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!

Was shocked to learn that Figma scales down images to a max size of 4096 pixels! Makes the product feel dated already. Like back when we thought you’d never need a video higher res than 720p.

Please address this Figma so the professionals can work.

I have ran into this issue MANY times. I can’t imagine why your product team would make this decision. Please fix.

@Figma_Support this is a ridiculous limitation. Please allow your users to import long/large screenshots without compressing them into oblivion.

Client: “Can you send me a PDF of the screendesign”
Me: “No, I am using Figma. Sorry!”

Do you find that funny? Yeah, me neither.

This is absolutely still an annoying problem.

This is ridiculous, I’m working on fast prototype that need screenshots, I’m sure I’m not the only one, how come this is even implemented in the first place?

Having the same problem here. Prototypes look blurry and low quality

Any updates @Figma_Support for image resizing without the use of 3rd party plugins? You have Enterprise clients depending on this feature to be at least given an estimated LOE for your roadmap into 2023.

Respond when you can Figma. Thanks from all of your Customers.
