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!

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.

Just throwing my hat in the ring to say get rid of this arbitrary restriction. Images should be limited by filesize - not resolution.

Ironically it is impossible to import screenshots of my Figma frames into Figma 🤦‍♂️.

Chiming in to say: We need this! It’s so cumbersome when working with web pages, among other things.

I have a neat trick for you. Start by converting the image into SVG format using design tools like Adobe XD. Then, simply place it into your Figma file. I’ve been using this method for quite some time now, and it works like a charm.

Figma, please don’t resize big images.
