  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.

  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.

  3. Select the Account tab.

• Delete your Figma account

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on any team or plan

  Are you part of an organization? An organization admin will need to remove you from the organization.

  Account deletion checklist

  Before you delete your Figma account there are a few things you must do:

  Cancel your subscriptions

  Your subscriptions are not automatically canceled when you delete your account. If you are on a paid Professional plan, you must cancel your subscription before you can delete your account.

  If you are paying for a team with other active users, you can update the billing information for the team or downgrade to the free Starter plan so your collaborators don’t lose access.

  We also recommend that you download your Figma invoices to retain a copy for accounting purposes as these won’t be accessible after deleting your account.

  Export your designs

  Figma uses proprietary file formats (.fig and .jam), which can only be opened in Figma or FigJam. If you think you’ll use Figma again in the future, you can save copies of your files in these formats. If you’re planning to move content to another tool, you can export it in a variety of file formats:

  • Export from Figma
  • Export from FigJam

  Transfer ownership

  If you are the owner of any teams, projects, or files within teams or projects, we recommend that you transfer ownership before deleting your account.

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

  If you delete your account before transferring ownership, the following occurs:

  • Teams you own: The team becomes ownerless. The projects and files inside ownerless teams are still accessible by editors and viewers in the team. Organization and workspace admins can claim ownership of ownerless teams.
  • Projects you own: The project becomes ownerless. The project and files in it are still accessible by editors and viewers. Team owners and admins can claim ownership of ownerless projects.
  • Files you own in teams or projects: The file becomes ownerless. Ownerless files cannot be claimed but are still accessible by editors and viewers. If the file only has can view access set, team owners and admins can join the file as an editor and grant can edit access to other users.
  • Files in your drafts: Files in your drafts are permanently deleted. This process cannot be reversed. To prevent this, move the file and transfer ownership to another user.

  If you want to permanently delete any files outside of your drafts, you can manually delete these files before deleting your account.

  Delete your account

  You can delete your account from your account settings.

  1. From the file browser, click your profile in the top-right to open the account menu.
  2. Select Settings.
