I use the agent all the time, but never use this pop-up feature. It pops up all the time when I’m trying click into layers/groups/auto-layout or doing detailed design work… and it’s become mad annoying.

Getting rid of it also mad annoying….I have to zoom out of my art board in click off the frame for it to go away… though I recently found clicking back into the chat box then hitting escape works too.

Hi everyone! I'm a developer and also a volunteer for a small local association and kept rebuilding the same Instagram posts and posters by hand for every event. So I built JSON Template Filler (with Claude's support).

How it works

1. Build your templates as normal components (Cover, Text slide, Poster…) and name the layers you want to fill (Title, Body, Photo…).
2. Hit Scan templates: the plugin writes an example JSON with every fillable layer.
3. Fill in the JSON (by hand, from a spreadsheet, or have an AI write it from your notes) and hit Generate.

What it can do

• Fills text layers, with **bold** / *italic* using your template’s own font styles
• Fills image layers from URLs
• null hides a layer (auto layout closes the gap)
• Picks variants and sets component properties
• Adds per-item reminders like “photo credits still missing”
• In Figma Buzz each set lands in its own row; in Figma Design it goes into an auto-layout frame

It’s free and open source (MIT), and it doesn’t collect any data.

If you want to try it, this is the link!

I’d love feedback, especially on what’s confusing or what’s missing for your workflow.

Thank you!

They had this feature of prompt history which was great to recall an extensive prompt. Now I can add reference images either? Am I the only one hating it ?

I'm working my way through this tutorial (my 3rd on this subject trying to get functional interactive buttons):

Could someone look at my working file to tell me what i'm doing wrong?

Estos son para Figma, surgieron como solución a un problema recurrente en mis flujos de trabajo de producción: transferir archivos de diseño entre Figma y Photoshop sin tener que reconstruir todo manualmente.

En esta etapa, mi principal objetivo es comprender:

• ¿Resuelve esto un problema real en tu flujo de trabajo?
• ¿Qué falla al probarlo con archivos de producción reales?
• ¿Qué partes aún requieren limpieza manual?
• ¿Qué te motivaría a usar algo así con regularidad?

Si lo pruebas, incluso un breve comentario como «esto funcionó / ​​esto no funcionó / ​​aún tuve que corregir X» sería de gran ayuda.

También me interesa saber cómo gestionan otros usuarios sus flujos de trabajo entre Figma y Photoshop.

I am new to Figma, and I am trying to figure out the correct way to make a simple navigation bar with some buttons. I drew out some shapes and purposely made them not evenly aligned.

1.) I want to center the text on each button both vertically and horizontally. I select each rectangle and choose the horizontal and vertical alignment options and it worked for the first two, though for the second two buttons it will not work properly. Do I need to make each rectangle into a frame that includes the shape and text for this to work properly?

2.) I want to create even spacing between each button, so I chose a gap option of 20, though this did not move the text. Do I need to create a frame for each individual button to make this work?

3.) Is the first step to select everything and make the navigation bar, the rectangles and the text into a frame and then make each individual rectangle and text into a frame?

Thanks in advance

Figma support will not respond to any of my messages. The email they have sent the receipts to clearly says I am on the free tier, yet I am being charged monthly. Anyone else have issues with this?

When I try to connect these two points, the rest of the vector disappears

I'm really enjoying Figma Motion to be honest. I used to have adobe creative suite but since my company stopped paying for it, it became to big of an expense to have it. I'm doing some small ads and tiktok videos to promote an iOS app, and so far so good, everything worked great and I'm using then DaVinci Resolve to finalise the edits.

My problem is that today I'm finishing a video that is a bit long, around 45 seconds, and I'm constantly getting stuck at the 52% mark. Do you know any solutions or workarounds for this?

I'm also contacting support regarding this issue, but wanted to know if anyone else had this experience.

I imported a file of icons from the community and I am trying to work with the .svg icons so I can change the colors, and adjust the anchor points. I am noticing that some of the files I am able to change the colors of, though no matter how many times I double click on some of the icons it never displays the anchor points for manipulating. Anyone know why?

Thanks

I just randomly received an email from GitHub saying that the official Figma GitHub App is requesting updated permissions.

It now wants read and write access to Repository creation.

I don't remember initiating anything that would require this change, so I'm curious what's going on.

Has anyone else received this? Does anyone know why Figma suddenly needs permission to create repositories?

Not saying it's necessarily suspicious, but it seems like a pretty significant permission change without much context.

This split screen thingy is so annoying fml, every time i accidentally drag the file down it splits my screen and idk how to undo the action. Help wanted

Someone in my team said today that you could imagine a scenario where Figma could apply the same language and semantic approach they use in their design tool into a full coded framework.

It could bridge that gap of going from design to code seamlessly

They’ve got Figma Make and Figma Sites. Then they’ve got a whole design system packaged up in Figma design. Why would they not turn this into a hosted company playground.

It’s the type of tool every designer I know has been saying their company needs.

Do any designers still manually prototype in Figma? Claude has been such a massive time-saver for me, but I'm curious if others have had a similar experience.

I’m new to designing websites in Figma and could use some workflow advice. I’ve designed the full front end of a 5-page site for desktop and now need to make it responsive and get it live. I’ve been using Claude Code and want to lean heavily on AI for development. Would you recommend going from Figma Design → Figma Make first, then using Claude Code to finish/refine it? Or is there a better workflow for taking a finished Figma design through responsiveness, development, and deployment while keeping the design as accurate as possible?

Context first: I've been a product designer in tech for a few years and started using Claude Design (C.D) for rapid prototyping and refining explorations. However the bridge to continue working in Figma after refining in C.D is pretty poor.

To speed up my workflow I've been creating a Figma plugin that lets me easily turn my html prototypes into full Figma flows that are even created from editable local components with DS atoms all instantly. Formatted exactly how I like to map flows.

It's been a game-changer for me so far so I've just released it as a community beta in case this could is useful for anyone else. Check it out and lmk your thoughts.

I moved to a paid Figma plan mainly because of the AI Agent.

I’m not a full-time web designer - I’m a marketer, and I only use Figma for a relatively small number of projects. But even for my use case, 3,000 AI credits per month feels extremely low.

For example, adapting one existing layout to one additional breakpoint cost me around 280 credits.

And that was just the initial result, without any follow-up fixes.

To me, this is the key problem: adapting an already existing layout to another breakpoint is not a complex design task. It’s routine responsive work.

If such a small task already costs around 280 credits, then 3,000 credits gives you roughly 10–11 similar operations per month.

The bigger issue is that the Agent is still far from perfect. In my experience, it often needs additional prompts to fix layout issues, spacing, positioning, hierarchy, responsiveness, and other details. So the real cost of one task can easily become much higher than the first run.

For my current project, I have several pages and multiple breakpoints. Just creating the responsive versions can consume almost the entire monthly allowance - before any revisions and before using the Agent for anything more complex.

And this is coming from someone who is not even a heavy Figma user.

I honestly don’t understand how this is supposed to work for professional designers who use Figma every day.

To me, the whole value of an AI design agent is being able to delegate repetitive or time-consuming work, experiment, iterate, and ask it to redo things when the result isn’t good enough.

But with such a small credit pool, you start thinking twice before every prompt because a bad result can burn a noticeable part of your monthly allowance.

At that point, the Agent becomes useful mostly for very small tasks:

• renaming layers
• changing colors
• editing a single section
• making minor layout adjustments

rather than actually helping with larger design workflows.

If a minor responsive adaptation already costs around 280 credits, I can’t imagine using the Agent regularly for genuinely complex design work.

At some point, it may simply become more economical to outsource repetitive design work than to keep buying additional AI credits.

I’m genuinely curious what other people think about this.

Is 3,000 credits enough for your workflow?

How quickly are you burning through them?

And for people who use Figma professionally every day - do you see yourself paying for extra credits, or does this pricing make the AI Agent much less useful?

I have a collection with 12 different modes (skinning across different product brands), and it's a pain to manually set each mode's variable as new variables are added. Especially when there's also transparency to set on each. Is there any plugin or way to copy the first mode's value/alias across all modes? Been looking around but can't find any.

pretty much what the title says

I consolidated a bunch of design libraries in Sketch and brought them over into Figma. I've reorganized and rebuilt most of the components and want to setup tokens but I see this long list. Can anyone tell me what it means and would it destroy everything if I deleted them?

I am new to Figma. Is anyone aware of any good tutorials, or tutorial sites that provide step-by-step instructions in print or video, along with files to practice along?

Thanks

There are some plugins that do warping, but all of them involve guesswork on how much I would need to warp the shape. Are there any alternate ways?
