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!

April 2026 – still an issue

Worth being precise about what the resize does, because it isn't uniform blur.

Figma caps the longest edge at 4096px and scales the rest proportionally. On a normal image that's harmless. On a tall website screenshot the longest edge is the height, so pulling the height down to 4096 drags the width down with it.

A full page capture at 3066 x 28800 lands at roughly 436px wide. Not cropped, squeezed. Body text that was 28px tall arrives around 4px. That's why pasted site screenshots look mushy rather than merely smaller.

The workaround that works today with any tool: don't paste one tall image. Slice the capture into sections, each under 4096 on every edge, and stack them. Nothing gets resized, so the text stays sharp.

I measured this while building a Mac capture tool that does the slicing automatically. Numbers and method here: https://slimsnap.ai/blog/full-page-scrolling-screenshot
