Figma

The collaborative interface design platform — design, prototype, and ship products together in the browser.

What is Figma?

Figma is the industry-standard platform for interface design, used by virtually every product team to design, prototype, and hand off software. Its founding insight — design files that live in the browser with Google-Docs-style multiplayer editing — ended the era of emailing design files, and it remains the deepest collaborative design tool available. Beyond core vector design, Figma spans an ecosystem: FigJam for whiteboarding, Dev Mode for engineer handoff, Figma Slides, and AI-assisted features like Figma Make that generate designs and prototypes from prompts. Design systems with shared components and variables keep large organizations consistent, while a massive plugin and community-file ecosystem extends everything. A capable free tier serves individuals and small projects, with professional plans priced per editor seat.
