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!

Just voted! I’m also hoping this is a feature added in the next update. It’s frustrating when images are resized smaller and they’re pixelated. Especially for things like comp analyses, when I’m trying to import a screenshot of an entire webpage / experience, and I want to show other designers and stakeholders the full experience of a competitor.

The result is a super small pixelated image that can’t be resized. Not good for presentations or showcasing professional work.

Just learned of this. It took me over an hour of research to figure out what was going on. Wow. crazy. What a terrible choice. I hope this gets fixed!

Still insane

This is infuriating!

Please just give us the option of pasting high-res and, if there’s no way to accomplish this and maintain performance, provide a warning about making the page load slow. Or make us select images and turn on “full res” mode when we need it.

Surely there is an acceptable way to meet user needs here! People often need to work with screenshots and other types of reference images, as evidenced by all the flustered professionals who have found their way to this page.

Just adding my voice to the many who’ve already posted here to express their need to use large images - we’re mocking up web pages… sometimes for mobile.

+1 from me as well. Doing UX research, and collecting screenshots to document the findings to have a solid and provable stand in a discussion with the client and stakeholders is crucial. How professional does it look to show a bunch of pixelated images? The workaround seems silly tbh. Please get rid of the 4000px limitation for your users to be able to work!
