Can You Do Figma on an iPad?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 10:16 pm

Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – the first of its kind built entirely in the browser. It’s a great tool for designing user interfaces and web applications, and with its growing popularity, more and more people are wondering if it’s possible to use Figma on an iPad.

The answer is yes! While Figma isn’t currently available as a native app for iPad, there is a workaround that lets you use the web app on your tablet. Here’s how to do it:

1. Download the Figma Mirror app from the App Store. This app lets you view your Figma designs on your iPad.

2. Install the Figma Mirror app on your iPad and launch it.

3.

Go to figma.com in Safari and sign in to your account.

4. Tap the Share button in the top-right corner of the screen and choose Add to Home Screen from the menu that appears.

5. Type a name for the shortcut (we recommend something like “Figma”), then tap Add in the top-right corner of the screen.

6. Open the Shortcuts app on your iPad and tap the Figma shortcut to launch the web app.

7. That’s it! You can now use Figma on your iPad just like you would on your computer.

Can You Do Figma on an iPad?

Yes, you can use Figma on an iPad by following the steps above.

PRO TIP: Figma is a design tool that is primarily used on desktop computers. While it is possible to use Figma on an iPad, the experience may be less than ideal. Figma is not designed for use on mobile devices, and as such, there may be some features that are not available or do not work properly on an iPad.
