Use themes to change the appearance of Figma design files and the file browser. Choose between light or dark themes, or let your system settings determine the theme. If your system’s appearance is set to light, then Figma will use the light theme. If your system is set to dark, then Figma will use the dark theme.
Change theme
Change your theme from a Figma design file via the main menu or quick actions menu.
Theme settings are device-specific. If you're using a Figma account across multiple devices, theme settings from one device won't carry over to another.
Changing your theme also won’t affect appearance settings for others, even if you’re viewing the same file.
When you create new files, Figma sets the background color to light or dark color depending on your current theme. While in light mode, newly created files default to a light-gray background color #F5F5F5. While in dark mode, they’ll default to an off-black color #1E1E1E.
Note: New pages determine their background color based on the current page’s background color, and don’t rely on your current theme. Change a background color by de-selecting any layers and using the color picker from the Background section of the right sidebar.
Main menu
To change your theme from the main menu of a Figma design file:
Open any Figma design file you have access to.
Click in the top-left of the toolbar.
Go to Preferences > Theme.
Select an option from the list of themes.
Your Figma design file and the file browser will immediately change to the selected theme.
Quick actions
To change your theme from the quick actions menu of a Figma design file:
Open any Figma design file you have access to.

Click Change languages.
Choose your preferred language in the Change languages modal.
Click Save.
Figma refreshes the current tab and displays the chosen language. You must manually refresh any other open tabs to see the change.
Figma’s keyboard shortcuts were originally based on the layout of QWERTY keyboards. As Figma continues to grow and evolve, so too does our community.
We recognize that some of these shortcuts aren’t available for people with keyboards in other languages and layouts. This is something we're improving!
In May 2022, we announced our first round of improvements in this area. Remapped shortcuts for the following shortcuts:
German (QWERTZ)
French (AZERTY)
Japanese (Kana)
As of July 2022, we now also have limited betas for the following keyboard layouts:
British English (UK)
Swedish / Finnish
Danish
Norwegian
Italian
Spanish (Spain)
Spanish (Latin America)
As part of this beta experience, you’ll be able to set your keyboard layout in your preferences. This allows you to use shortcuts in Figma that are mapped to your specific keyboard layout.
If you want to join one of these betas, or suggest another keyboard layout, please register your interest. If you’ve already joined a beta, learn how to use this feature below.
Limited betas are public beta programs with a limited number of participants. By joining a beta, you’ll get access to new features before the rest of the Figma community. You’ll be able to give feedback and shape the success of the feature. Figma beta features →
Select keyboard layout

Private plugins (organizations only)
As you type your search keywords, Figma looks for matches with resource names, and displays a preview of your search results.
Figma also looks for matches from the text within Figma design files and FigJam files. In FigJam, this includes text from stickies and shapes.
This article covers how to search for the above resources from the file browser. It also covers how to narrow those search results. Here are some other ways to search in Figma:
From the file browser, click the search bar, or press:
macOS: ⌘ Command/
Windows: Control/
The search bar focuses and a search preview appears with a list of recently opened files.
Type your search term. As you type, the preview updates with matching results, sectioned off by resource type (files, projects, people, and so on).
From there, you can:
See a full list of search results. Click See all search results at the bottom of the preview, or pressenter/return.
Open a resource by clicking on it. Or, use the↑ and ↓ arrow keys to navigate search preview results, then press enter/return to open it.
Right-click a resource for additional options, such as open in new tab, copy link to the resource, and more
Exit out of the search preview. Click anywhere outside the search area, or pressesc.
From the search results page, you can narrow your results further to find what you need. Learn how to narrow your results ↓.
Note: Figma shows only results from the current space you are in. Accounts, organizations, and external teams are separate spaces, so you won’t be able to search a different space from the one you’re currently in.
If an expected result isn’t appearing, it’s possible that you don’t have access to the resource. It's also possible that the file was created or updated recently. Search results are indexed periodically. If you have access to the resource, wait a few moments and try again.
Narrow your results
From the search results page, you can narrow your search further in the following ways:
Resource type
Click on a resource type narrow down your results. These include:
If someone has invited you to a file, project, or team you can create a Figma account to start collaborating.

Figma is designed for the browser, and real-time collaboration is at the heart of what we do. We don't currently have plans to support a fully-featured offline mode.
We've put together a non-exhaustive list of which features and functions are available when you're offline.
Available offline
Create layers, including frames, basic shapes, boolean operations, and vector networks.
Create and use components that are local to your file.
Make changes to layer properties, including fill, stroke, dimensions, position, layer order etc.
Run plugins that don't rely on external browser APIs. You will only be able to use plugins that you have already installed.
Save your files to your computer in .fig format. This will save a copy of the file as it currently exists, and doesn't include any comments or version history.
Not available offline
Access or browse the Figma file browser.
Create new files, or open files that you don't already have open.
Receive updates from other collaborators on files you have open.
Search for components from libraries or insert instances from a library.
Install new plugins, or run plugins that require external browser APIs.
View a file's version history, or create new versions to save your changes to Figma.
Use any multiplayer features, like seeing who is active in the file, observation mode, and multiplayer cursors.
Note: You can save a copy of your file locally, as a .fig. This is a snapshot of the current file, and doesn't include any version history or comments. When you import the .fig into Figma, Figma will treat this as a new file. For this reason, we only recommend using this approach as a last resort.
Figma autosave
Caution: Autosave is a safeguard in the event that something goes wrong, it's not a fully-featured offline mode. It significantly reduces the possibility of data loss, especially in the following circumstances:
You have an unreliable internet connection, or unexpectedly lose your connection.
There is a crash from either Figma, your browser, or your operating system.
A browser error, machine restart, or power loss causes you to lose access to Figma.
If you lose internet connectivity and continue to make changes to your work, Figma will save any changes you make in your browser. This applies even if you close the tab or browser, or shut down your device entirely.
When your connection to Figma is restored, Figma will apply any changes you made to your file(s) while offline. If you've closed the affected files, you will need to reopen them to sync any offline changes.
Autosave works even if there's more than one person working offline in the same file. Figma will prompt you to sync the file when you're back online.
The same applies if you're working across multiple tabs. Figma will save pending changes in each tab, then merge them when you're back online.
Figma only saves the changes you make to your file, not the entire file. These changes are saved locally to your browser's IndexedDB, and can't be accessed from another computer or device.
Figma in the browser
If you try to close a tab or browser window with offline changes, you may get an alert from your browser. Unfortunately, Figma isn't able to control the message included in this dialog.
Figma will store your offline changes, even if you receive a "Changes you made may not be saved" message from your browser.
Figma desktop app
Figma will give you the option to discard your changes if your try to close a tab, quit Figma, or log out of your account.
If you choose to Log out or Leave, Figma will save your offline changes in the browser. You can then open any affected files to allow Figma to sync your offline changes.
If you choose to Discard or Discard and log out, Figma will clear any offline changes it stored in the browser. This action can't be undone and you won't be able to retrieve those changes in the future.
Offline changes not saved
There are a few scenarios where your changes won't be saved:
You're using an unsupported browser, or version of a browser.
Your cache or browsing data was cleared before you reconnected to Figma.
Your browser was in private browsing or incognito mode. Or you used a shared computer or guest account, which automatically cleared browsing data.
The browser's storage quota is already full and there's no room for Figma to save these changes.
A browser extension prevented Figma from saving data in the browser.
You made changes on a different browser than the one you reconnected to Figma on.
Which browser you are using will determine how long these changes will be saved in the browser. Most browsers allow Figma to store data for up to 30 days, while others store data for a shorter time. Supported browsers and timeframes are as follows:
Figma saves any offline changes to your file(s) when your connection is restored. If you already have your file(s) open, Figma will apply your offline changes when you reload the tab.
If you open Figma in the file browser first, you'll see a blue notification at the bottom of your screen. You'll also see an unsynced changes icon on any files with offline changes.
Click Tap to review on the banner to open the offline changes modal.
Figma will show you a list of any files with offline changes. Click Open to sync to open the file a new tab.
File will load the file and apply any changes you made while you're offline. You'll see a notification to confirm your changes have been saved.
Return to the file browser and repeat the process for any other affected files.
Note: Figma only stores offline changes for up to 30 days, or 7 days for Safari users. If you try to sync older offline changes, Figma will let you know your changes can't be synced.
Version history
As part of the autosave process, Figma will add two checkpoints to the file's version history. One before applying your offline changes, and one after. These checkpoints will look like other autosaved versions.
If you're working on a file with others, there may be some differences between the latest version of the file and your offline changes.
Figma will let you know if there are any conflicting changes via a notification. Click Review to open the file's version history, or Dismiss to ignore.
If something was synced incorrectly, or you don't want to keep the offline changes, you can restore a previous version of the file in the file's version history. Learn how to view and manage version history →
Clear autosave data
Clear your cache or browsing data to remove any offline changes from Figma. This applies to both Figma in the browser and the Figma Desktop app.
Caution: This will delete any offline changes and prevent you from saving them to Figma. Once you have cleared your browsing history, you will not be able to retrieved any unsaved changes.
Mozilla Firefox: lets you choose which websites you want to delete data from. You can use this feature to remove data from just Figma: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/storage
Even though the Figma desktop app is technically a browser application, the process is a little different. Clearing your cache on the Figma desktop app involves interacting with the Mac Terminal app, or the Windows command line.
Mac
Use the Terminal app to clear the cache.
Quit the Figma desktop app.
Open the Terminal.app and enter the following command:
rm -rf "$HOME/Library/Application Support/Figma/"{Desktop,DesktopProfile}
Try opening the Figma desktop app again.
Windows
Run a command line from the Start menu.
Close the Figma desktop app.
Open the Start menu and paste the %APPDATA%\\Figma command. Press the Enter key to submit.
The file browser is what we call the parts of Figma outside of Figma design or FigJam files. This is how you explore and access drafts, teams, and resources in your account.
Figma opens this view when you visit figma.com or open your account in the desktop app.
The navigation bar at the top of the page allows you to access any account-level actions.
On the left side of the page is the sidebar. This provides the main method for navigating your accounts.
Figma will display everything else—your files, teams, and projects—in the main body of the page.
The navigation bar at the top of the workspace allows you to access any account-level actions.
Note: If you're using the Figma desktop app, you can navigate between the file browser and any files you're viewing. Click to open the file browser for the current workspace. When you're viewing the Community, you can navigate back and forward using the arrow keys.
A
View the name and avatar of the account. Click to access the Community and any accounts or organizations you have access to. Switch between accounts →
B
search for resources across your teams and files. Figma groups results by resource type, click to view results for each type of resource.
Files: find files in your drafts, shared projects, and any teams.
Projects: find shared projects you have access to or team projects.
Log out: Select an email address to log out of a specific account, or Log out of all accounts.
Sidebar
Recents
Select Recent in the left sidebar to view and access files and prototypes you've recently viewed or edited from this account.
This includes files and prototypes from your drafts, team files, and any other shared files you've opened. It's not possible to view recent files across multiple Figma accounts.
Figma lists files and prototypes separately, you can use the tile icon to identify files from prototypes:
Design files
FigJam files
Library files
Prototypes
There are extra file actions ↓ available from the recent space. Right-click on the file to view the file actions.
Show in project: open the project page where the file is located. Figma will open that project page in the file browser.
Remove from recent: remove the file or prototype from your recents. This won't delete the file, you can still access the file from the team/project where it's located.
Want to leave the file completely? If components from that file are still showing up in the assets panel of your other files, you can leave the file. Learn how to remove your access to a library →
Drafts
Access both your drafts and any deleted files from your Drafts. Use the tabs at the top of the page to switch between them.
Drafts
Every Figma account comes with its own drafts. You can think of your Drafts like a sketchbook or notebook. It's a place where you can jot down your ideas and experiment with different concepts.
Drafts are separate from any teams or projects. Any files you create here are your own. There are no limits in the drafts folder, so create as many files as you like!
The Deleted files folder is an archive of any files you have access to that have been deleted. This includes files that you deleted yourself and files others deleted.
You can use the Created by to filter your results. Choose to view files created by: Anyone, You, or Others.
Figma will keep files in the deleted files folder indefinitely. It's not possible to open a deleted file, but depending on your access to the original file, there are some actions you can take.
Find any files or projects collaborators have shared with you in your Shared files or Shared projects. This includes:
Drafts that another collaborator has invited you to.
External projects that another collaborator has shared with you.
Tip! Use the sort filter in the top-right corner to change the order that files appear.
Teams
Figma adds every team you are a member of to the file browser. This allows you to access those teams from the sidebar. Figma shows projects you've favorited under the team name.
Click on the team name to open the workspace for that team, where you can manage projects, members, settings, and billing.
Tip! You can choose the order your teams appear! Click on the team name and drag it up or down. A black line will show where you can move the Team. Release to confirm the new location.
View files
You can choose how you want to view files for each page in the file browser. In the top-right corner of the file browser, use the Grid and List icons to switch between views.
Grid view (default)
In grid view, the file thumbnail takes center stage, which makes it easier for you to quickly identify a file by its contents. This is the default view in the file browser.
You'll have access to more contextual information in grid view:
Avatars of any collaborators who are active in the file.
Which project the file is located in (Recents only).
List view
List view is a pared back view, which lets you see some basic information about each file. This allows you to quickly find files based on their name and the date they were Last modified.
Delete: remove the file from its current location and add it to the deleted files (for all collaborators) Delete and recover files →
Caution: Deleting a file will remove the file for all collaborators, not just yourself. To remove a file from your file browser for just yourself, we recommend you leave the file instead.
View internal profiles
Every member of a team or organization has an internal profile. Internal profiles let other members of your team or organization know what teams, files, and projects you're working on.
Name, profile picture, and description
A list of teams of which they're a member
The name(s) of any recent projects they have worked on.
A list of files they have contributed to recently, including edits and comments. Figma will show the file name, thumbnail, project, and date of last activity for each file.
View your own profile
View your internal profile from your Figma account.
Click your profile picture in the file browser to open the account menu.
Select Internal profile from the list.
Note: You'll be able to see all the files that you are working on here, including your drafts. Other collaborators can only see files they have access to.
View someone else's profile
Click on a collaborator's profile picture to view their profile:
From the toolbar when a member is active in a file or prototype. Hover over their profile picture and click View profile.
On the file card in the file browser when they're active in a file
From the Contributors section on any project page
From the Members preview in the team workspace
From the Admin list when viewing teams in an organization
Figma will only show you resources you have access to. This won't include files in a person's drafts, or files in closed or secret teams in an Organization, unless you have access to those resources.
Tip! You can also view their internal profile via URL. They will need to share this with you, by copying it from the browser address bar.
For live device previewing, you can also download the Figma mobile app, which is available on both iOS and Android devices.
Having trouble? Try updating to the latest version of your browser - we recommend enabling automatic updates to keep things up-to-date!
Browsers and operating systems
Figma uses WebGL (Web Graphics Library) to handle rendering. This has very low graphical requirements which means it runs well on most browsers.
The minimum browser requirements are:
Chrome 64+
Firefox 78+
Safari 13+
Microsoft Edge 79+
Note: To use Figma on Microsoft Edge, you'll need to make sure the Strict mode privacy setting is disabled for Figma.com. Visit Microsoft's help center for information.
The minimum operating system (OS) requirements are:
Windows 8.1 or later
Apple MacOS 10.12 (macOS Sierra) and later
Any Linux OS that supports the browsers mentioned above
Any Chrome OS that supports the browsers mentioned above
Tip! You can find out what browser and operating system version you're using via What's my Browser.
Graphics cards
On Windows and Linux, OS and device driver updates are often required to keep performance optimal. On MacOS (Apple), any OS releases will update Safari and provide any bug fixes related to WebGL.
While Figma doesn’t restrict the use of specific graphics cards, individual browser support may prevent you from using Figma on a specific browser. We recommend using the minimum operating system requirements as a guide instead.
Integrated and dedicated graphics cards
Some newer laptops will have both a dedicated card (Nvidia or AMD) and an integrated graphical processor (Intel or AMD).
If you have a dual-GPU laptop, you can choose to use the dedicated GPU over the integrated GPU. This will result in improved performance in Figma, but will increase your battery consumption.
Figma is unable to provide support or troubleshooting around dedicated graphics cards. For help with using a dedicated GPU, we recommend the following resources:
MacOS: Apple provides the following information around using a dedicated GPU:
Other Figma users have had success with gfxcardstatus app, which allows you to switch between dedicated and integrated GPU. gfxCardStatus card is not endorsed by Figma.
Windows(Nvidia): In the Nvidia control panel set chrome.exe to use discrete graphics card.
Windows (AMD): In the AMD control panel set chrome.exe to use discrete graphics card.
Unsupported graphics cards
The following GPUs have known bugs and may cause rendering glitches when using Figma. Behavior with these GPUs may vary from browser to browser:
Intel HD Graphics 3000
Mobile requirements
Figma relies on web technologies that aren't fully supported on mobile operating systems. We recommend using Figma on devices that offer a full desktop operating system. This includes MacOS, Windows and ChromeOS.
If you are using a mobile device, then you can access a View Only version of your Figma Files. This applies to iPads, tablets or mobile devices running mobile operating systems e.g. iOS.
Tablets that run a full desktop OS, like the Microsoft Surface, don't have the same limitations.
You will also be able to view prototypes on a mobile browser. To do so, you can open a prototyping link on your mobile device. Keep in mind that the browser address bar may obstruct or prevent some actions.
The minimum requirements to view Figma Files on mobile browsers are:
Safari on iOS 11.4+
Chrome on Android 7.0 - 9.0
Tip! For live device previewing, we recommend downloading the Figma mobile app. The Figma mobile app is available on both iOS and Android devices. Learn more about the Figma mobile app.
You can use Figma on Chrome, Safari, Microsoft Edge and Firefox
