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!

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”

+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.

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

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.
