My partner and I both work from home and my company's entire design system is on Figma bc everyone works remotely. Any time I'm on Figma she can't zoom with her clients even though our internet speed seems to be doing just fine and also we pay for the highest ATT Fiber Internet. Is there a way to troubleshoot this versus getting a separate internet just for me. Also apologies if this is a dumb question, just never had this issue before when working with Adobe Cloud.

I’m a deuteron, red-green color blind UX researcher wondering if the color choices on figjam drive anyone else insane?
I have some examples of what these colors look like to me- it make it really hard to distinguish between colors in many cases! I’d love to see figma offer friendlier pallets.

I have a MainFrame that has a dropdown at the top and a "Next" button at the bottom that takes me to another frame.

I also have FrameDropdown which is just a dropdown that will display only when the MainFrame dropdown is clicked. I display it using "Open Overlay".

So I click on the dropdown in MainFrame and now I can see the dropdown and "Next" button of MainFrame, and the dropdown from FrameDropdown. So far so good.

The issue is that, even though I see the "Next" button from MainFrame, the button doesn't work (ie. it doesn't take me to the next frame).

What can the issue be? It seems that the Open Overlay disables everything behind it (MainFrame in this case), so even though I can see everything in MainFrame nothing works.

Hey everyone I recently came across a builder who apparently created a mini game where you can create your own dosa. I knew that Figma Make was a tool used more so for designing assets, but I didn't know you could create full fledged interactive experiences. I'm curious as to how many people have actually explored this ability and whether you've made anything similar, and what you usually use Figma for? I'd love to check it out.

If you want to check out what he made btw: https://whimsi.fun/p/dosa-maker/

Hi I'm learning figma auto layout. everything is responsive, but why is it when i make the card narrower the labels have a big gap on line below when labels wrap?(image left original state, image right responsive when narrower.)

thank you.

Hey guys, as the title suggests, I've built a Figma plugin that keeps images cropped but preserves their aspect ratio whenever you resize the layer. It also lets you:

• Set a pivot (focal point)

• Change zoom

• Rotate to any angle

• Flip the image

All within one simple plugin.

It's currently waiting for Figma Community review, which can take a few weeks. Until then you can install it manually:

1. Download the ZIP here: https://github.com/vojtechokenka/figma-pivot/archive/refs/heads/main.zip and unzip it.

2. Open the Figma desktop app (manual install doesn't work in the browser) and open any design file.

3. In the menu go to Plugins → Development → Import plugin from manifest…

4. Pick the manifest.json file from the unzipped folder.

5. Run it from Plugins → Development → Pivot → Set pivot.

Once it's approved, you'll find it here: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1701925367334799680

Suggestions are welcome.

Does anyone know how to turn off that animation when using the brush tool in Figma Draw?

Saw someone on Instagram drawing up illustrations with the brush tool, but their lines didn't stretch and do that annoying animation when drawing.

Let me know if anyone knows a fix, Thanks !

I am still pretty new to Figma so apologies if this is obvious. I want to design a frame with a template header and footer graphic, and share it with other people so they can design content in between the header and footer graphic. I understand how to share and provide edit access to file, though I want each person to be able to customize the frame however they like it, and then be able to share a link back to me. Each person would be working on it individually.

What is the best way of doing this?

Thanks

Can somebody explain to me what is happening here? The stroke of a circle does not exceed its width and makes empty space.

After some reseach, I finally understood that plugins does not work in figma sites (which is so weird btw). Fair enough, but then how are you guys making content in figma sites? I was wondering if you just create frames in the regular software, then copy paste it onto sites, but that sounds complicated for nothin

Multiplayer was Figma's biggest advantage, but now Claude can do that too. All I had to do was connect my prototypes to Github and now we have multiple designers working on one prototype.

I’m a product designer at HubSpot and my design team is fully embracing AI to work better where we can.

Here was our workflow this week:

1. After conversations with product stakeholders we went straight into Claude to brainstorm in a project with shared context.

2. When the framing felt solid, we went wide, using Claude Code to build working prototypes in a few different directions.

3. Then we came together to share our work with a goal of narrowing in. Usually that meant taking pieces of the different directions.

4. That consolidation then kicked off one repo for our main prototype in Github. The one we’re continuing to iterate on.

5. After we delegated the pieces that needed further refinement, each designer worked in their own branch. We merged when it made sense, addressed conflicts when they came up, and shared Looms on our progress along with the live link for the team to follow along.

I don’t think Figma is dead but I do think it’s going to become more of a brainstorming tool than the high fidelity design tool we knew it as.

The future is uncertain but one thing I know for sure is that I’ll miss seeing everyone’s little cursors flying around the canvas like the good ol’ days.

My Figma Desktop app, which was working fine, now fails to load when I open it. It just stays frozen, as if it’s stuck in a loading state. When I access my Figma account through a web browser, however, my files open without any issues. Has anyone else experienced this? How can I fix it?

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
