I’d like to suggest adding a native option in Figma to mirror (flip) an image directly within its image settings.Currently, when working with components, if I need to mirror an image inside a card, I have to flip the entire card to achieve that effect. This becomes especially problematic when the card is a component, as it interferes with layout, constraints, and overall usability.As a workaround, I’ve been manually mirroring images outside of Figma (on my computer) before importing them back into the component. However, this adds unnecessary friction to the workflow and slows down iteration.Having a simple “flip horizontal / vertical” control within the image properties would make the process much more efficient, especially when working with reusable components and design systems. Thank you!
We create and share our design system components with the whole company and we’d like to have a more rigorous process when we publish modifications of the Figma file. If the publish description would be required instead of optional, designers could not forget to add a description to their modifications anymore.
Sections are useful for organising the canvas. However, when I want to keep editing things within a section I keep selecting and moving the section accidentally. Therefore, I would like to be able to lock the section position without locking the elements within the section.
Hi Figma Support,We are a SaaS Security Posture Management (SSPM) vendor that integrates with Figma to help our mutual enterprise customers gain visibility into their Figma environment.Current situation:We're integrating with Figma's SCIM API and need to clarify the behavior of GET /scim/v2/{org_id}/Users.Two questions: If an organization uses SCIM for provisioning, can admins still create/invite users directly in Figma (outside of SCIM)? If yes — does GET /scim/v2/{org_id}/Users return all organization members, or only those that were provisioned through SCIM? We need a complete user directory for security posture management. If SCIM only returns SCIM-provisioned users, is there any other API endpoint that returns all org members?Thanks!
I have a numeric input field as a component, and its value is set as a text property called value. Pretty simple stuff, right?For prototyping reasons, I want to bind this field's value to a number variable, so I can add/subtract to this value when I press a button somewhere else on the screen. Also pretty simple stuff, right? Well, apparently not. Turns out I just found out that we can't bind number variables to text properties for whatever reason — they don't even show on search results. And since there's no component property of type number, this simple prototyping scenario I'm trying to achieve appears to be impossible. Meanwhile, if I simply remove the value property from my component, then select the plain text layer with the value and try to bind it to my number variable, voilá — now it works. Except it doesn't, because now all my fellow designers will have to manually select and edit their numeric input field's values every time they use this component.So my suggestion here is e
When working with more complex auto-layouts in Figma, I find myself accidentally changing frames/instances from Fill to Fixed or Hug by double clicking on the edge. In some cases I don’t catch myself and only discover later that parts of a prototype are not responsive. Is there a way to disable this or change the behavior to require a key modifier or something?
I want to be able to lock a component on the page for everyone except myself.
Hi Figma Community! I couldn’t find anyone else having this problem, so it’s probably “just a me thing.” Whenever I duplicate a style, I always edit the ‘old’ version by accident, thus throwing off the entire design system. Any chance that the powers that be could tack on the text “copy” or “duplicate” ? But it would have to disappear when edited. Thanks for reading!
Smart Animate needs some TLC from the Figma team.I am lucky enough to work in an industry that is not averse to using more interesting animation in our UI, however I can’t create proper examples of interactions because of how Smart Animate works.Animation is directly tied to prototyping flows and that creates issues as animations are not ‘pages’ and exist outside of a page-to-page framework. Smart animating between 2 frames inherently means that all animations start and end at the same time, of course that is exactly how it supposed to work but this makes certain types of animations completely inaccessible - such as cascading items (multiple objects loading in on slight delays). Nested Animations can’t trigger on page load don’t work and they take forever to make so there is no real work around for this. There have been a few posts on the subject, but I believe it all stems from the same issue of animating between states (frames) and the problems that causes (I only mention this to hel
I love Figma, I’ve finally been able to get rid of Illustator.However, Illustrator had a very useful function when working with a large artboard or a large number of artboards. I could zoom out to view the project, select any object(s) I was interested in, and then zoom+ in to or zoom-to-fit (focus) the selected objects.Currently, the zoom in Figma is always focused on the centre of the screen, meaning I need to reposition the viewing window as/before I zoom in to work.
Hi,I’d love to suggest improving the experience of working with Color Variables in Design Mode.Right now, copying a variable name (color token) takes several steps and interrupts the workflow. In contrast, Dev Mode has a really smooth pattern — you can simply click on a variable color line and instantly copy its name.It would be great to bring the same interaction to Design Mode:One-click to copy the variable name One-click to copy the hex valueOur team recently migrated from Color Styles to Color Variables, and this has become a noticeable pain point in day-to-day work. We often need to quickly copy token names (for documentation, communication with developers, etc.), and the current flow feels slow and cumbersome.This small improvement would significantly speed up workflows and make working with variables much more efficient.Thanks!
I work in a large design team (50 designers) in a fast-growing company. The product is complex and has many different flows and variations. I often find myself wanting to find a specific screen in Figma from a specific part of the product. If we had a great index internally that we kept very well groomed, this wouldn’t be a challenge. But it is not the case. Most of the time, I really on asking in Slack if anyone knows where I can find a recent-ish version of this or this in Figma, wait, and 50% of the time another designer finds something. What if we could do reverse image search in Figma like we do in Google? I screenshot a part of my product I use it the reverse search in Figma Figma shows me the files, and where in the files, that have designs that match very closely my screenshot I can grab my screen and start designing!
I have a button which is created in the library file in the way it has hover state while hovering:The same button, according to the WCAG AA requirements must have a tooltip on hover (and when it’s focused while using keyboard navigation but it’s not the case here) https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG22/Understanding/labels-or-instructionsThe current interaction mechanism doesn’t allow to display a tooltip on hover from the project level as the hover variant interaction is already reserved on the library level. The screenshot from the project: Theoretically I can create a button component which already has a tooltip, like this - the variant size is equal to the button size.It means the tooltip belongs to the bottom button and is displayed outside of the variant:This approach works with some autolayouts:1.1 Each horizontal row has the autolayout inside. And the list consisted of the gray rows and form field above (truncated on the screenshot) also has the autolayout applied.1.2 Button hover.2.1 T
Often I’m adding autolayout around a frame/component/element, and the default vertical and horizontal padding is 10px. As well, the gap applied is 10px. It would be amazing to set the default padding and gap to auto-layout elements. This would help with keeping your files clean, but also, to ensure that redundant CSS properties are not added to dev mode output. Clearing and resetting these properties takes time and often the gap is not cleared due to the property not having an affect on single children. Thanks!
Please introduce a more prominent visual indicator for active branches in the main file.Currently, the branch indicator appears as a small footnote near the page title, which is easy to overlook. Because there are multiple ways to create a new branch, designers may miss the moment when an active branch is present and unintentionally continue working on elements already affected by it.This can lead to merge conflicts and significant loss of time, as changes may need to be reverted and redone. A clearer and more visible indicator would help prevent these issues and improve collaboration within teams using Figma.
Would love to see metadata added to top-level items on the canvas or in the layers panel, and stored somewhere discreetly. For example, it’d be really advantageous for large teams—and editors specifically—to have the ability to view the timestamp/authoring details of a specific section or frame (e.g., when it was created, who created it, when it was last modified, etc.).
Pretty simple ask: I want to move a page from one Figma to another. I don’t see a way to do it. Select All + Cut + Paste is not a good solution as I might have locked objects that don’t come with the copy and there might be properties set on the page (background color, etc.) that I might lose.
I frequently share notes on designs with a group of developers without knowing which one will work on what I’ve designed. I’d love to be able to tag several in a comment via a “group” I’ve created within my team (eg- “@FrontendDevs”) How are others handling this?
Background: I am a developer, and I use Figma exclusively in Dev Mode via the web interface. I don’t have (nor do I want) any edit access to the designs I’m implementing. That’s for the designers. When the Measure tool appeared (the ruler icon on the upper left toolbar), I latched onto it very quickly. It greatly improved my speed of accurately implementing a design. There are certainly other ways to measure things in Figma, but they are all transient. The best part of the new tool was that I could quickly measure many different things and have all the measurements persist so that I could then just refer to them during development. It was a simple yet well-conceived tool. Then the Measure feature suddenly and completely disappeared on April 10! (Nooooo!!!) Other developers on my team can’t see it either, but the designers and anybody with edit access can still see it. Has there been a change that means that edit access is required to enable Measure? I hope not, because if yo
We want to use it to link design variables to the design tokens in our application. Our company runs on a Professional plan. There are only 10 users that need access, so we don’t have any need to go to an Organization or Enterprise. I saw the same question here, but it wasn’t answered and just pointed to the Plugin API which has an entirely different use case.
Currently, the "While in view" trigger is too binary. The animation often doesn't feel right because it won't trigger until the entire layer is within the viewport, or it fires the moment a single pixel touches the edge. This makes it impossible to time smooth reveals—like headers or hero images—so they glide in exactly when the user is actually looking at them. It makes high-fidelity prototypes feel "jittery" and unpolished.The Suggestion: I’d love to see an Offset (or Threshold) property added to the Prototyping panel for all scroll-based triggers. Custom Thresholds: Let us set a pixel value (e.g., 200px) or percentage so we can control the exact moment a reveal starts. This ensures the animation happens in the "Active Zone" of the screen, not just the moment the layer edge appears. Better Handoff: This takes the guesswork out of the design-to-dev process. Instead of asking for a "vague" fade-in, we can provide the exact offset value required for the final build.
It would be highly beneficial if Figma provided a way to view the creation date of a project. Currently, there is no clear or accessible indication of when a project was originally created, which can create challenges in project tracking and management.Having visibility into the project’s creation date would help designers and teams better understand project timelines, especially when working across multiple files or collaborating in larger teams. It would also improve organization, auditing, and version control by providing clear context about when a project started.This information could be displayed in the project overview, file details panel, or alongside metadata such as last edited time. A simple and visible timestamp would significantly enhance usability and workflow clarity.
EDIT: i can already do this by using the Gap function.It’s still almost impossible to design for fluid widths in FigmaBut with the new Grid Beta, it is now possible to set up for example a 12 col grid system , see my screenshot:https://prnt.sc/fetKFckcQpT4 Basically I set the colums to 1fr, and i set the gutter to my design in pixels. This is how most grids work on a webpage. Now if i rescale horizontally, it keeps the gutter, and scales the grid like in real-life.But on smaller screens the gutter usually need to be smaller, and it would be extremely tedious to manually replace 12 gutters for EACH and every frame i use this on a webpage (potentially hundreds)So if we could use variables to the colums in Grid Beta, that would be just one click solution and we almost got a working fluid system in Figma.(There was this old approach using Layout Guides, but that’s not compatible with auto-layout which is a must-have for any day to day work.)
Hello,Looks like Figma doesn’t give you an option to chose dark mode colors when you assigning semantic tokens, in the menu only light mode colors even tho I have dark mode too in my primitives.So that means I can’t use different color pallet for the dark theme (in case if I’m actually want to use different colors in my dark mode completely different pallet). I’m I missing something? or It just feature they didn’t thought about yet? or never will?
Can’t do truly responsive tables in figma.I design complex applications that require a lot of tables. Currrently, there are two primary approaches to responsive tables in figma: row-based and column-based.In reality, neither of these is fully responsive. In row-based ones, when a cell's content expands in height, all cells in that row adjust accordingly. However, if the content expands in width, the cells that are supposed to be in the same column don't follow suit because there is no relationship between them. The same happens with column-based tables, but the issue lies with the height. There is another approach called grid-based tables that almost solves that issue. The downside is that you can't use components in a simple way, like slots. If you need to create a prototype with hover effects, the interactions will trigger a single cell at a time, rather than the entire column or row. If you try to group cells into rows or columns within the grid, you fall back into the issues mentio
