New Apple and Google device frames in Figma

If you haven’t gotten that new iPhone 16 yet, don’t worry, we have the next best thing: new device frames for recent iPhones, Apple Watches, and Android phones.

Rotate & duplicate

When you duplicate an object, rotate it, and then duplicate it again ⌘D (Ctrl +D), Figma will continue that rotation in subsequent copies of your object. We hope you remember this during your next clock icon speedrun.

Get your fill on hugs, quicker

Need quicker access to hugs (and fills)? When working with Auto Layout, you can now set fill and hug attributes for width and height with Actions. Hit ⌘K (Ctrl + K) and search for “set width” or “set height” to do this via keyboard.

Tip: If you’re using the Figma’s desktop app on MacOS, you can even assign keyboard shortcuts to these.

Standardize your file thumbnails

Remember when Figma thumbnails used to be 5:3 aspect ratio? Probably not, because...5:3? Now all thumbnails across Figma Design, Figma Community, Figma Slides, and FigJam share the same, more common and less forgettable, 16:9 aspect ratio.

New FigJam shape picker

We made finding shapes easier:

  • Search for a specific shape by name.
  • Toggle through shapes with tab and arrow keys

We also give the shapes you use most the VIP treatment by prioritizing them to the top of the shape selector.

Sort stickies in FigJam by color, author, stamp count, or stamp type

Need help synthesizing a brainstorm? You can now sort stickies in FigJam by color, author, stamp count, or stamp type. Just select the stickies you want sorted > Organize > Sort stickies by > then select the category you want them sorted by.

Custom team slide deck templates now available on Professional plans

Previously, custom slide templates were only available on Organization and Enterprise plans. Now, they’re available on the Professional plan too. Thanks for your patience as we fixed this.

Publish custom templates to your team or organization

Figma Slides made publishing templates really hard to find, so we introduced more obvious entry points. Share your template with a click of a button, and help your teammates build better decks.

To learn more about publishing custom templates, check out this article.

Publish Figma Slides templates to the Community

Anyone on a paid plan can now publish Figma Slides templates to the Figma Community. Create your deck in Figma Slides > Share > Share to the community.

To learn more about what makes a useful slides template, check out this deck. Or check out this article for steps on how to publish to the community.

View Figma Slides on mobile

Figma Slides are now viewable on your mobile device. View and join a presentation from anywhere.

Embed YouTube videos in Figma Slides

You can now embed YouTube videos in Figma Slides. Add the videos you need, like that new ad concept, or the ones you want, like cats videos, to make your deck more engaging.

Figma Slides template styles management improvements

We heard you. Managing templates styles in Figma Slides has been painful. So we’re making it better.

From a single view, you can now view, edit, delete, or rename template color and text styles—and it’s possible in both slide and design mode. To learn more about managing template styles, check out this article.

Introducing Embed Kit 2.0

Update

FigJam
Collaboration
Extensibility

We’re releasing a new embed kit that gives you more control and flexibility over how you embed Figma in your website or app. With Embed Kit 2.0, you can:

  1. Let users choose which page to display in an embedded Figma file
  2. Hide all embed UI, except the Figma logo, to make embeds feel like a native part of your site or app
  3. Lock the view of the embed to a particular page, frame, or slide
  4. Choose between a light or dark theme, or match the user’s system’s theme
  5. Access data about where a user is clicking in a Figma prototype, or change the user’s view to a specific part of the prototype

Embed Kit 2.0 supports Figma, FigJam, and Figma Slides embeds, and is available starting today. Embeds created with Figma’s original embed kit will continue to be supported.

PDF & JPEG export quality selector

Update
Figma
FigJam
Design

We’ve added a new export quality setting to give you more control over the file size and quality of images when exporting frames and images from Figma as JPEGs or PDFs. A new quality dropdown in Advanced export settings allows you to choose from High, Medium, or Low quality when exporting as a JPEG or PDF. Low quality will compress your images the most, resulting in the smallest file size, and High quality won’t compress images at all. If you do not select a quality setting upon export, there will be no change to how your files are exported; Figma will follow existing default settings (Medium quality for PDFs and High quality for JPEGs). Also available in FigJam.
