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!

Yeah, pls fix this. That’s ridiculous for a prototyping application.


+1, it is absolutely inane that we have to use a plugin to import normal sized images. Please please let us turn the resizing ‘feature’ off.


Adding my two cents - same frustrations as everyone else. This needs to not be viewed at as “expected behavior” because this is, in fact, a design platform. I’d expect this to happen as it does in Google Slides, but not in design software. I also bring in screenshots all of the time, and they always look terrible.


Yeah, absolutely ridiculous limitation for a design program. Figma, change this ASAP 👎

(this is why I have to still keep a copy of Sketch…)


I require this as feature as well, along with numerous others who may not be actively seeking out this post!


+1… please include an option to allow us to import image in original size


+1 Please please please


+1 We need this feature


We need this one. I need to be able to work on the big screenshots on Figma


need to create a paste big image plugin. or just solve the problem…


Adding my vote, please remove this disabling restrictions.


This is hands-down the DUMBEST thing I’ve seen in any design software for a while.


Imagine a prototyping tool where you build interfaces, landing pages etc. and you can’t import WEBSITE SCREENSHOTS? AND THIS SOFTWARE IS OWRTH 20B? LOL.


I just can’t wrap my head around this weird “feature”


This is probably the worts issue a desing software can have, terrible


Hahah yesss! submissions for app design are a nightmare


+1 to diable this feature. Same here, took me an hour to figure out why my imported images are down-rezed beyond recognition.


Wait. How do we vote for this feature? By liking what?


I would vote 1000 times. This has created additional days to my process just trying to work out what’s happening. I didn’t think that something as simple and necessary doesn’t exist! Not all designers are just building with vector buttons here.


+1

I have to port the existing state of the website and need to load images of whole pages.


+1

Keep this thread open for the sake of the webdesigning people destiny !!!

There should be an option to turn it on or off, this feature is terrible.


What a terrible experience this is. These small things matter a lot in our workflow. Please fix this asap. Terrible experience.


Thank you so much!


a huge problem that isn’t fixed yet. And here we are… STILL waiting!


Needs to be fixed ASAP, what’s the use of such active community feedback if it takes years to understand and realise if something is needed by the user or not?


How unbelievably embarrassing Figma!


The web’s leading design tool, and we can’t even fix an image to it’s actual size!


Not to mention you’ve ignored this thread for over two years!


Ya this is a big deal guys. Insert Big Image just stopped working (images disappear and don’t load at random).


Can we get an update on this? We need to be able to see our images with reasonable quality.
