  Before you start

  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.

  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.

  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.

• General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR)

  The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), is a European privacy law approved by the European Commission in 2016 that will go into effect May 25th 2018.

  The GDPR will replace a prior European Union (EU) privacy directive known as Directive 95/46/EC which has been the basis of European data protection law since 1995.

  In a nutshell, GDPR gives EU citizens and residents control over their personal data while simplifying the regulatory environment for international business that takes place in the EU.

  Why is it important?

  GDPR adds some new requirements regarding how companies should protect individuals' personal data that they collect and process.

  It also raises the stakes for compliance by increasing enforcement and imposing greater fines for breach. Beyond these facts, it's simply the right thing to do.
