What is Figma?
Figma's mission is to make design accessible to everyone. Our products help people express their ideas visually and make things together.
- Figma Design is for people to create, share, and test designs for websites, mobile apps, and other digital products and experiences. It is a popular tool for designers, product managers, writers and developers and helps anyone involved in the design process contribute, give feedback, and make better decisions, faster.
- Dev Mode unlocks a feature set within Figma Design that helps transform your designs into code. With Dev Mode, designers and developers can stay on the same page, making sure important details aren’t lost in the handoff process.
- Figma Slides is a slide deck creation tool that lets you and your team create beautiful presentations. Insert designs and prototypes from Figma Design, co-create and present confidently with collaboration and presentation tools, and use interactive widgets to gather stakeholder feedback before your presentation even ends.
- FigJam lets you create online whiteboards where anyone can take part. People often use FigJam for meetings, brainstorms, diagrams, planning, and research. In FigJam, you can use text, shapes, drawings, images, sticky notes, and other elements to visually represent ideas and jam on work together.
You can create a free account and use each product for as long as you like.
Working in Figma Design

You can create multiple pages within a design file, each with its own canvas.
- Add shapes, images, text, and other layers from the toolbar
- Select layers and assets from the navigation panel
- View or adjust properties in the properties panel
- Toggle rulers, guides, and the pixel grid for pixel-perfect precision
