Product Details

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:
  • 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 available online as a SaaS, and it can be downloaded for WIndows, or MacOS. Figma is also available via a mobile app for iOS and Android.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

We primarily rely on Figma as our primary tool for translating business requirements into visual designs. Figma is offering real-time collaboration, robust version control, cross-platform compatibility, streamlined feedback and iteration processes, and efficient design-development handoff. And also Figma is able to encompass web, desktop mobile applications, and lite graphic design. It extends to prototyping, design system management, and remote collaboration, making it an ideal tool for creating, refining, and iterating digital products in a collaborative and efficient manner.

We use Figma for all our digital design needs. This includes designing website landing pages, web banner ads, icon design, digital illustrations, wireframing, digital product design and documentation, app design and the creation and management of our design systems. Figma helps keep the design team organisation wide aligned on what is being worked on and helps facilitate feedback within the tool.

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.
