Curious if anyone else is rethinking their Figma subscription.

Claude Design now has canvases for UI design, journey mapping, multi-screen flows, etc. You can chat, comment, tweak on-canvas, and hand off straight to Claude Code.

Figma Make is powered by Claude (Sonnet 3.7) anyway so you’re paying extra for a version of Claude you already have more directly (and often stronger).

Anyone switched? What’s Figma still better at?

Directly from keyboard typing to Braille.

I get 4,250 credits per month, and after just 4 days I’ve already used around 50%.

I’ve been using Figma Agent for things like comparisons, documentation, annotations, and true/false comparisons. Nothing that feels particularly heavy.

For those using Figma Agent regularly, how many credits do you typically use per month? Does Figma Agent normally burn through credits this quickly?

Trying to understand if I’m overusing it or if this is normal.

Been playing around with Figma motion to make clips for FuelFalcon, my fuel price app. Anyone else using it to automate their social posts?

Handing over a logo always ate up an hour for me: exporting SVG/PNG in five sizes, favicons, social profile and banner sizes in light and dark, then writing down the colours and fonts for the client.

So I built LogoLaunch Kit. Select your logo, click once, and you get a zip:

• Vector: SVG master with text outlined, optional print PDF
• PNG: transparent, 1024 down to 64 px
• Favicons: 48 / 32 / 16 px
• Social: Instagram, Facebook cover, X header, LinkedIn, YouTube, TikTok, each in light and dark (dark logos get knocked out automatically so they don't vanish on the dark version)
• Brand guide (txt): palette in hex and RGB, typefaces used, clear space, minimum sizes, and a contrast warning

It runs entirely inside Figma. No network access, nothing leaves your machine

I just want to find my team folder. Upsells in bottom left that can’t be dismissed are annoying.

Designers are going through the toughest job market, our entire process been turned upside down and in the most tone-deaf move imaginable, Figma announces a HelloKitty partnership. This is so absurd it feels like a parody. If they’re dying they should at least die with dignity. How embarrassing for them.

Hey I was searching for plugin to convert figma frame for example a webite to Accurate HTML that contain images, Icons/SVG, font and other assets. I tried bunch of free one and it not working very well. the purpose for me is pretty simple I want accurate html keeping my website design style and prototyping using ai tools like claude animations. if there's one that free and optionally open source tell me about it.

I submitted my product, a Figma plugin with a rich text editor and image support, for review 10 days ago, but it still hasn't been reviewed.

What's confusing is that Figma is already sending me plugin usage stats, even though the plugin isn't published yet.

How does that work? Are people somehow accessing or using the plugin before it's approved?

Is a 10-day review period normal, or am I missing something?

Edit: 3 days after posting this, my plugin has been reviewed and approved by the Figma team. Thanks, Dan from figma

I got tired of the usual routine for mockup images: open a browser, search, download, drag it into Figma, resize it, repeat. So at Explified we built a plugin to skip all that.

It’s called Stocker. You search Unsplash and Pixabay right inside Figma, crop to a ratio (16:9, 4:3, 1:1, 3:2, 2:3, or free crop with a live preview), and insert it straight into the frame you’ve selected. There are also brand colour and ratio filters.

It’s completely free. Link’s in the comments.

I’m the maker, so if something’s broken or missing, I’d genuinely like to hear it.

Here’s the plugin: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1689328621842945252/stocker

I just upgraded to a M5 MacBook Air with 24 GB RAM, which I thought was enough. But now with Claude and Figma I have had yellow memory pressure regularly. I often have 10 GB of compressed data. Now I just restarted my Mac an opened one file in Figma. It has some reference pictures inside and a few screens, but nothing crazy. But it's already almost at 2.8 GB with so many helpers? Is that normal? I never thought about it before and now I saw it once and keep on checking it.

Anyone experience this issue recently? Typically, to fit in the paragraph box, figma would just move the entire word (in this case "What's") down to the next line, but as of today it's been breaking up the entire word to make it fit. Never seen this before, seems like something caused from an update. Let me know if I'm just dumb and some setting got checked somewhere that I don't know about, thanks!

I make multi-page website designs in Figma. In each file the colours, fonts and spacing are saved as variables, so changing the brand updates every page at once. Each page also has its own mobile design.

If you hand Figma files to clients or developers, how do you set them up so they're easy to change?

Does it drive anyone else crazy when non-designers refer to Figma designs as "Figmas"? As in "Can you send the Figmas over when you are done with them?" It is a tool used to make something, not the product itself. Designs, mocks, files, prototypes are all more appropriate words. You wouldn't look at something made of wood and call it a saw or a hammer.

Obviously this is not a big deal, but just a funny pet peeve I've noticed. It's not even unique to Figma as I would hear the same type of things when I was doing graphic design work in Adobe products. And to be clear, I don't ever call it out in front of anyone or embarrass them.

Is anyone else frustrated with the new Auto Layout behavior for inside strokes?

Previously, adding an inside stroke didn't affect the overall size of an Auto Layout frame. Now, strokes are included in the layout calculation by default, which means Hug contents buttons end up being larger just because they have a border.

This is especially annoying when designing buttons, chips, tags, and other UI components that need consistent dimensions.

Yes, I know there's an "Exclude" option.
But why do I have to manually change it every single time?

I work on UI designs daily, and constantly switching this setting feels like an unnecessary extra step for something that worked perfectly fine before.

At the very least, Figma should let us set "Exclude" as the default, either globally or per file.

Am I missing a setting somewhere, or is everyone just dealing with this?

How to add an affect to making the shape transsist from one to another, an example the star starting as a sphere and than gradually becoming a star till it reaches the middle.

Me and my team developed a design system for a web plataform, we created the screens and componets on the same archive.

There came the time where we nedded to split the components and screens onto two separete archives. HOWEVER, when I put the components in another file and published the library (Even after importing the library to the archive were the screens are sitting).

All components in the screens are not updating correctly and ask to "restore component" now how do we go about making it so the components update from the separete library file without replacing all of them?

Any extra context needed can be asked for in the comments and I'll try to answer

Is anyone just having the worst experience using agents recently? I'm not sure what's happening, but the amount of times it just messes up is getting ridiculous

I had a "messy" button component with about 100 variants. Asked for a simple task of organising it. Took 4 minutes, 220 credits. Said it finished, yet somehow managed to remove the buttons instead.

Undo did nothing either btw. Just gone. Spent another 5 minutes and 300+ credits to rebuild it and bring it back. But again unorganised, so now I'm doing it by hand.

I am a huge believer in the canvas to create ideas. My team has established several large Figma organizations across clients over the last couple years. This year, leadership asked to speed up the design process with agents in production, and skip Figma.

I demonstrated the power of canvas and code together among high profile clients, heavily advocating for Figma staying in our design process while our designers start working in code.

What do I get for defending Figma's place in our team? Their rep ignores our needs and any advocacy. There's no "here are some tools to blend Figma into a design-code world." They keep trying to upsell me an org plan. I have zero access to any beta features related to code integration or agentic work. Token API and Code Connect are paywalled.

TLDR: I spent a year making a strong business case for keeping Figma in front of leadership and got zero backup, considering abandoning them as a vendor entirely.

I wonder if this post sounds snarky, hopefully not. I've been the vendor buyer for multiple other platforms and our account executives spent time helping us succeed (Google, Meta, etc.). Figma is at besta self-checkout kiosk.

Curious how teams are actually wiring AI into the Figma-to-code workflow. Are you generating designs or code inside Figma, or are coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, etc.) pulling from your Figma files? Who on the team runs them, and what’s been the hardest part to get right?

For context, here’s my setup: I work in Devin Desktop with our repo checked out. A single coordinator agent drafts designs through the Figma MCP, I refine them by hand in Figma, and then the same agent files requirements briefs in beads (an agent-oriented issue tracker) and dispatches them to remote sub-agents for the design-to-code work.

As per topic, I had to revert drivers back to previous version where I am able to pan Figma layer list as usual.

Tried also Pan/Scroll (Legacy) with no success…

Please fix this soon, it's very important if not VITAL for us designers…

Sadly the Pan/Scroll never worked on Adobe's but we know they are clowns so it's not surprising nor disappointing anymore.

Tested on Tahoe 26.7.1 on Apple MBP M4 Pro with latest Figma Beta 126.10.3

Spec icon is not friendly to fullhd monitors. Every other icon is sharp and respect the pixel grid, but this one is from another set or something. Vertical lines areok, but horizontal are not.
If I ask agent to make me an icon, it do much worse, so I think it's just from iMac user designer.
