    Transfer a project or team to a different company

    Before you start

    Who can use this feature

    People on the Professional, Organization, and Enterprise plans can initiate project or team transfers. Only organizations on the Organization or Enterprise plans can receive a project or team.

    Only admins can send or accept a transfer request.

    Figma lets you transfer projects or teams between different companies. For example: If you work at an agency, you can transfer assets to a client after work has completed.

    Note: If you are on the Professional plan and transfer your paid team, we’ll automatically refund any remaining time on your plan. For example: If you transfer your team halfway through a monthly billing period, we will refund the second half of the month to your credit card.

    Project or team transfers include the following resources:

    There are three steps to transfer a project or team between organizations:

    1. Choose where to send the project or team
    2. Send a transfer request
    3. Accept the transfer request

    1. Choose a location for the project or team

    Before you can move a project or team between organizations, Figma needs to know where the resources should go.

    A person at the company who receives the project or team needs to provide a destination URL.

    1. Log in to your organization in a web browser.
    2. Navigate to the team the project will move into.
    3. Copy the entire URL in your browser address bar.
    4. Send this URL to the person at the other company.

    Tip: You can always move the project to a different team later.

    1. Log in to your organization in a web browser.
    2. From the file browser, click All teams or All workspaces.
    3. Copy the entire URL in your browser address bar.
    4. Send this URL to the person at the other company

    Note: Any team you transfer between two Figma organizations will keep its access settings, whether that's open, closed or secret.

    2. Send a transfer request

    The admin from the company sending the project or team starts the transfer process.

    Caution: If you transfer a file that contains a published library, other files in your organization won’t receive updates from this library after the transfer is complete. We recommend keeping libraries and their files together.

    1. In the file browser, navigate to the project or team you want to transfer.
    2. Click the Settings tab.
    3. In the Transfer or delete section, select Transfer ownership of this project or Transfer ownership of this team.
    4. Review the information in the modal and press Next.
    5. Enter the destination URL and email address of your contact at the other company and press Request transfer.

    We’ll send an email to your contact and all organization admins in the other organization so they can accept the transfer.

    You will receive an email when the transfer is complete.

    Tip: Organization admins can request a team transfer from Admin settings:

    1. Open the file browser.
    2. Select Admin settings in the sidebar.
    3. Click the Teams tab and navigate to the team you’d like to transfer.
    4. Press the More menu and select Transfer team.

    3. Accept a transfer request

    Caution: When you accept a transfer request, it takes around 5 minutes to move the project or team between companies. Members of the project or team won’t be able to use certain features of Figma during this time. We recommend accepting the transfer at a time that will cause minimal disruption to members of the project or team.

    When an admin at another organization sends you a transfer request, Figma will ask you to review and accept the transfer. After you accept, the project or team will get added to your organization.

    The transferred project or team includes its current files and members. Members from the sending organization will get added to your organization, which may add more paid editors to your billing plan. You can manage these editors after the transfer is complete.

    Additional considerations for admins on the Enterprise plan:

    • If you have restricted guest access and there are guests in the team being transferred, they won’t transfer with the team.
    • If you have set default roles so new members are given the Viewer-restricted role, any new people created in your organization during the transfer will get this role, even if they were previously Editors on the team.
    • If you have workspaces enabled, you’ll need to manually assign the team to a workspace after the transfer is complete.
