Explore the Figma Community

You can find Figma Community resources by going to figma.com/community or you can access it directly from the Community page in the file browser.

Tip: Accessing Community resources from the file browser gives you more personalized recommendations based on your selected role in your account settings.

You can find resources by browsing through feature categories. You can also search for specific resources and creators by name, tags, or profile handle (for example, @learn). Enter your search term in the Search field at the top of the screen and press Enter.

You can quickly filter search results by Files and templates, Plugins, Widgets, Apps, or Creators. The count next to each option lets you know how many results there are for each resource. You can further narrow down the results using the additional filter options.

Admins on an Organization or Enterprise plan have the ability to manage access to Community resources from the file browser. If you don’t see anything within the Community page in the file browser, your admin may have turned it off.

Team and organization admins can also browse the Community as an admin. This allows you to manage resources on the team or organization's profile, as well as manage plugins across the organization. Access Community as an admin →

Design resources and whiteboarding

Design resources are snapshots of Figma or FigJam files that have been published to the Community. Anyone with a Figma account can duplicate Community files.

Explore FigJam and Figma Design files, find useful resources like kits and collections of icons, interact with prototypes, and view relevant information from the file page.

Presentations

Under Presentations, find slide deck templates contain pre-configured styles, colors, and slide layouts, and are intended to be used with Figma Slides. Anyone with a Figma account can duplicate slide deck templates.

Extensions

The Extensions section of the Figma Community contains plugins, widgets, and apps. Extensions provide various ways to interact with Figma inside and outside of the products. Plugins enhance actions and workflows inside of Figma files. Widgets enable multiplayer activities on the canvas. Apps let you interact with Figma files and content on other platforms.

Plugins

Plugins are third-party scripts or applications that extend the functionality of Figma's products. Use plugins to customize your experience or create more efficient workflows in Figma Design, Dev Mode, FigJam, and Figma Slides. Anyone with can edit access can run a plugin in a file. Plugins are only visible to the person who ran it and cannot be interacted with by other users in the same file.

Creators can choose to include a playground file when publishing a plugin. Playground files provide additional context on how and when to use the plugin.

Widgets

Widgets are custom objects you can add to the Figma editor or FigJam board. Use widgets to level up your collaboration sessions with different tools, data from external applications. Anyone with can edit access can add a widget to a file or interact with widgets added by other users. Unlike plugins which are only visible to individuals, widgets are objects that everyone in the file can see.

Creators can choose to include a playground file when publishing a widget. Playground files provide additional context on how and when to use the widget.

Apps

Apps are third-party platforms where you can interact with Figma files, such as connecting to Figma designs and components, adding Figma files as resources to documents and presentations, applying your design systems to code, and more. Apps require you to authenticate your Figma account on the platforms you're using. The exact set of permissions you grant to your account will vary based on the app and will be listed when you authenticate. Requested permissions are also visible on the Community page for the app.

Unlike other resources in the Community, Community pages for apps don't include playground files. This is because apps are for integrating with Figma on third-party platforms, rather than working inside Figma products.

Resource Community pages

Once you’ve found a resource that interests you, click on the listing to view its Community page. The Community page is where you can read the resource’s description, like and save resources, view comments left by the creator or other Community members, and get the creator’s contact information for support with using the resource.

Usage metrics

When viewing a resource's Community page, you may notice two numbers next to the creator's name. The number next to the heart icon indicates how many users have liked the resource. The other number indicates how many people have used the plugin or widget, duplicated the file, or authenticated the app.

Note: On paid resources, this metric includes the total number of people who have previewed or purchased the resource.

Community profiles

Community profiles showcase contributions to the Figma community. You’ll need a Community profile to follow other creators, view your saved resources on Community, or leave comments and reviews.

You can create Community profiles for individuals, teams, or organizations. Create profiles for each of your accounts or use one profile across all of your Figma accounts.
