Figma’s upgraded Color Contrast Checker is now built right into the color picker, making it easy to meet WCAG AA and AAA standards as you work.
You get live feedback while picking colors, so there’s no guesswork. It helps ensure your designs are not just beautiful but also usable for everyone, including millions who rely on accessible interfaces.
Because accessibility isn’t a nice-to-have anymore. It’s a must.
No more toggling between modes just to leave notes for your developer teammates. Figma now allows annotations directly inside the design editor. With color-coded categories, your communication is streamlined and clearer than ever, helping teams collaborate efficiently and harmoniously. The annotations are easy to track, manage, and organize, significantly reducing the friction that typically occurs during the handoff from design to development.
Awkward slide decks don’t exist anymore. Figma Slides, fresh out of beta, redefines how presentations are designed and delivered. With new PowerPoint integration, intuitive slide numbering, smooth video playback, and object animations, creating compelling presentations within Figma. Your pitch decks, product demos, and project updates will now come alive with dynamic content, ensuring every presentation leaves a lasting impact.
Figma has introduced several game-changing updates that enhance your workflow:
This small update eliminates unnecessary clicks, saving precious minutes every day. Additionally, variable paint visibility can now be toggled easily, keeping your workspace clean and focused. Duplicate or copy styles with a single click, accelerating adjustments and iterations without starting from scratch.
This release includes numerous subtle yet impactful UI refinements that enhance everyday usability:
Together, these tweaks significantly enhance interface polish and daily productivity.
One of the best updates this month is Connected Projects, and it’s super useful for real teamwork.
Now, freelancers, clients, and teams from different Figma accounts can work on the same files together, without needing to be on the same plan. No more sending copies, no more back-and-forth. Just open the file and start working, all in real-time.
You can invite anyone, co-edit smoothly, and keep everything in sync. Whether you’re working with a client, an agency, or a teammate outside your company, it just works.
Simple, clean, and made for the way we actually work today.
Figma made some nice changes to layouts and controls that’ll make your life easier.
Now, you can edit corner radius directly, no need to open extra menus every time.
When you add a fill, effect, or grid, the settings flyout opens automatically, so you can adjust things faster.
And the color picker now shows contrast info right there, helping you follow accessibility rules without using any extra tools.
Overall, small changes, but they save a lot of time while designing.
This one’s a treat for developers, architects, and infra teams, FigJam just got over 1,700 new icons added to its library!
These icons come from platforms like AWS, Google Cloud (GCP), Microsoft Azure, and Kubernetes. So now, if you’re making diagrams, flowcharts, or cloud architecture plans, you can use official, accurate icons right inside FigJam.
No more hunting for logos online or using random shapes. Everything you need to visually explain your system or data flow is already built in. It saves time, looks neat, and helps your entire team understand things faster.
Perfect for infra reviews, sprint planning, or just explaining your backend setup to non-tech folks.
Developer Mode has been enhanced significantly. The eyedropper tool now operates within Dev Mode, simplifying the process for developers to capture exact values, copy tokens, and maintain consistency between design and development phases.
Recognizing the importance of global accessibility, Figma now supports Spanish and Korean languages. This expansion underscores Figma’s commitment to being a truly global tool, catering to a diverse and expanding community of designers worldwide. Language barriers are significantly reduced, enabling more effective collaboration among international teams and enhancing productivity.
The thriving Figma community and plugin ecosystem received notable enhancements as well. New, robust APIs and plugin improvements allow developers to create even more powerful integrations. Community-driven templates and resources have become more discoverable and easier to access, facilitating knowledge sharing and creative inspiration.
Figma’s April 2025 update isn’t just about new features, it’s about making your entire design journey better. Whether you’re working solo or with a team across time zones, everything feels smoother, faster, and more fun.
These updates are built to boost your creativity, collaboration, and flow, so your ideas can shine without friction.
