About FigJam

FigJam is Figma's whiteboard, built for brainstorming, diagramming, retrospectives and meetings with a playful, approachable style. It has sticky notes, shapes and connectors, stamps and emotes, sections, tables, timers and voting, plus widgets and plugins from the Figma community. AI tools can generate templates, sort stickies and summarise ideas. Because it shares Figma's file system, design teams can paste frames from Figma files, link to them and discuss work in the same place. FigJam is included with every Figma seat, and Figma's Collab seat gives non-designers access to FigJam and Slides at a low monthly price; the free Starter plan offers limited access. Open sessions let anyone join a board for a day without signing in. It runs in the browser and Figma's desktop apps, and there is a FigJam app for iPad. Its structure and facilitation tools are lighter than Miro's or Mural's for large workshops, but for product teams already in Figma it is the obvious choice.

Best for: Product and design teams already using Figma who want a friendly shared whiteboard.
