    Our vision is to make design accessible to all. To help advance this, we’ve developed the Figma Community to enable people from around the world to share and discover creative work. Please help us build a high-quality, inclusive community by ensuring your work follows these Community Guidelines and reporting any violations.

    By publishing resources, you agree to these Community Guidelines, as well as our existing terms of service. We’re committed to these Community Guidelines, and we hope you are too. This is a living document and will change over time. You can see when these Community Guidelines were last revised by referring to the “Last Updated” legend above. Your continued use of the Figma Community will indicate your acceptance of the changes. 

    Figma reserves the right to remove a resource at any time. Overstepping any of the following boundaries may result in removed content, disabled accounts, or other restrictions.

    Community Guidelines

    I will respect the intellectual property rights of others

    The Figma Community is a place to share your own work with other Figma users. 

    1. As always, you retain your ownership rights in the content you post on the Figma Community
    2. We believe that allowing others to use work with attribution can be an effective marketing tool for publishers. All work will be published and available to the community under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0). 
    3. When using work from the Figma Community, please follow the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license (CC BY 4.0) license. 
    4. Please do not upload other people's work to your own profile or create confusion about who originally authored any work. (See Section 7 too!)
    5. Please do not duplicate another user’s work and republish to the Community without meaningful modification or alteration. Remixing and publishing the work of others in the Community is permitted but only with meaningful modification or alteration by you, as well as attribution.

    7. Please visit Figma’s copyright and IP policy for more information about this topic.

    If you notice any content that violates the above guidelines, please report it to us at content-reviews@figma.com 

    I will not post spam

    Please do not use the ability to create a profile or publish content to spam Figma users. This Figma Community is meant to be a platform for Figma users to learn and share ideas and resources with one another. Content that we deem spammy will be removed.

    1. Do not post advertisements; and
    2. Do not link to spammy websites 

    I will not violate someone’s privacy

    We want everyone to feel safe and comfortable participating in the Figma Community. Please ensure that your published content does not contain someone else’s personal information.

    Please do not post content that has someone else’s:

    1. Phone number
    2. Private email addresses
    3. Physical addresses
    4. Credit card/social security info
    5. Passwords

    I will give credit for inspiration

    Creating work inspired by someone or something else is natural and expected. Please make sure to give credit when posting content that is inspired by another member’s work. And please remember, attribution is a requirement of the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International license ( CC BY 4.0), which governs the work made available through the Figma Community.

    If you believe your work has been posted to the Figma Community without your consent, please review our copyright and IP policy.

    Please do not duplicate another user’s work and republish to the Community without meaningful modification or alteration. Remixing and publishing the work of others in the Community is permitted but only with meaningful modification or alteration by you, as well as attribution. 

    I will not impersonate someone else

    The community allows you to create a profile and establish your identity as a creator. To maintain trust and authenticity, we will disable accounts that attempt to impersonate another person or entity.

    Please do not:

    1. Impersonate another individual or company;
    2. Intentionally use a deceptively similar username or avatar;
    3. Post misleading or false employment information; or
    4. Falsely attribute someone else's work.

    I will comply with Figma’s Trademark Guidelines

    The Figma marks are the words, logos, graphics, designs, and other indicators that identify Figma as the source of a product or service. For instance, the wordmark “Figma,” our black and white logo, and our colored logo are a few of our most important assets.

    You may use Figma’s marks in connection with your design file, plugin, widget, or other Figma Community resource only if you comply with Figma’s Trademark Guidelines, available here: https://www.figma.com/using-the-figma-brand/.

    If we ask you to stop using Figma’s name or mark, you must immediately comply with the request.

    Report a violation

    Help us keep the Figma Community strong and protect our users’ integrity and safety.

    Each of us is an important part of the Figma Community. If you see something that you think may violate our guidelines, please help us by flagging the resource as inappropriate or writing to us at content-reviews@figma.com.

    When you complete the report, try to provide as much information as possible - such as links, usernames, and descriptions of the content - so we can find and review it quickly. We may remove entire posts if either the imagery or associated captions violate our guidelines.

    Many disputes and misunderstandings can be resolved directly between Figma users. If one of your creations was posted by someone else, you could try contacting the violator directly and ask for the content to be taken down. If that doesn’t work, you can file a copyright report.

    We may work with law enforcement, including when we believe that there’s a risk of physical harm or threat to public safety.
