What Browser Does Figma Work Best In?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:06 pm

Figma is a vector graphics editor and design tool, primarily aimed at UI design and prototyping. It is available as a desktop app and a web app.

The Figma web app runs in any modern browser, but the desktop app only works on macOS and Windows. In this article, we’ll take a look at which browser works best with Figma.

Figma is primarily a web-based application, so it should come as no surprise that it works best in a modern web browser. All the major browsers – Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari – are supported by Figma. However, there are some differences in how well Figma performs in each browser.

In general, Figma runs best in Google Chrome. Chrome is the most popular browser in the world, and it’s also the one that Figma’s developers recommend using.

Figma is built using web technologies such as HTML5 and JavaScript, both of which are very well supported by Chrome. Chrome also has excellent performance when it comes to rendering vector graphics.

PRO TIP: There is no definitive answer to this question as different browsers work differently with Figma. It is recommended that you try out different browsers to see which one works best for you.

Mozilla Firefox is another good choice for running Figma. Firefox has good support for web technologies and performs well when rendering vector graphics. However, it isn’t quite as fast as Chrome when it comes to performance.

Microsoft Edge is a decent choice for running Figma, but it isn’t as good as either Chrome or Firefox. Edge doesn’t have as good support for web technologies as the other two browsers, and it isn’t as fast when it comes to performance. However, it does have one advantage: if you’re using Windows 10, Edge can integrate with the operating system’s touch input features.

Apple Safari is the only option if you’re using a Mac, but it’s not a bad choice. Safari has good support for web technologies and performs reasonably well when rendering vector graphics. However, it isn’t as fast as either Chrome or Firefox.

Conclusion:

In general, Figma works best in Google Chrome. Chrome is the most popular browser in the world and it’s also the one that Figma’s developers recommend using.
