Figma gives designers more room for video-based workflows

Figma has increased the video upload limit from 100 MB to 300 MB across several Figma products. Published on June 10, 2026, the update gives designers more room to work with richer video assets in Figma Design, FigJam, Slides, Sites, and Buzz, especially when building prototypes, presentation flows, web concepts, and branded visual materials.

Figma gives designers more room for video-based workflows

The update is simple, but useful: users on Professional, Organization, and Enterprise plans can now upload videos up to 300 MB in Figma Design, FigJam, Figma Slides, Figma Sites, and Figma Buzz. That is three times the previous 100 MB limit.

For web designers and template creators, this matters because video is becoming a normal part of modern design workflows. It can be used to test hero sections, product demos, app previews, social assets, animated content blocks, presentation decks, landing page concepts, and interactive prototype behavior before anything is fully built.

Why the 300 MB limit matters for prototypes

Video can make a prototype feel closer to the final user experience. Instead of showing a static placeholder, designers can test how a product preview, animation, onboarding clip, tutorial moment, or media section feels inside the actual flow.

Figma's help documentation also notes that videos in prototypes can be used as fills, support formats such as MP4, MOV, and WebM, and can include interactions such as autoplay, looping, mute controls, timestamp triggers, play or pause actions, and video state behavior. With a larger upload limit, teams have more room to test these ideas without compressing assets as aggressively.

Useful for Figma Sites, Slides, and Buzz

The increase also matters beyond classic UI prototypes. In Figma Sites, larger videos can help designers test more realistic landing page sections, campaign pages, portfolio previews, product storytelling, and visual backgrounds. For Figma Slides, teams can include stronger motion examples in design reviews, pitch decks, and internal presentations.

In Figma Buzz, the update can support richer branded assets where video is part of the final communication format. This is helpful for teams creating campaign variations, announcement graphics, product visuals, or social content that needs to stay close to a brand system.

What web designers should still check

A larger upload limit does not mean every project should use heavier video files by default. Designers still need to think about file organization, loading expectations, playback behavior, compression, device performance, and whether the video actually improves the experience.

For template work, the best use case is intentional video: a preview that explains a product, a prototype that depends on motion, a hero section that needs realistic testing, or a presentation asset that communicates better with movement than with static screens.

REMEMBER: The new Figma video upload limit gives teams more creative room, but final websites should still optimize video size, format, loading behavior, accessibility, and performance before publishing.{alertSuccess}

Daisuki's Take: What This Means for Web Designers

For web designers, this Figma update is a practical quality-of-workflow improvement. Larger video uploads make it easier to prototype interfaces that depend on motion, media previews, product demos, or animated storytelling without constantly fighting the file size limit.

We think this is especially useful for teams working across design, presentation, and publishing. A video asset can now move more naturally between a prototype, a site concept, a slide deck, or a branded content workflow, which makes Figma feel more connected for visual production.

The practical takeaway is to use the extra space with intention. Bigger files can help make prototypes more realistic, but good web design still depends on clarity, performance, and user experience. The stronger workflow is not just uploading larger videos, but using video where it makes the design easier to understand.
