Create a Community profile
Before you start
Who can use this feature
Available on any team or plan
Anyone with a Figma account can create a Community profile
If you’re interested in publishing resources to the Community, you’ll need to create a Community profile. A Community profile let you:
- Publish resources to the Community
- Save resources
- Comment on resources
- Like resources and follow creator profiles
You can create an individual Community profile for each of your Figma accounts, or connect a single profile to all of your accounts. Learn more about adding or removing profile connections →
If you are on the Organization or Enterprise plan, there are limitations on who can publish resources to the Community. Learn more about Community publishing permissions →
Note: If you’re a team or organization admin, you can create a Community profile for that team or organization. Learn more about creating and managing team or organization profiles →
Create your Community profile
Every Community profile has a unique profile handle, which is used to identify each creator in the Community.
You can use up to 15 alphanumeric characters in your profile handle, including underscores. If the handle is not available, you’ll be prompted to choose another. You can change your profile handle at any time.
Tip: In some cases, you may be able to claim a profile handle that’s in use on an inactive account. To inquire about claiming a handle, contact Figma Support.
Register or update your profile handle from your account settings:
- In the file browser, click your profile picture in the top-left corner.
- Select Settings from the account menu, and then select the Community tab.
- Click Claim your handle.
- Enter your desired handle in the field provided and click Create profile to confirm.
Customize your profile
After you’ve chosen your profile handle, you can customize your profile and add additional information to introduce yourself to the Community.
To access your Community profile:
- Open Figma in the file browser.
- Select your avatar in the top-left corner to open the account menu.

You’ll be redirected to the profile’s Community page where you can update the following information:
