About Figma

Figma revolutionized design collaboration by moving everything to the cloud, enabling real-time co-editing that feels like Google Docs for designers. The 2025 pricing overhaul introduced new seat types (Full, Dev, Collab, View) and significant price increases, but Figma remains the industry standard for UI/UX design. With features like Auto Layout, component systems, advanced prototyping, and AI-powered tools, teams can go from concept to developer handoff seamlessly. Dev Mode helps developers inspect designs and extract code, while FigJam adds whiteboarding for ideation. The free Starter plan (3 files) lets you test the platform before committing.
