Export images at original size

1. Describe the problem your experiencing and how your idea helps solve this If I add an image to figma and then resize that image I would like to export it at the original resolution. Maybe if there was even a button to resize the image to the full size. 2. Add as much context as possible (screenshots, Figma files, mockups, etc.) **3. Ask questions to bring the community into the conversation ** (e.g. Does anyone else experience this? Is anyone using a plugin or workaround to help solve this?, etc.

Lasso Select Anchor Points

I need to select anchor points on a shape or across multiple shapes In Figma, I hit Enter and go into Edit Mode. Currently, I can only use rectangular lasso options. I’d really prefer lasso style options, specifically a free draw lasso like in Illustrator. Shapes get bizarre and weird, and often a rectangular lasso just doesn’t cut it. Across the board, the lasso tool in Illustrator is the biggest reason I keep using Illustrator for shape editing instead of Figma. What are others thoughts on selecting anchor points in Illustrator vs in Figma?

Automatically add each component from the page as instance

Hey, I have built my own system for managing icons in our design system. I have one single page that looks as below: I wrote a small script that automatically adds icons from FontAwesome, flatten, rename and position is properly inside the page. I have a Icon component that have different sizes and uses the icons on the above page as instances: The problem I am facing is, eveytime I add a new Icon, I need to go back to the Icon component and add that Icon to the instances. I think there should be a way to automatically add all the components from a page as an instance without requiring manual intervention. Thanks

Image sequence animation on scroll

It’d be nice if we had a way of playing image sequences on scroll so as we scroll down it seems like a video is playing and if we scroll back up the video rewinds, similar as the animations on the apple display site or the scrollsequence tool

Có thể có nút qua lại những thành phần đã xoá không?

Tôi rất muốn có một cái nút quay lại để khi làm sai đỡ mất công làm lại 1 cái khác khi có việc gấp, nếu cứ sai một bước làm lại một lần thì cứ cho là tôi bất cẩn nhưng quá nhiều nếu như lỡ tay một phá thì làm của tôi sẽ bị xáo trộn lên mất.

Admin Bulletin Board

I work at a fairly large company with a big design team and it is hard to keep up with what is going on. It would be really great if there was a section in our ‘All Teams’ page where our Admins could post announcements, updates, and generally communicate with all the users in our team. For admins/design leads, this could be a great way to communicate big updates, product releases, big wins, and even team shout outs. For designers, this would be a great way to keep up with team wide goals, product releases, and big design changes. And for stakeholders, this could be a way to have greater high-level visibility into the team priorities and new product releases. Figma already has such a great communications system in the comments, but it would be great if there was a place external to the files where information could be shared.

Templates with Auto-Alignment and Adjustment

Please refer to this thread. We’re looking for a template like MIRO boards which has the ability to add new nodes and shift everything else automatically. Add User Story Map template Template, plugin, and widget ideas Similarly to what I used in miro, I would love to have a User Story Map Framework template; It should have user Goals, tasks, and vertical lines for releases. Would be great if newly added tasks snapped automatically to some kind of alignment, so that it looks clean at all times, even if I move the bottom to the top and so on

Convert Figma files to editable PDF forms

Hi, as I’m always on the lookout to work more efficiently, I’ve been surfing the web looking for a specific answer to my question which I haven’t found so I’m guessing I already know the answer, but here goes. I need to make an editable form in PDF which my client can open and fill in, in PDF. I can make up the form in PDF, either from scratch or from an existing PDF (exported from Figma), but the latter doesn’t work because even if I add form fields to my Figma file, Acrobat doesn’t recognize them. I found a plugin called Pitchdeck Presentation Studio which is great but it doesn’t say anything about fillable forms. I’ve tried the plugin CopyDoc Textkit which is also amazing but nothing on fillable forms. The only option I see now is to make the file in Figma without formfields, export it to PDF and add the formfields in Acrobat afterwards. Does anyone know a more effective workaround? Thx

"Return to instance" shortcut for Figma links

Hi! My team exclusively uses Figma as the source-of-truth for implementation across various verticals: product, design engineering… We heavily rely on deeplinks to cross-reference other relevant files, flows, screens or resources to make the hand-off files easier to navigate for engineers. Our problem is, after clicking a link that leads to another frame in the same file, there’s no way to go back to the previous page: People need to manually navigate the file hierarchy and sections organisation to retrace their steps. Easy when you’re the person who came up with all these flows and know the file org by heart, but hard for anyone else. 😅 A floating action similar to the “Return to instance” button we have when shortcutting to a master component would be ideal. A keyboard shortcut to do that would be good enough. Any thoughts here?

Ignore persistence for selected items in component

When setting up components for prototyping, the ability to ignore/exempt certain items from the components persistence with prototyping would be a great feature.

[Please Support Android on Devmode]

Hello! I’m a UX/UI designer based in Korea, and I’m an avid user and fan of Figma. The prevalence of Android users in Korea is significant, with seven out of nine people using it. Moreover, with over 3 billion active Android devices worldwide as of 2022, this number is expected to have further increased by 2024. However, there are several aspects of Figma’s devmode that present challenges when designing for Android screens. I believe Figma would garner even more affection if it could seamlessly generate images in various Android densities such as hdpi, mdpi, xhdpi, xxhdpi, xxxhdpi, and xxhdpi, ensuring no deviations on the screen. Currently, for Android projects, designers often resort to using other less intuitive services due to the limitations in Figma’s devmode. They wish for Figma to provide a more seamless communication channel between designers and developers. Thank you.

Constrain Proportions should, I don't know, constrain proportions

Why does “Constrain Proportions” do absolutely nothing? Why have this at all if it only works in one limited use case? I create an SVG. I plop it into my design, and want to scale the parent frame up/down using variables. When I do this, the SVG (which has constrain proportions turned on) ALWAYS gets smooshstretched to fill the parent frame… the exact opposite of what constrain proportions should do. This has been an issue for years, and remains off the radar. Please fix this.

User Preference Setting to use Default Figma Favicon

I’m a developer that works from Figma files. Our design team uses emojis at the start of the file names to add custom favicons and organize their work. This is useful for them but creates confusion for me when trying to find the Figma tab among the other tabs I have open for my work. Chrome extensions I tried aren’t able to solve the issue, presumably because they set the favicon when the page loads and Figma then overrides it afterwards. I’m suggesting a user preference option to only use the default Figma favicon instead of the prefixed emoji from the file name. I’ve emailed Figma and they suggested to post here as well so here I am. Have a lovely day everyone! 🙂

Convert Number Variable To String Variable (and convert variable groups)

When setting up variable groups for modes, you may need all the same structure (all be it with renamed variable names) I find my self copying a group of number variables then using the same structurce want to apply strings to them (example h1, h1, h3), what would realy help is the ability to convert a group of variables from number to string and back again if need be.

Change favicon for tabs

Ability to customize the favicon in a design file, prototype, or FigJam file. It could be changed to a logo, color, or first initial to identify which tab is for which workstream more easily. It would also greatly help with the scanability of any pinned tabs, which today the user is only able to see which file it is on hover preview, or knowing the sequential order of your pinned tabs. Please Figma I beg you 🙏

Automatic Movement of Comments with Selected Designs to New Page

One of the challenges we frequently encounter involves the management of comments attached to specific designs when those designs are moved from one page to another within the same file. Currently, when designs are moved, any associated comments do not automatically move with them. This creates a disconnect between the designs and the feedback provided, potentially leading to confusion, overlooked suggestions, and a disjointed review process.

Students can't collaborate on real-world projects

I am the Figma admin (full-time UX Designer) for a university. I currently have three part-time student designers working on projects. These projects benefit all students, staff, faculty, and I work with our student designers to work through concepts, prototypes, building a design system, and collaborate with managers and developers. On one project, we have one full-time developer and 2-3 part-time student developers who work on these same projects. There is no easy way to have student workers on an educational plan mixed with our paid plan teams/projects. Ideally, we would want the ability to have educational plan Design Seats and Dev Mode Seats working on project under our paid Org plan. Paying for Designer Seats for part-time students might make sense for a few designers but the cost for part-time students using Dev Mode doesn’t make sense for developers. We really would like students to get experience with real-world collaborative experiences in Figma. They are learning much more t

This might probably has been suggested before but it would be a great if FIGMA add’s freeform gradient feature built into the gradient section, in addition to “Linear”, “Radial”, “Angular”, “Diamond”. (Just like Adobe Illustrator)

Copy-paste component properties

If you have many instances of a component, and you set props a certain way on the 1st instance, there is no way to quickly apply the same prop config to all other instances. “Paste to replace” does not work. “Paste properties” only pastes the visual properties (color, border…) In some cases (e.g. slotting), duplicating the 1st instance many times is not possible. → A “Copy/Paste component properties” item in the context menu would be very useful, and show an error tooltip (like for Paste to replace) if the target component is not the same as the destination one.

Calculate text size based on a base size variable

We were pleased that the new typography tokens allow us to offer a default mode (base size 16 for accessibility) and a dense mode (base size 14 for table-heavy applications with reduced accessibility on request). But for this to work with Figma right now, we would have to create separate tokens for each text style so that we can change them with the modes… This just seems not feasible. Because in code it works by changing 1 single variable - the base size - we would have to create a BUNCH of extra design tokens just for Figma and then hide them from publishing so they do not appear in our documentation.
