As a UX/UI designer I use Figma everyday for all kinds of stuff, and I love it, I might write a review on it in the future. But there has been one issue that I have had a couple times, and I have now found out what was going on and how to fix it.
Problem:
Sometimes you need to take screenshot of existing websites or flow when designing something new, for quick reference or just as inspiration. What can sometimes happen is you have a nice crisp image, place it in Figma and it shrinks it, when you scale it up to its actual size it pixelates it… why?
Update 2018: They now shrink the image instead of pixelating it.
Why?
Figma has a build in size limit for images of 4000 pixels, so any image larger in either height or width will be down scaled to fit… In a bad way.
Solution:
To get around this you can either make your image smaller but that much not work too well. Or, and this is what I do: Crop the image into parts, so top, middle and bottom. Then you easily place them back into Figma all nice a crisp. And simply join the image back together.
Problem, Solved!
