Hey @Dennis_Weisscher, thanks for flagging this!

This sounds like a bug, so I’ve passed this onto our Slides team to investigate. From what you’ve described, it sounds like you want and expect the blur effect to remain when exported? We definitely don’t support glass effects right now, but we may be able to look into this capability.

Thanks @dvaliao for your reply! Allright sounds good. Am I expected to keep an eye on release notes or is there any communication plan around a ticket like this? What can I expect?

Hey @Dennis_Weisscher, thanks for following up!

The team confirmed that a fix is in the works, but I don’t have an exact timeline to provide just yet. I’ll update you here once it’s launched.

Hello all! I encounter the same error which is quite unfortunate. Is there any update on this matter?

Kind regards

Hey @Nicolas_Eidenmuller,

No updates yet from the team. We’ll provide an update once we hear back in regards to the fix.

Hey @dvaliao,

Thanks for your quick reply!

I apologize for being persistent about this issue, but we’re about to enter a crucial pitching phase, and the Glass/Blur effect was one of the key reasons we chose Figma Slides. Could the team provide an estimated timeline for a fix or suggest a potential workaround in the meantime? Interestingly, the objects still appear correctly blurred in the preview thumbnails, but the issue occurs during export.

Thank you for your understanding and support!

Best regards,

Nicolas

Hey @Nicolas_Eidenmuller, sorry for the frustration!

We started rolling out a fix for this yesterday. It should be rolled out to 100% of users by the end of day today. Please refresh your Figma tabs to check if the fix has hit your account.

Many thanks for your great support, @dvaliao!! Unfortunately, the fix has not hit my account, but I assume this takes longer than expected.

You’re welcome, @Nicolas_Eidenmuller! 🙂

And sorry to hear the fix hasn’t hit your account yet. I’ll check in with the team to ensure where we’re at and when to expect the fix to reach 100% of users.

Same here.

I have update Figma today, but no luck.

Any update? Waiting for a fix critical to our workflow

Dito. Still no fix after updating

Hey All, thanks for continuing to flag!

It just occurred to the team that the fix pushed was only for exporting blur effects in Figma design and did not include a fix for Slides.

The team is working on a fix for Slides this now. We’ll provide another update on the fix as soon as we can.

Dear All,

when I export it as PNG and untick “Ignore overlapping layers” it works but then I would need to do that for all slides and then convert it back to PDF.

Would be awesome if we could have also the option for PDF to untick. Maybe this helps.

Kind regards

Thank you @Nicolas_Eidenmuller for a hack)

just wanted to mention I still have the same issue and can’t wait to use the new fix:) Wish the team a nice sprint and hope this one is about this feature 🙂

Just wanted to mention that the issue still exists 🙂
