Hello, I’d like to raise what I believe is a very reasonable and long-overdue request.
Figma is a professional tool, widely used across design and development teams, and charged at a premium rate. Yet, it lacks a fundamental feature for UI design validation: the ability to float a frame or image in a transparent window above other apps, such as a mobile simulator.
This is an essential need when comparing a design with a live implementation, particularly in mobile development. Tools like Overlay (which is currently unreliable), ScreenFloat, or even basic screenshots partially solve this—but these are third-party workarounds for something that should be native to Figma.
I’m surprised this hasn’t been addressed yet. It would be extremely useful to:
-
Export or pin a frame as a semi-transparent floating window.
-
Overlay it on top of a running app or simulator to check pixel precision.
-
Adjust opacity and toggle click-through mode for interaction below.
Is there any official plan to support this kind of feature?
I believe many of us would strongly benefit from this addition.
Thanks in advance for reading.
