Inga Hampton from Raycast shared a time-lapse of a complex model made entirely in Figma.

A step-by-step video tutorial on how to create a laser beam effect.

Kudos to Oğuz for his patience while creating such a sleek and advanced animation with just a Figma prototype. That’s a lot of frames to connect.

Beautiful radial navigation made by Mark Bennett.

Rogie is just showing off with this beautiful artwork.

Misha Frolov provides an overview of how the new AI tools change the workflow.

Turns out, you can copy text styles from the selected text!

Vijay always finds the most remarkable applications for the new Figma features. This one uses the new duplicate and rotate.

The beta of UI3 is now available to everyone. Check out this list of changes made after hearing the feedback.

In the past, the file browser and the community files required different thumbnail aspect ratios. Now, it’s standardized at 16:9 across Figma files, FigJam, and Figma Slides.

Figma added iPhone 16 (including Pro, Pro Max, and Plus), Apple Watch Series 10 (42mm and 46mm), and Android (Compact, Medium, Expanded) to the Frames menu. If you need vector iPhone 16 device frames for the prototyping, Keeyen published the community file with different models and colors.

Joey Banks shows one of the newly announced features. When objects are duplicated, rotated, and then duplicated again, Figma will continue that rotation with subsequent copies of your object.

Inga Hampton, Product Designer & Illustrator at Raycast, does pure sorcery in Figma.

My personal Figma account is on UI3, but I spend most of my days in a work account stuck on UI2. Surely I’m not the only one in this boat who found switching between two UIs quite distracting. Can’t wait to start using UI3 in my daily work.

You can now rename files in the desktop app by double-clicking the tab name.

Describing design details with plain text is a nice way to communicate the intent to developers.

I look forward to the next release of Supa Palette with support for OKLCH and reusable configs!

Ridd argues that the pendulum has swung too far, and designers hating on design systems are missing the point. You might not need an enterprise-grade system with all bells and whistles, but every product can benefit from a set of simple components: ​“I’ll suggest design systems are most valuable when you DON’T know what the product will be… Investing in a set of core components minimizes the number of knobs you need to turn in order to iterate.”

I didn’t know I needed this until I saw it. Plan the presentation in FigJam, then turn it into a deck outline in Slides: ​“Think it in FigJam, present it in Figma: create a Figma Slides outline from a FigJam board with a few clicks.”

The desktop app on macOS now sports a refreshed app icon.
