Make ruler more comfortable

Hello, Figma community! I would like to raise the issue of the ruler in Figma, as I consider it an important tool that I use regularly. What is wrong with it and what is it missing? In the new Figma interface, the vertical ruler has been shifted to the left of the screen, which, in my opinion, causes inconvenience and makes it difficult to use. I suggest that developers return the ruler to the left side of the interface, but inside the block, and not next to it. This concerns the inconvenience of using the ruler. Now let’s talk about what this tool is missing. It would be useful to add interaction with the rulers on Alt to determine the exact distance between them, rather than using a calculator or creating a block, as I do. A ruler would also be useful for creating footnotes with the dimensions of the interface elements. There are plugins that solve this problem, but I think that such a function should be built-in and more convenient. A little from myself, you made an awesome to

Change frame size with double click

I would love the feature, that when you double click a frame, that the resize options of that frame shows up. Sometimes I have really long frames when I am designing for mobile. When I want to make the frame longer to add more content I have to scroll up and click on the name of the frame. Double click to resize frame would be a little time saver

keys to ungroup

Thanks to the developers from all the left-handed people in the world who, like me, cannot change the keys to ungroup. Previously, Ctrl + Shift + G worked great, now when ungrouping every time it is very difficult to press Backspace + G

Custom Frame Size

Hey everyone ! I love Figma, but i have a problem. I can’t save a custom frame size. It would be great if we can save our own custom frame size for different projects. I don’t think it’s “hard” to implement, but it would be very useful. Thank you by advance !

Comments. Linking a comment not to a group, but to the nested layer

You have several modes, the first is to add a comment, the second is to select something to add a comment to it, for simplicity you can select a group by selecting it in order to add a comment to the group, and simply click on the nested layer to bind the comment to this layer now the situation looks like this: with the ungroup option all comment bindings are lost, also if an option is added to the layout and so on, this is very inconvenient, it is not possible to use comments in conjunction with groups and autolayout, and everything is built on this… binding a comment to a group without selecting a group is an incorrect binding

Dynamic Resizing with Variables: A New Approach to Flexible Design in Figma

Hey Figma Community! I’ve been thinking a lot about responsive design workflows lately and how we can make them more dynamic and flexible. Specifically, I want to talk about the resizing options we have today—those trusty hug, fill, and fixed values we use for horizontal and vertical resizing. While these are solid, they could be even more powerful if we had the option to tie them into variables. Why Variables in Resizing? We already love using variables for colors, spacing, and typography to keep our designs flexible. So why not extend this logic to resizing? Imagine if we could define a resizing behavior not with static values but through variables that can adapt as our design scales. For example: • Instead of setting a button width to fixed or hug, what if we could create a variable like buttonWidth and set its value dynamically based on the context (e.g., screen size, container, or content)? • You could have a layout that resizes fluidly based on conditions defined by your variabl

Variable Color property window, show the number of Components that use it

Hi Figma Team I have been recently updating my Library and specifically my Color System. The library is quite big and there are a lot of components that use the color system and you can see how it can become really hard if you start changing the color system structure by either removing or renaming colors. This will also make it much easier to see if there are colors that not in use and can be removed without any issues. I made an example below for reference

Export png with padding/diagrams

When exporting PNGs with alpha from Figma, the RGB channels do not undergo padding/dilation operations. This results in UI elements without padding sampling black edges when subjected to trilinear or bilinear sampling. In contrast, PNGs exported from Photoshop automatically perform padding calculations, which avoids this issue. I would like to ask if Figma plans to support this in the future.

UI3 – Assets search got worse

Hello Figma! The new UI3 component search is not good. When I use the actions/assets/plugins search, the vast majority of times is to find components (e.g. button, logo, input field, …). Now, when I search for e.g. “button” the first option is “Compute published statuses of soft deleted components”… The second is “Republish autolayout components”… seriously? 😃 There’s no button components I can immediately drag into the canvas. I have to manually click onto “Assets”. Please make it so that either the “All” tab is smarter in suggesting assets, or default me to “Assets”.

Box Model vision

For developers, the most crucial aspect of exploring designs is not just how they look but how to implement them. To do this effectively, they need to understand the overall box model and layout logic. While there are many browser extensions that serve this purpose, Figma’s existing Outlines mode could be very helpful. However, it’s currently buried within the interface and feels more aligned with vector editing for designers than with developer needs. I suggest improving its visibility and integrating it more directly into dev mode for a smoother workflow.

Connect variable to instance (swap)

I remember being able to connect a variable to a variant, but we changed how things work and want the same for instances (swap instance). This would make prototypes more realistic and flexible.

Disable the auto close string for variables, or allow us to turn it off

I am creating a bunch of tweaked interactions for a prototype with lots of buttons with unique values. But every time I type a new value for a string, a spacebar is being seen as cue that I want to close it up. But I don’t want that, I want to be able to keep typing until I hit enter (as enter closes it up as well).

Typography variables - Bind a variable to a specific text style

Use case I have a button component which for different colors we use different text styles (one is bold the other is regular). Solution It would be great if I could just add to the button variables table a String field where I say which style to use based on the mode and bind that String to the text style of the label.

Arrows in figma to show flows

It is very hard for UX designers to show flows in figma, mainly because the arrows from figjam don’t allow to connect to different elements which is counter intuitive for UX designers. Also it is hard to work with figjam and figma as separate files for UX and Design specs we need the files together and it’s often easier for collaboration. Figjam is great for flow charts but I would love to have figma and figjam working as one.

UI3 removed auto create section by clicking the section button on toolbar

Does anyone so disappointed when we’re no longer can create a section by select multiple frames, then press the section button? Now we have to drag the section area instead of auto creating section (with padding) by default as it is in UI2.

Move the "Hehlp and Resources "?" near new tools panel on web browser

It’s currently in the bottom right corner which frequently blocks text and frame options. A recent update moved the toolbar to the bottom of the screen, and I think the help and resources “?” makes more sense to be near that instead of blocking vital functions of the program.

PDF-export options / different handling of links in the exported PDF?

I have just realised that the links in my slides document (anchor to certain slides/pages) are still present in the exported PDF but: Unfortunately they no longer link to the specific pages but to my Figma Slides file in editor mode. This means that viewers can read my notes even without an Figma-Accout. It would be very helpful if this bug (if it is one) is fixed or at least to get more options when exporting as a PDF file such as the option ‘interactive’ or ‘non-interactive’.

Add functionality Variable String.length

I would like to ask if it’s possible to add a function for prototyping with a string variable .length method that calculates the number of characters in a string. Additionally, it would be helpful to allow setting the string.length to a specific number to split or truncate the string. This would greatly enhance the functionality of our prototype by enabling features based on string length. I also created a plugin called Input Fields to create input fields in Figma prototypes using variables. However, without the ability to split the string, implementing a backspace functionality isn’t possible.”

Enabling autolayout should not change dimension mode (Fill/hug etc)

It’s extremely frustrating, when enabling autolayout on a frame that already has a few elements composed, that it instantly changes the dimensioning mode (from fixed to hug or fill) without the user’s consent. This often completely changes the look of the design and requires the user to go back, re-enable “fixed” mode and set the pixel value back to what it was This always disrupts the dimensioning mode of child elements as well, causing a cascade of manual changes the user must make to reset the design to what it was. Expected Behaviour: enabling autolayout affects the positioning of the direct children of the frame to which autolayout has been applied, without changing the dimensions of the parent element Observerd Behaviour: The parent element’s dimension mode is changed (to “hug” or “fill”) the moment autolayout is applied, effectively changing its height and width from what the user set it at previously. This breaks the contract between you and the user, since the user expli

Allow inspect panel to be opened within prototype-present mode

It would be ideal if I could produce a prototype link that allowed the audience to both add comment (already enabled) AND to open the inspect/properties panel to grab component specs. Currently Figma requires me to share THE WHOLE FILE and link to specific sections with the flows I want my Dev and PM audience to focus on. I don’t want them having access to my whole file nor do they want to see my whole file. To keep stakeholders focused the design team is doing so much extra effort to create series of sections and pages which is forcing the non-designer audience to learn how to navigate Figma. The effort by our designers are to organize file content for consumption of non-designers would be alleviated if we could just activate the inspect panel from within a prototype.

"Fn+1", "Fn+2", "Fn+3", . . . . for switching Pages

TLDR: Switching between pages using “Fn+Up/Down” arrow is good but if we have many pages then it’s a lengthy process to switch too often. If we remember the page’s serial number in the pages list, we can use “Fn+1,” “Fn+2,” “Fn+3,” etc., to switch between numbers quickly. If I know the components page is 3rd in the list of pages on the left panel where all the components are stored on this page then to switch to we quickly just need to press “Fn+3” . If the Mobile-HighFidelity page is 5th in the list of pages then I need to press “Fn+5” to quickly jump to this page.
