About Figma

Figma is a collaborative design tool for user interfaces, prototypes and design systems that runs in the browser and in desktop apps. Multiple people can edit the same file at once, leave comments and share links instead of exporting files. Components, variables and auto layout help teams build consistent design systems, and Dev Mode gives developers measurements and code snippets. FigJam adds a whiteboard for workshops and brainstorming. A free starter plan exists, while professional and organization features require paid seats, which is a common reason teams look at alternatives.

Best for: Product teams designing and prototyping interfaces together.
