Suggest a Feature

There should be a direct export feature in figma to export PDS files. So that we can import the file in After Effects or in Canva and animate the layers because now we have to manually export in png or jpg file and again make the design in Photoshop or After Effects. I know there are some plugins but they are mostly Paid or not perfect in exporting the file. I would request to bring this feature in figma that will help all the motion graphics artists in their work.

Hi everyone!  I have seen a lot of posts here about having to detach a fill of a layer in order to change the opacity and asking for opacity to be also able to save as its own variable, but this is not exactly my wish. I wish to define a variable that has a not a 100% fill, but rather references another color variable and has a different opacity without having to detach the referenced variable. Example use case:Alert component with 3 variants. In this case the “color” variable is the background in the first of the 3 variants (from left to right) and also the text and stroke color in the other two variants. “background” variable in this case only the background in the 3rd variant.  In light mode it is a light blue, but a solid light blue. In dark mode, instead of having to define a whole new “dark-gray-ish blue” color to reference here, I would just like to reference the “info/main” variable, with an opac

When you have alot of variables it would be nice to be able to search for specific things

Hi FigJam team, We absolutely love using FigJam for creating flows and diagrams, but we've hit a snag with the line connection functionality, especially when lines need to cross. It would be a big help if FigJam could add a feature where one line arcs or "jumps" over another when they intersect. This would make our diagrams much clearer and easier to understand.Thanks for looking into this! 

It would be amazing to have adjustable view and edit permissions for pages within a Figma File.The file owner could grant general View or Edit permissions to whoever they share the file with like they can now.Within pages, the file owner could override someone’s View permission to give them Edit access for the one specific page. This would be great in making sure changes are only being made to dedicated pages.

Currently, corners can only be rounded at whatever size you set. However, it would be great if you could set different styles of corners such as inverted rounded or chamfer as you can in Illustrator. The goal would be to create a style like the image below:

When you use the pen tool to draw a vector image, normally when you use the bend option, it's automatically set to ‘Mirror Angle.’ But then I mostly have to manually change it to ‘No Mirroring’ since that helps more with the accuracy of the edges of the images I want to create. But when I have really big images, it gets tiring having to always change the settings to ‘No Mirroring’ for every single point. Isn’t there a way to automatically leave the settings on the last option selected instead of it always being set to ‘Mirror Angle’? Or is there a keyboard shortcut for that?

I really liked the Glass effect. But it cannot be exported to SVG or via the "Figma to HTML" plugin. Can you fix it?Sincerely, Vidasik.

I’ve spent hours manually removing unused variants, removing ghost fills and aligning thousands of icons in a very specific way. We all have these days of just rote boring execution work and I think there’s a great surface area there to explore with AI, beyond the few AI-commands already provided (E.g. rename layers) 

I want to do copy QA in Figjam by using the table component and pasting images into it, underlining certain sections and in the column next to the column with the image indicating the new copy

Hello, I found out that if i create an interactive component (ex: Button), and place it inside a a main component (obsiously as an instance), the interactions are no longer working. But if you create an instance of the parent component, then it all works as expected.

I spend a lot of time undoing the automatic auto layout adjustments that Figma applies in order to maintain the existing layout structure. This is frustrating because I understand how all the resizing parameters work, and I only change the ones I want to change. But in an attempt to help me and retain the current layout, the UI changes parameters that were previously the way I wanted them. So while auto layout still saves me time, it also wastes my time by putting me in a position where I have to go through, layer by layer, undoing the auto-adjustments. (Usually changing a layer’s width or height from “fixed” back to “fill” or “hug”.) I understand some users may actually like this, and it’s hard to please everyone. I would be more than grateful for an option that allows me to disable this automatic behavior.

To enhance flexibility and optimize workspace organization, it would be beneficial to allow users to move the windows for variables, prototypes, and plugins outside Figma’s main interface, positioning them freely on the desktop. This feature would help users better arrange their workflow, especially for those using multi-monitor setups or needing a cleaner and more focused workspace. Imagine being able to place the prototype window on a secondary monitor while working on the main canvas, or keeping a plugin window open without it interfering with your design. Additionally, these windows could remember their position, reopening in the same spot during the next session to ensure a seamless user experience.

In this case I have the same component duplicated four times to have five placed instances total. When selecting one of the inside pieces, Figma highlights those same pieces in other parent instances. But there’s no way to select those things Figma’s highlighting without intermediate steps like searching by name. Clicking them all one by one in this example isn’t too bad, but doing it with some nested component across a dozen prototy

Hello,I’ve been and building with Figma Make which I find very impressive.By iterating, a lot of files has been created and many are not in used which leads to pollution and model confusionCan you build an UI in the interface or give possibility to the AI to delete files? 

STOP MOVING THE TOOLS AROUND THE CANVAS, CHANGING THEIR ON-LOAD DEFAULT VIEWS, AND GIVE COMMUNITY AN ACTUAL PLACE TO LIVE OTHER THAN EVERY SINGLE PLACE YOU’VE TRIED. HOLY CRAP HOW ARE YOU GUYS GOING IPO? YOU CANT EVEN MAKE A SINGLE DECISION AND STICK WITH IT FEATURE REQUEST: CONSISTENCY AND RELIABILITY. I DONT USE POWER TOOLS THAT ARENT RELIABLE, SO WHY SHOULD I USE A PIECE OF SOFTWARE THAT DOESNT RELIABLY HAVE THE FUNCTIONS I NEED IN ONE SPOT

Currently what we make in “Figma Make” is not directly editable in figma design tool. To change anything we need to command which makes the design worsen often. So we designers need to have the power to copy/move/cut from “Figma Make” design and paste it in the figma design tool , to iterate and tweak faster.

We deals with editing of photoshoot, website,and app design

Recently, I needed to create some typography based graphics in my website project, I did not find any option to align the text to pen paths or shapes. It would be a must feature in Figma as the usecase prevails for many designers out here and in many projects. Yes, there are some extensions available but they are limited in functionality, do not provide necessary mechanisms. Please upvote this of you have came across to the same need.

Flow chart process mapping is good. Adding line jumps would make it great!

Our design system leverages mix blend modes for hover states so our icon buttons appear on any background color and remain accessible, without needing separate hover–on-primary, hover–on-secondary, etc tokens. We use multiply for light theme, and screen for dark theme. It would be really awesome if we could apply blend modes directly to the color variables, OR support blend modes as variables in general. Our current work around is to apply the blend mode directly on each component variant, but this requires us to define separate light and dark theme variants. would be great if we could use variables here to have it automatically switch between light/dark.

Config 2025 release broke my designs with Grid!And it could be an upgrade, if:Grid could HUG CONTENTS (row, column, grid itself) Rows, columns and cells could be resized (fixed value, %, colspan/rowspan, flex-grow value) Switch between flex wrap (items jumping to next row) and grid

The versioning in Figma Make is available, but since the AI cannot maintain consistency if there is a way to list and name these versions, it will be easier to fix the mistakes and issues.

Add the ability to select which properties to publish of a component and of a nested component. One use case for this is State in many components such as Button. State has Default, Hover, and Pressed. These states don’t need to be published, they are purely used for prototypes. I don’t want to clutter the properties list for consuming designers. Disabled and Error are created as Variants with “true” and “false” values. There’s no need to publish State property. Original idea here requested by XavierV
