  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan

  Your name and avatar make up your identity in Figma. Figma uses your name and avatar to identify you in any files, projects, teams, or organizations you interact with. They also appear in the Figma Community, FigJam sticky notes (name only), and FigJam stamps (avatar only).

  When you view a file or prototype, Figma adds your avatar to the toolbar and your name on your multiplayer cursor. This allows everyone to see who is currently accessing the file.

  Supported image formats include JPEG, PNG, GIF, BMP, and SVG. GIFs will be converted into a static image.

  Note: Image files must be a minimum of 500x500px when uploading for avatars. This reduces blurriness, so that a clear avatar can be used across Figma and FigJam.

  2. Select Settings to open the settings modal.
  3. Select the Account tab.

  There are three ways to register or authenticate your account in Figma: email address and unique password, Google SSO, and SAML SSO. Your signup method will dictate whether you can update your email address and password in Figma.

  Email address and password

  Google SSO

  When you sign up for Figma via Google SSO, your email address and password will be Managed by Google. This means that you won't be able to update your email address or password in Figma.

  If you want to change your Google email address or password, you will need to do this in your Google account. For detailed instructions, follow the Google Support links below:

  • Change or reset your password by Google Support.
  • Change your username or email address by Google Support.

  Switch from Google SSO to email and password

  If your email address and password are Managed by Google, you can't update them in Figma. If you want to change the email associated with your account, you'll need to remove Google SSO. 

  To remove Google SSO, you need to request and set a new account password. This allows you log in with your email address and unique password. Once updated, you can change the email to any address.

  We recommend contacting your IT department, or an organization admin, for help updating your email address or password there. You can still update your name and profile picture in Figma.

  • 2FA (Windows phone)

  You need to choose your authentication method as part of the setup process. We recommend installing any authentication apps before you start.

  Two-factor authentication must be set up on each Figma account individually. There isn't currently a way to enable or enforce two-factor authentication across a team or organization.

  Note: If you login to Figma via Google SSO or SAML SSO, you won't be able to enable two-factor in Figma. You will need to enable two-factor or multi-factor authentication with your identity provider instead.

  Before you delete your account

  There are a few things you need to do before deleting your Figma account.

  1. A

     Cancel subscriptions

     Figma doesn't cancel subscriptions when deleting an account. If you have a paid plan, you'll need to cancel your Professional subscription before you can delete your account.

     We recommend downloading your Figma invoices so you have a copy of these for accounting purposes.

  2. B

     Export designs

     Figma uses proprietary file formats (.fig and .jam), which can only be opened in Figma. If you have files and assets that you'd like to keep, you can export these from Figma.

     If you're moving to another design tool, you may be able to copy and paste the contents of your files between tools.

     • Export assets from Figma →
     • Export from FigJam →
  3. C

     Transfer ownership

     If you are the owner of any teams or projects, you need to transfer ownership of these resources before you delete. If you don't transfer ownership, Figma will delete these files for you and any collaborators.

     If you want to keep any files in your drafts, you will need to move and transfer ownership of those files to someone else.

     If you want to permanently delete any files that were in your account, you need to delete these files before deleting your account.

     • Transfer ownership of a team →
     • Transfer ownership of a project →
