What is Figma?
Figma is a design platform that aims to bring together powerful design features you already love and a more efficient workflow. Some features include:
Its plugins help to remove manual, repetitive work, bring in data, and power custom workflows.
- A modern pen tool: Draw in any direction with Vector Networks. No more merging or needing to connect to the path's original point.
- Instant arc designs: Design clocks, watch screens, or pie charts with the Arc tool.
- Be expressive with OpenType: Tap into advanced font features to fully express the brand.
Figma's Autom Layout tool helps users spend more time iterating and less time moving things around.
- Less manual resizing: Buttons can resize with their text and lists can rearrange themselves when items are moved around.
- Stretch to fill: Auto Layout components can now stretch left and right (or top and bottom) for easier responsive design.
- Design speaks development: Auto Layout’s padding, direction, and spacing settings translate directly into code, simplifying developer handoffs.
Its plugins help to remove manual, repetitive work, bring in data, and power custom workflows.
- Plugins for everything: Stock imagery, flow diagrams, color accessibility, charts, and icons.
- Designed for ease: A user that can build a website can build a plugin.
- Private plugins: Organization customers can create and distribute private plugins within their company.
Create prototypes that are like the real experience
Figma helps turn static design files into an interactive experience—no coding required.
- Intuitive build: Simply connect UI elements and choose your interactions and animations.
- Interactions: Define subtle interactions, like on click, while hovering, while pressing a button.
- Mobile-viewing: Experience designs in real life using our Figma mobile app, available for iOS and Android.
- Advanced transitions with Smart Animate: Automagically animate similar objects and create detailed transitions.
- Dynamic overlays: Create multiple layers of interactive content overlays.
- Animated GIFs: Use GIFs to represent motion designs, video elements, and subtle animations.
- All-in-one platform: Toggle between a design file and live prototype. Design edits appear instantly in a prototype.
- Shareable prototype: Share a link to your prototype. View it anywhere with Internet.
- Embedded commenting: Comment in a prototype. They carry over into the design file—so nothing gets lost.

Figma is Awesome
We use it for everything. From designing high fidelity screens, prototypes or mocks ups and even presentations. It is such an amazing tool, giving you a great deal of control and helps you think clearly and bring to life what's in your mind. It is fantastic.
- Build out presentations
- Design screens
- Design mockups of concepts
- File sizes when you export frames as a PDF or JPG. They are often way too large.
We use both the design and dev modes in Figma. We've had it as our primary design collaboration tool for almost 2 years and recently adopted the dev mode functionality to assist with handover. We use it for ideation, prototyping, design system creation and management mostly, but have also used it to help with creation of assets like PDFs for brochures as well.
- Co-design
- Collaboration
- Compatibility
- Design hygeine
- Large projects don't work well in the browser version
- Some issues with billing to large/complex companies
- Better management/curation of Figma community contributions

Best UX Tool
We use Figma for UI/UX designing and prototyping. Our business uses Figma as part of the product development cycle for new software. Our UX designers use the tool to create initial wireframes, finalized UX designs and prototypes. The designs are then used by our development teams to develop the frontend UI for our product. Verifiers also use the designs verification of the frontend development.
- UX designs
- Prototyping
- Collaboration
- The ability to create components so updates can be made once instead of multiple times
- Requires time to learn how to use it
- Can be difficult to correctly layer objects

Vetted Review
Verified User
I use Figma mainly for converting the product requirement document to actual designs and prototypes that will be reviewed by the product management team and handed over to the development team after going through the necessary iterations and final approval of the product team. I also use the prototypes with users to test the product before actually jumping into the development.
- Creation of Interactable Prototypes
- Component Management
- Commenting feature
- Exporting Screens
- Language localization
- The software lags with large project files
- Organization of documents

Great Tool for User Insights
We leverage Figma for across the new product development process—to conduct early state concept testing and resonance testing and mid stage user testing on product prototypes. It's proven invaluable for deep design work such as this.
- Prototyping
- Defining user flows
- Building marketing collateral
- Gaining concensus on high level future state visions for an experience
- Licensing has a high price point, so not everyone on our team has access to all functionality
- Client or cross-team collaboration is limited and challenging if everyone does not have a license. The comment-only functionality for non-licensed users is severely limiting and a high point of frustration.
- The Miro plug-in is useless. I was disappointed to find that it essentially just imports a static, un-editable image. It also does NOT update the image import automatically when a change is made to the original Figma file - extremely frustrating. I still can't understand what the purpose of this plugin is or the value it delivers.
- Not user-friendly or intuitive for folks who need to use Figma, but whose role isn't primarily design-related. Requires significant time investment to really understand, navigate, and utilize the UI.

Design Made Easy: You should know the power of Figma
We are using Figma for Layout Design and Prototyping in my organization. My experience with Figma has been fantastic. It's transformed how my team collaborates on design tasks. We can easily communicate and work together, in single file no matter where we are.
Figma is very fast to use and refresh.

- Figma has very use full plug in for Icons, Illustrations and dev mode also.
- Figma such as occasional performance issues
- Limitation in offline functionality
- Repeat Grid option should be in Figma

Figma review
I use Figma together with my Product designer to create full fledge designs, high fidelity mocks, as well as any collaborative workshops with stakeholders and users. We're solving a problem of collaboration where Figma provides the tools needed to work together and brainstorm with multiple users, as well as quickly create mocks for our engineering teams and marketing decks.
- Collaboration tools
- For a beginner (like myself) this tool was simply enough to get started on "easy" UI changes like copy, which helps my designer a ton
- Presentation feature where we can add functionality to the designs could be a bit more simply to use since this is typically led by product or marketing at my organization

Figma is Great for Design Teams
Our design team uses Figma to create interface designers, and interaction patterns and to create a component library that makes product development easier with our development team. We also use it to create prototypes for user testing and validation. We have also used it for process flows and co-creation as a team.
- User Interface Design
- Component Library Creation and Management
- Prototype creation
- Non-designer collaboration; the controls are very design-focused so it's not as intuitive to use as Miro or other tools
- Video conferencing; I think FigJam is ok, but it definitely needs some refinement

Great Tool for Design and Collaboration
I use Figma for two main cases. The first one is to create service blueprints; So these are diagrams that explain a service, process or digital experience and shows all the different layers. The other thing I use Figma for is to create prototypes. I design the screens in Figma and then take those prototypes into research platforms.
- Organizing screens
- Exporting screens
- Sharing documents with stakeholders
- Notes; hard to edit, organize
- Formatting things in FigJam can be difficult
- Overall organization of documents

Figma Review
Professionally, I've used Figma to create graphics and infographics for both internal and external use within my company. I use it mostly for presentation purposes, but will use it occasionally for workshopping ideas and interactive worksheets for ideating.
Personally, I use Figma for app development and product design with a high focus on UX/UI.
Personally, I use Figma for app development and product design with a high focus on UX/UI.
- web and app design
- collaborative space for ideating with a large team
- premade screen and paper size templates
- Direct copy and paste from similar design apps
- Steeper learning curve than other collaborative digital spaces
- Adjusting placement of objects on frames can sometimes be clunky when done by hand
- UI can be overwhelming at times

Figma is brilliant!
As a UIUX Designer, we have tried plenty of software to create our solutions according to the user needs, and we prefer using Figma because it gives you plenty of tools to create from simple wireframes to complex interactive prototypes, and even to create complete design systems and personalized components. We can have everything integrated and well organized in Figma
- Wireframes
- Mockups
- Interactive Prototypes
- Design Systems
- it could be great to have a better way to organize the files and the internal frames
- It's a bit hard for a non designer to jump into Figma due to the variety of tools and options that are shown
- It's hard for a designer to use autolayout
- It could be good if we could have a easier way to handle components
January 24, 2024
Still ahead of the curve
Our company uses Figma mostly to hand over interface design to developers, so that they can turn them into code. Sometimes, we also use it to document research. It's a single source of truth for us when it comes to design. We have multiple teams and departments that are reflected in teams and spaces.
- Eases collaboration between designers and engineers
- Interface design becomes a breeze via specialized options
- New automation options are always coming and make life of a designer easier: variable, auto-layout, etc
- Organizing teams and files within them
- Improve pricing model, especially of FigJam for enterprise plans, different licensing is needed nowadays and it's silly
- Comments - please do make sure when get moved always, the clustering in groups when you zoom out is such a pain when you have to move them

Collaborative product design & quick turnaround times!
Figma is used throughout all of our product teams and is the best collaborative design tool we've ever used! We could integrate our design system, so now it's super easy for our product designers to set up different projects and drafts all in one coherent look. We use Figma mainly for product design of our digital projects.
- Collaboration
- Ease of use
- Prototyping
- Super fast delivery times
- Export option
- Licensing
- Versioning can get tricky

Figma - impressive tool for app and web design!
We use Figma for wireframing the apps and websites we build, creating app maps, high fidelity prototyping, customer journey mapping, and managing our design system components.
- High fidelity UI design
- Component management
- Variations
- Design to dev handover
- Linking between files
- Advanced prototyping - e.g. carrying states and data across multiple screens
- Annotating things on designs like data points to capture, accessibility coding requirement - we use comments to note these, but would love different colours to distinguish comments for "Insights" (data) versus our own internal design team comments, or comments to the devs

Fantastic tool for prototyping in an efficient way
Figma is great at enabling us to test and learn different designs and prototypes. Without we wouldn't be able to put prototypes in front of clients in order to gather feedback. It is also allows us to make prototypes come to life by animating transitions, which usually go really well with stakeholders.
- wireframing
- design system integration
- prototyping
- navigation
- ease of generating animations for prototypes

Figjam is a hidden gem!
We use Figma's figjam feature almost every day. There are other software out there with similar functions but figjam is by far the best and most reliable. We use it during meetings for supporting visuals, have shared files with team members for inspiration gathering and project updates and use it for team brainstorming.
- Downloadable files
- Online and offline accessibility
- Levels of sharing, view only vs editor
- Commenting function
- Colour wheel option for sticky notes
- Audio chat functions in figjam file
- Improved commenting functions

Collaborative Design
At our organization, Figma plays a pivotal role in our UX design phase, specifically in crafting the initial frontend screens from scratch for our projects, starting from ground zero up to the Minimum Viable Product (MVP). The tool serves as our primary platform for collaborative design ideation and iteration, addressing key business problems related to efficient and effective UX development, and when the developer needs to see how the screen show look like, they use the UX Figma design. It allows us to create, iterate, and refine frontend screen designs in real-time, fostering a cohesive workflow that ensures our designs align with our project objectives and user needs.
- Real-Time Collaboration
- Prototyping and Interactive Design
- Component Libraries and Design Systems
- Performance with Large Projects
- Language Localization, there's only two languages avaiable

Top Class Collaborative Design Tool in the Market
I've using Figma right before our product launch. Once I get the wireframes done, I sit along with the designer to complete mockups. Figma has been a game changer for us as we can "collaboratively" design the screens together with other designers. The changes reflect instantly & we can add comments to others' work right on the board itself.
- Dev mode is an excellent feature that enables developers to build perfect pixel screens.
- Real-time collaboration with an instant feedback provision option really helps us to quickly fix the changes.
- Figma lets you easily convert product designs into react components & the best part is you don't need to worry about the CSS part.
- The software really lags if the project file is big. It sometimes crashes when you import too many assets.
- Version Control feature often finds difficult to locate, we have to deeply explore the tool to check who has made what changes.
- Not too many Font options & we've to import the font styles from outside & to do this I really spent 30 minutes of time. A tutorial would have been helpful.

Comprehensive Software for Both Design and Whiteboarding
I use the figjam whiteboard for brainstorming ideas, creating concepts, mapping out software features and roadmaps, planning content ideas. For designing UI screens, I use the regular Figma app to create quick mockups as well as high definition UI screens in both desktop and mobile sizes. Since both of these features are in a single app, it is easy for me to switch between planning a software feature, and designing the screens for that feature.
- Sharing designs with others
- Generous free tier
- Good drag and drop support for a variety of file types in both the UI editor and Figjam
- UI editor interface is starting to get complicated compared to early iterations
- Component system has a steep learning curve and is easy to make mistakes
- Figjam post it notes and other text and shape features often feel limiting since they can't be smoothly resized as compared to the UI editor

Figma is the go-to for screen-based design
We switched from Sketch to Figma for the more open collaboration that Figma provides as well as the smart tools like the developer preview and auto layouts, symbols, etc. Previously we were using Sketch with Zeplin for handoff of our designs to engineers, but after switching to Figma, everyone agreed it was better and cost-saving for us.
- Being able to leave comments on mock ups for more collaboration
- Auto layout tools that you set up once and don't have to think about again or manually adjust things.
- Easy prototyping tools within the application
- Access control - it wasn't apparent to me at first that a project was shared with everyone in the company vs just people i choose to share it with. I think the inverse should be the default.
- Sometimes it struggles to import old Sketch files - no clue how to make this better, but its frustrating

Figma is a cloud-based design and prototyping tool used for creating UI, web and mobile app designs.
I as product manager, provide business requirements for the UX designer to create mockups and wireframes, later development team will use it to develop and test features.
- Allows users to comment on designs and tag team members
- Create reusable components and leverage them
- Have a lite version of something that allows product manager to create simple designs

Figma is one if the best tools for digital designers.
Figma is our primary design and wireframing tool for all our digital products. We use it to build low-fidelity wireframes and build sitemaps and then use it to transition to high-fidelity designs that are handed off to our development team for implementation. We also use it for client review and approval.
- Great tools for both low and high fidelity designs
- Easy to hand off to development team
- Collaboration tools make it easy to get client feedback.
- The project management tools could be better
- Managing users and workspaces can get a little confusing
