Hey guys! My Figma file is extremely slow, it constantly runs out of memory. Also when I try to create a PDF file out of it, the size is huge. Can you please take a look and help me figure out what’s going on?

Figma – 9 Mar 23

Main reason: there are a lot of images.
Each HeaderImage layer group actually has 2-8 images each, 1-7 of which are hidden. Now there are at least 20 of these. That’s around 160 layers that has big images.

Best way to do this is to make a component that hosts these images, that way Figma will not load each image individually, but use them as instance of a component.
