There are times when having sections free of constraints is nice… but my design team has become addicted to using auto layout with frames. In many cases when using sections, it would be amazing to perfectly space the inner sections out using auto layout.
Hi Figma Team, I’m encountering an issue after a recent update where “Copy as PNG” (Cmd-Shift-C) no longer works for images, frames, or groups up to 4096 x 4096 px—which was previously the maximum import size without resizing. Before the update, I could copy a selection as a PNG, paste it into Photoshop for edits, and then (ensuring it stayed within the 4096 x 4096 px limit) paste it back into Figma – either replacing the original or as a new variant in an image component. Now, attempting this results in the attached alert. Was this an intentional change, or is this a bug? Would appreciate any insights—thanks in advance for looking into it! Best,Steve
Alright, guys FigPals were the best (and weirdest) thing to come out of April Fools’ this year. They follow your cursor, help you design, and love you unconditionally… maybe too much. 👀 But here’s the problem—they’re only available for April Fun Week! 😭 We can’t let this be just a one-time joke. FigPals deserve to be a permanent feature (with a toggle for those who don’t want constant companionship). That’s why I made a Change.org petition to show Figma how much we want to keep them! 👉 Sign here: https://www.change.org/p/make-figpals-a-permanent-figma-feature Let’s make sure our tiny, slightly obsessive design assistants don’t get deleted forever. #KeepFigPals 🩷🐾 mr bonky mr bonky
I’ve been trying Figma and Figjam to replace Milanote or Miro Board and it’s close but not quite there yet, especially for using video in either Figma or Figjam. Below are some pros I’ve found and some suggested improvements for both Figma and Figjam when it comes to dealing with image and video especifically. Figjam: Feels a bit better for sharing video for feedback because it can be played directly on the board, but then there’s no option to showcase the file name and that is very important for Motion Graphics or 3D animators because we need to be able to reference the file we have locally. Milanote displays the filename automatically and I think it would be great if we could have the option to showcase the file always, or not, or maybe only on hover. The fact that we can type text and DIRECTLY tag other people without needing to create a comment is great, especially for feedback. Playback controls to loop and scrub through the video would be amazing as well. Being able to see a stil
While using figma for free we were able to collaborate with multiple people. Once We decided to buy some roles we lost access and others can only view rather than help. Is this normal?
I’m hovering outside the layer to try and activate the rotation cursor, but it’s not showing. How come?
Hi everyone! I’m new here on the forum and I’m dealing with a Figma issue I haven’t been able to solve. When I hit "Play" to preview navigation between multiple screens, Figma only shows a basic screen-to-screen transition — completely ignoring the animations already configured inside my components. I’m not sure if this is a mistake on my part or something I changed by accident. When I create an animated component, it works perfectly. And when I test transitions between multiple animated components, they behave as expected. But once I place those components inside the main frame — for example, simulating a website with slide-style pages — the animations stop working. The transitions between screens become flat and instant, with no effects applied. Also, in some cases where the animation does work, if I go back to a previous slide, it appears fully rendered — as if the animation had already finished loading before the screen appeared. One strange thing: when I refresh the prototype, the
With the new update, we have a great new feature, but unfortunately, it’s not usable with our component structure. Exposing all props of a nested instance also exposes props that we don’t want in the context of the consuming component. What if we could also select which properties to expose? This would lead to a cleaner sidebar with only valid props.
Because I use slides modularly, sometimes I have several presentations that start with the same slide. However, on my thumbnails, I want to be able to see which presentation the file is for by selecting a different slide on the deck as my thumbnail
Paste to Replace is no longer working properly as of a few days ago. It seems to be using Paste as Text despite using the shortcut and context menu options for Paste to Replace. Desktop app seems to be working as intended but I prefer the browser version if that’s still a viable option. In browser I have tried: Logging out/in Signing out of other devices Clearing browser cache, history, etc. Worst case I can switch to desktop app, just curious if I’m doing something wrong here. Thank you!
It started in Figma slides, I texted support and none of their advices worked. I asked figma community in telegram chats, also no idea except “show behind transparent areas” but it also did not worked. Is it supposed to work like this or what? Before I never had this issue for months… But now instantly… IT IS SO ANNOYING :(
I-ve been using a plugin to remove the background of images directly in Figma. After the last update I found out that an option to Remove Background from the Figma UI was there. Fig 1 But after using the Drop Shadow Effect on an image with the background removed using this method, I found out that it is not correctly reading the transparent pixels. Fig 2 I tested the previous plugin I was using to remove the backgrounds and had no issues applying the Drop Shadow Effect. Fig 3 Fig 1 Fig2 Fig 3
Hi Figma community, I’m encountering a recurring issue when exporting presentations from Figma, and I’d appreciate any help or insights: When I try to export slides — whether individually or as a full presentation — some slides export just fine, but others come out completely blank, with no visible content. Here’s what I’ve tried so far: • Exporting in different formats (PNG, PDF, etc.) • Checking for hidden or locked layers • Moving the content into a new frame • Reviewing any effects, masks, or layer blending that might interfere Despite all of that, the problem persists with the same specific slides. Has anyone run into this before or knows what might be causing it? Could it be a bug? Something related to layer hierarchy, components, or applied styles? Any suggestions or workarounds would be much appreciated 🙏 (Happy to share screenshots or file samples if helpful.) Thanks in advance!
I’m trying to switch a variant of component instance by switching variable mode. This works perfect once the component A is on top level and not nested. But if I nest component A into component B and then change the variable, the instance of component A still changes the variant as supposed but this also resets all other other properties of comp A to their defaults. This doesn’t happen when comp A is not nested. Tried with several components even with the simplest created from scratch. This topic doesn’t relate to prototypes and interactivity.
Hi all, This has been driving me crazy and I feel like with the new update it has further just muddled my opinion. I’m working within a multi brand design system. One component library, multiple brands with different colours and fonts. (I have thoughts about that but alas I am a lowly designer and not high enough to create change) Brand switching also became a little easier with variables and tokens, however there is a limit to 4 brands before you need to upgrade your Figma plan which we can’t do. Since we have more than 4 brands (and type variables are still quite new), what is the best way to do this? We’ve been doing it two ways, either: Create atoms, organism. Use a variant called brand and switch in the main organism Create atoms, and variants within the atoms. Create organism, create brand variant in organism. Use variants in atoms to switch Either way the main organism has a brand variant. The text/colour styles are linked in the base file, so I suppose the only positive to maki
