How Do Figma Links Work?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 9:49 am

Figma is a vector graphics editor and design tool, created by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace. It is available as a web app and as a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux.

Figma is used by designers at companies like Google, Facebook, Netflix, and Uber.

Figma links allow you to share your designs with others, so they can view or edit them. To create a link, simply click the Share button in the top-right corner of the Figma interface.

Then, select the Get Link option from the drop-down menu. You can also choose to share your design with specific people by selecting the Share with Specific People option.

PRO TIP: Figma links can be a great way to share your work with others, but they can also be a source of confusion and frustration. Here are a few things to keep in mind when using Figma links:

1. Make sure you understand the link sharing settings for your project. By default, anyone with the link can view your project, but you can change this to allow only people with editing permissions to view or edit the project.

2. If you share a link with someone who doesn’t have a Figma account, they’ll be prompted to sign up for one in order to view your project.

3. Be aware that if you make changes to a project after sharing the link, those changes will be reflected for anyone who has the link. This includes adding or removing layers, changing colors, etc. So if you want to share a version of your project that won’t be changed, make sure to save it as a separate file first.

4. If you have any questions about how Figma links work, or encounter any problems while using them, don’t hesitate to reach out to our support team for help.

Once you’ve created a link, you can send it to anyone you want to view or edit your design. When they click on the link, they’ll be taken to a web page where they can view or make changes to your design. If you’ve shared your design with specific people, they’ll be able to see your design in their Figma account.

Figma links are a great way to share your designs with others. They’re easy to create and share, and they allow anyone you’ve shared them with to view or edit your designs. So if you’re working on a design project with someone else, be sure to use Figma links to make collaborating easy.

Figma links allow you and others to access and edit designs saved in Figma through a web browser. To create a link, click on the Share button in the top-right corner of the Figma interface and then select Get Link from the drop-down menu. You also have the option of sharing your design with specific people by selecting Share with Specific People.

Once you generate a link, you can send it via email or any other method of communication. The recipient will be taken to a web page where they can view or make changes to your design. If you shared your design with specific people only, they will need to log in to their Figma account to access it.
