, I want to hit enter to submit the form. This can be an option instead of clicking primary action “Move” 

Amazing new tool this Figma Buzz, especially for content teams.However, we can’t find an easy way to create social media carousels. Is there a carousel feature or a setting to remove the grid gap? That will be much appreciated.Thank you Giada - Vitamina Studio

Thanks!

I’m writing to express my deep frustration with the current limitations of Figma’s Slide Deck feature. As a tool celebrated for its UI/UX capabilities, it’s astonishing that Figma lacks fundamental functionalities that are already included in other design platforms. Key Issues: Absence of Interactive Buttons for Non-Linear Navigation: The inability to create buttons within slides that link to other slides severely restricts the creation of dynamic, user-driven presentations. This is a basic feature in tools like Canva, which allows for interactive menus and branching scenarios. Smart Animation for Linked Slides: Once non-linear navigation is added, Smart Animate should apply smoothly across these links to keep animations consistent. This avoids disrupting animations when navigating non-linearly, ensuring a seamless experience. Enhanced Linking Visualization in Grid

A common pain point I run into is when I select a set of frames that are vertically stacked and use auto-layout to quickly change their arrangement to horizontal. This happens often when organizing existing frames into a workflow. This happens to me at least once a week, so it creates not an insignificant amount of friction.When I set auto-layout for the vertical group, it defaults the individual frames to fill and the outer frame to fixed. When I change the direction of auto-layout to horizontal, it retains the respective fill and fixed selections, thus squishing all the inner frames in the fixed-width layout frame. I then have to undo and manually apply the settings I desire. I think the default setting should be to retain the aspect ratio I’ve already set for the inner frames and set the outer frame to hug. Assume that the inner frames are the size I want them to be and honor that with how auto-layout is applied.

So many times have i accidentally closed the file i am intending to open because of your decision to surface the close X on hover for a tab i am not active in. Chrome does not do this. Please remove it. Make close X only appear for active tabs

In Dev Mode, when selecting an image, you can see the original filename of the placed source image and download it by 1) clicking on the name in the layer properties, or 2) in Assets.However, when downloading, a strange filename is suggested that doesn't match what we see in the layer properties.Question 1: Is it possible to fix this so that the source image is downloaded with the original name?Question 2: Is it possible to bring this functionality into the main editing mode? It's sometimes very useful when working with designs, and it's sorely missed.

Please separate canvas from interface scale (View>Interface scale). I am workin on iPad app, and with 100% canvas scale i have almost 1 to 1 with physical iPad screen size - thats what I need. But also i want to make all UI elements of Figma smaller. I found this settings in View menu, but unfortunately it scales not only UI but everything including canvas - so with 100% canvas scale frame become smaller then real physical size.

There are times when having sections free of constraints is nice… but my design team has become addicted to using auto layout with frames. In many cases when using sections, it would be amazing to perfectly space the inner sections out using auto layout.

Hi Figma Team,I am a regular user of FigJam for creative collaboration. Currently, I am frustrated by the lack of native support for Frame.io links.While YouTube and Vimeo links automatically unfurl into a playable video player with thumbnails, Frame.io links only appear as plain, static link cards. As Frame.io is an industry standard for video review, this significantly disrupts our workflow. We have to manually take screenshots and link them just to make the board look organized.I strongly request: A native Frame.io widget or enhanced link unfurling that supports a video player inside FigJam. The ability to view thumbnails and play videos directly without leaving the FigJam board, similar to the YouTube integration. This feature would be a game-changer for creative teams worldwide who rely on both Figma and Frame.io.

Figma slides is great! One thing that our team has been missing since we’ve been using it is an option to export to .ppt. Our team works a lot on decks for external clients and we would love to use Figma Slides to do that.

Hello, It’s possible in the future to export a Figma frame’s on editable PowerPoint, like it’s possible on Canva ? I know isn’t the principal functionality on Figma, but I think it’s a new possibility to create 😃

When I add a video to a placeholder and play the prototype, the audio starts playing automatically. If I forget to lower the volume, it can be very surprising and embarrassing—especially when I am in a public place or an office environment.This becomes a much bigger issue when there are multiple videos in a design, such as in a testimonials section, because all the videos may start playing audio at the same time, resulting in a very poor user experience.Adding a mute option in the video preview/upload section would effectively solve this major pain point. In addition, including a “click to play” button overlay on videos in prototype mode would be another strong solution to prevent videos from playing automatically. I believe these enhancements would be relatively easy for your team to implement and would significantly improve the overall prototyping experience.I am a UI/UX designer with over 2 years of professional experience. I

Could you add the ability to include the update icon thingy next to those nested instances which have updates available but might not have been update when the initial component update was applied, and maybe add an extra option in the instance update menu to also enable the ability to update the instance and nested instance as a short cut, or at least indicate to the user that there are nested instance updates available that haven’t been update.It makes sense that when you do an update to an instance you don’t want to automatically update those nested instances that the user may have already configured their properties, but it would still be very useful from an in application feedback context that the user is still being informed and communicated when there is a potential nested instance update that can be made but hasn’t been executed by the application.Like it could be as straight forward as have an update icon next the nested instance name on the side panel.

It needs to be easier to zero in on the specific things that were change in a branch review. For example, I have a branch where I add a simple line of copy to one frame. But when I review that before merging, it shows me an entire section without multiple layout frames in it. One of them has the new text line, but how am I supposed to know that? See the screenshot below - I made the additional text bigger so you might be able to spot the difference. But what if it was the same size as the rest of the body text? It would be better if it highlighted the specific difference and allowed you to zoom in/out at the parent/child layer level.

I have been playing around with creating variables but realized I would rather have groups in separate collections, but cannot move them.I would like to be able to duplicate an entire collection so I don’t have to manually re-create values and can remove what I don’t need from that collection OR simply be able to move groups into other collections.[The title of this post was edited from “LAUNCHED: Copy/Move variable groups into other collections” to “Copy/Move variable groups into other collections” by a moderator on 17-Jan-2026.]

Hello!I encountered an issue today where children of a frame (auto layout or not) who have constraints set of any kind (Top + Bottom & Left + Right shown in video demo) will only grow in increments of 1px. In Auto Layout frames with Fill it works correctly, but not with non-Auto Layout. I think this is a bug! Or if it is working as expected, I think the expectation should change, as it does not meet my user expectation!Thank you!Sam Smith
