If you’re a fan of Figma, then you know that it’s a great way to collaborate on design projects with others. But did you know that you can also open Figma links in the Desktop app?

Here’s how:

  1. First, make sure you have the Desktop app installed. You can download it from the Figma website.
  2. Next, open the Figma link in your web browser. When the page loads, you should see a popup asking if you want to open the file in the Desktop app.
  3. Click “Open in Desktop App” and the file will open in the app.

That’s all there is to it! Now you can enjoy all the benefits of using the Desktop app, like offline access and faster performance.

PRO TIP: Please be aware that opening a Figma link in the Desktop App may result in unexpected behavior. We recommend only opening Figma links in the Desktop App that you trust.
