Basic Troubleshooting

We recommend you check the following things:

✅ You have a reliable and stable internet connection

Figma requires access to a reliable and stable internet connection. Figma does not currently support offline move.

If your connection is unreliable, or you experience periods of limited bandwidth, your performance will be impacted. Some things you may experience are:

Files loading slowly
Seeing low-resolution versions of your images
Reduced performance when panning and zooming in the Canvas

We're actively working on improving the Figma experience for low-bandwidth connections. Let us know by reaching out to the Support Team or Submit a bug report.

✅ You're running the latest version of your preferred browser

Figma doesn't support developer or beta versions of browsers. We only support stable release versions of Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

✅ You have WebGL enabled

Figma is built using WebGL. You will need to have this enabled to use Figma. You can check if your browser has this installed and enabled, by visiting this website: https://webglreport.com/

Learn more in our Configure your browser for Figma article.

✅ You are running a 64-bit version of Windows

You must be running the Figma Desktop app in a 64-bit environment. Figma is not supported on machines running a 32-bit environment.

✅ You have enough available memory

There is currently an active memory limit of 2GB on Files. If you are working with large Files in Figma, then you may run into some issues with memory. When your File reaches the active memory limit we will display an error message on screen.

🚫 You aren't using Figma behind a Firewall or Proxy

If you're using the Desktop App behind a Firewall, proxy or Virtual Private Network (VPN), you may see the error message: Connection Error (407).
