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

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…  🤦🏻

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

+1 we need this feature.

OMFG

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.

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
