Option to disable "Image resized" when large images are brought in

I regularly need to work with screenshots of webpages, which can be a couple thousand pixels tall. I need these images to be actual size. Can’t do this in Figma cause it automatically scales large images down.

I know there’s a plugin but this seems like a silly thing to rely on a plugin for, there should be an option native to Figma that lets us shut this function off.

Or give us an option to scale the image back up to the original dimensions? (even if the quality’s going to get wrecked)

This has been such a huge thorn in my side!

Please & thank you!

As usual, per the dictates of modern garbage software, I can see this nonsense has been driving people nuts for over 3 years, and Figma has absolutely no intention of fixing it. I just experienced this today and I cannot paste a long screenshot into a prototype that I need to work on.

This is why I have quit UX Design and stopped working for these dingbat software companies. I am sick of having to be an advocate for the customers who want a solid user experience, and being told by the leaders of software companies that the garbage they dish out to customers is fine because they continue paying for it.

Unbelievable, 4 years ago still the same issue. Madonna santa, when are you going to fix this bug? Because it’s a bug, not an additional feature xD driving everybody nuts

Ok, really? This is like the 20th time I'm troubleshooting something to finally find out: it's a Figma feature. Can you please give us the option to disable image resizing because we need to see things sharp, yes really! Maybe you guys forgot that designers are using this product and we're not sending photos through whatsapp...

I can't believe I have to ask Figma this question 🙄 Worried that it will not make a difference since the community has been asking this for years…  🤦🏻

Use the Insert Big Image plugin:

Figma

I’m sick of having to install a plugin for any basic functionality that the software should have on its own..

You ever notice how all these modern software companies fired all the testers, replacing them with customers, and then spend all of their time adding useless features to their products while leaving bugs unfixed for 5 to 10 years?

Considering to move back to Sketch due to this issue. We are creating visuals for large canvases, mostly up to 12K resolution. Not being able to import large images without the hassle of plugins is super annoying and it should be a standard feature.

Still a pain point. It’s not that hard to have a mobile reference screenshot exceeding 4096px. Why even introduce such limitation in the first place?

Am I correct saying that this thread lives already for 4 yrs? People are now building designs with LLMs but importing of long vertical mockups in good quality is still impossible. + for this topic.
