Suggest a Feature

Adobe XD included folders in personal drafts so you could organise your own work. I have many projects on the go at the same time which can span up to a year, which only I need access to at this point in time. I can’t move it to my Teams folder because in a large company this creates confusion. In our workflow, when its ready to share we move it, up until then it sits in my drafts, but it is getting confusing with main projects mixed in with R&D.

Hi Figma team,I’d like to suggest a feature that would be really helpful in collaborative workflows: the ability to copy and paste comments between different files.Currently, comments are a great way to communicate within a file, but when we need to reuse or migrate comments such as when duplicating parts of a project into another file we have to recreate them manually. It would be very useful to be able to copy a comment from one file and paste it into another, preserving its content, author, and ideally its relative position.This small improvement could save a lot of time and make collaboration even smoother.Thanks for the great work on the platform!

I’d like Figma components to support conditional/dependent properties inside the Properties panel.Current problem:Large design system components often expose many boolean, variant, text, slot, and instance-swap properties at the same time. Some of these properties depend on each other, but today they stay independent.Example:- If `Show Badges = false`, then `Slot Badges` should be hidden or disabled.- If `State = Active`, then `New Message`, `Show Separator`, and `Swap Icon` could automatically switch to predefined values.- If `Badge mode = Match`, then credential badges should be hidden automatically.- If one badge group is enabled, another mutually exclusive badge group should be disabled.Current workaround:We have to create more variants, nested components, or expose multiple booleans manually. This works, but it makes component APIs noisy and allows invalid states.Suggested feature:Add simple conditional rules for component properties, for example:- when property A = true, set prop

In our design system we have different styles that are connected to variables. We are using a variable font and we can apply number variables to font-weight (300, 400, 500, 700 etc.).We could also use string variables, which works if we used the standardized font-style and weights (“Bold italic”, “Semibold Italic” etc.). However, we don’t.I’ve noticed that when I’ve picked “Italic” and set a numbered font-weight (variable font axes) the dropdown shows the font-style (“Italic”) and the weight (550) separated by a comma.I was hoping and thinking that perhaps if I made a variable that matched the text in the dropdown “Italic, Weight: 550”, it would work. Nope, it didn’t. Proposed solutionSo, we would like if the font-weight could accept this type of combined variable or a more semantically correct solution: separate font-style and font-weight into two inputs in the UI and let us use separate variables for them. Screenshot: Font style and irregular numbered font-weight 

I am an enterprise customer. Our team uses text variables to maintain a large library of metadata. It’s used in multiple parts of our files and has become integral to our workflows via fast iteration and advanced prototyping.Please bring text styling (aka forced line breaks, bolding, italics, bullets, etc.) to text variables. It would be extremely useful to my entire org and help us continue to utilize Figma variables as an integral part of our workflow.Because we don’t have the feature, we run into many inconsistencies across design files and have a hard time maintaining a library. 

Whatever I try, I can’t seem to work with .mov or .webm videos with transparent background on Figma. Whenever I upload them, I get a black background. Am I doing something wrong? Or is there a workaround for this?

I would like to highlight all the connectors from a given object in Figjam. For example, if I have a block that has several connectors coming into and out of it to many other blocks, right clicking on the block and “highlight all / highlight incoming / highlight outgoing” options. It would make all the other connectors on the screen transparent or greyed out so that I can easily see which objects are connected to my object and how its connected.

I would love if I can curve this line path. On the canvas itself.

Currently, in Figma, smart animate only works on opacity, color fill, stroke, position, width&height. The options at your disposal when making an interactive prototype are pretty limited. It would come in handy if Figma can expand the supported animatable properties to include: Radius, Effects (shadow spread), VectorNetwork, Polygon Ratio, Ellipse Sweep, Dash, etc.

I haven’t found this in “coming soon” for variables… As it works now, a variable can control properties only of the topmost component instance. You have to assign a variable again and again to each instance each time you place it, you can not nest components with variables at all.

There is lot of market out there which provides illustrations or assets in the form of EPS. (for example, freepik assets). Prototyping tools like sketch already supporting the EPS file and it’s easy to use them inside it. But Figma lacks the support of it and I think we should have that in the near future. Do you guys know any workaround to import the eps into figma ? I am preferring a free approach because illustrator and sketch are paid tools.

This could be a very simple but welcomed adjustment from Figma that could have great impact on the way we work. Hundreds of times a day we select either a color, text or effect style. The problem is the amount of unnecessary scrolling we have to do to get to the values we want to use. It seems like a very simple code adjustment that would greatly speed up our work.

In Finland, we have to attach the invoices to all card payments for bookkeeping. Now I need to every month to go to Favro and manually download the invoice. Please add a feature where I can define an email address for the invoice emails and automatically send new invoices in an email with the PDF invoices attached so that we can automate the download and processing of the invoices. The subject of the email should have the same structure each month ("You Figma invoice YYYY-MM-DD) and the PDF invoice name should be unique and contain the date of the invoice, for example, Figma incoice YYYY-MM-DD

Hey there! I was also wondering if it is somehow possible to include also the layer of variant controls to be exposed or hid! I often have cases where I need to nest base components e.g. an icon wrapper providing me with the ability to select certain sizes, or color overrides and boolean props of an icon. I am now able to expose all of those or none, but I can’t restrict the users to only be able to select just some of those. What do you think about it?

Nice to have the option to “hide from publishing” a whole column on the variable table or the option to “hide” a mode.

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this When you create an autolayout frame, it always defaults to 10px. Many design systems call for an 8px grid and in many cases, users don’t want ANY padding especially where edge-to-edge designs are concerned. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation What are everyone’s thoughts about the following solutions?: Default autolayout padding based on the big nudge amount in your settings Allow for tokenization of padding/margin grids and offer up autolayout parameters based upon those tokens Allow users to override the padding to 0px at the creation of the autolayout frame by using an alternative key command like ctrl+shift+a (command on mac)

It would be super beneficial to have a feature that allows for zooming in/out on prototype presentations, this would allow us to focus in on smaller details when needed!

Hi Figma team,I’d love to suggest an improvement to PDF export.Use case: I often work on a single page that contains many frames (slides / variants / iterations). Today, if I need a clean single multi-page PDF (one PDF containing multiple pages), the best option is File → Export frames to PDF.Problem: this exports everything on the page and the page order depends on the layout (left-to-right, top-to-bottom). In real files, I usually have draft frames, alternative versions, notes, etc. So to export only what I want, I often end up: moving/hiding unrelated frames, or copying the frames to a brand new page just for export. That’s extra friction compared to Adobe XD, where exporting a multi-page PDF from a selection is straightforward.Feature request: Add an export option like “Export selected frames as multi-page PDF” With a toggle: Selection only And ideally a choice for page order: selection order / layer order / auto order (L→R, T→B) Alternative idea: allow users to “group/tag fr

It would be incredibly helpful if people could download a PDF copy of a prototype presentation!

People have been complaining about this for years. I have to add ® and ™ to strings of text in my artboards. The superscript version of the character must be the same size as the rest of the text string, or it will not be vertically aligned properly with the rest of the text. The ®™ symbols are much too large, especially in headlines, but if you reduce the font size of that character, it drops down too low and is no longer in the superscript position. In Sketch or any other proper app, you can adjust the baseline of the specific character (baseline shift) so that you can re-align it properly. You can EASILY accomplish this in CSS and create specific styling for the “sup” tag which handles this in code. Why is it nearly impossible to replicate what is easy in any other app in Figma? I’ve seen people complaining about this since 2018, so I take that as an assumption that Figma will never fix this issue? The only way to get a properly aligned and sized ® or ™ in a line of text is to creat

In Figma desktop, it would be super helpful to group to tag different tabs. With many files open it is hard to find and organize the tabs I am working on. I often have around 20 tabs open. Similar to how chrome groups tabs. 

Is it possible to create my own custom shapes for use as shapes in FigJam? I am drawing complex process flows, and I need to use a few vector grphics (for example, an octagon) which I created with Adobe Illustrator as FigJam ‘shapes’ so that I can annotate them with text and connect them to other shapes with connector lines. I haven’t been able to find instructions on how to do this. Is this doable? If so, please let me know how. Thank you in advance.

The problem:Right now, when creating complex interactive prototypes, you have to manually set up the same animation and trigger settings for every single new connection.The suggestion:Introduce a feature that allows users to copy properties from one prototype interaction and paste them onto a new or existing connection (e.g., using a shortcut like Cmd/Ctrl + Option/Alt + C and V while in Prototype mode). It should work exactly like copying fills and strokes between frames in Design mode. This would drastically speed up workflow efficiency, especially when fixing or rebuilding flows from scratch. Example: Copy the connection properties from other frames and paste in Interactions.  

I've been really enjoying the new Motion features in Figma. The experience feels intuitive, and creating animations has become much faster and more enjoyable. Even in its current state, Motion shows a lot of potential, and I'm excited to see how it evolves.While testing, I came across a few areas that could significantly improve the workflow: Nested Layers in the Timeline When working with nested layers, child layers currently appear individually in the timeline alongside their parent layer. This can make the timeline cluttered and difficult to manage. It would be helpful if the timeline supported nesting similar to the Layers panel, with expandable and collapsible groups. Dedicated Clipping Mask Workflow Motion currently lacks dedicated clipping mask support. A masking workflow similar to After Effects would make it much easier to create and animate reveals, transitions, and other advanced motion effects without relying on workarounds. Dedicated Alignment Controls Motion currently

Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this Screenshot and sample file below. I’m using an iMac sized frame with extended height. This issue is exacerbated by the fact that this is the now the default view when using multiple flow starting points and is the only way to actually change the flow starting point. So you have a constant trade-off of whether you want to see the Figma controls or your prototype’s. Annoying as hell. EDIT: When sidebar is hidden, the fixed header is visible but inaccessible. As soon as the cursor hovers near it, the Figma UI appears over the (clickable) website header. Wow… Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) https://www.figma.com/file/WlYbWyHwtBGEFZihdMt2az/Bug-Obscured-fixed-header?node-id=0%3A1
