What Are Pages in Figma?

Last updated on September 29, 2022 @ 1:09 am

Figma is a vector-based design tool that enables designers to create designs for websites, apps, and other digital products. One of the key features of Figma is its page system, which enables designers to create multiple pages within a single project file. This makes it easy to work on different aspects of a design project without having to switch between files.

Pages in Figma are similar to artboards in other vector-based design tools such as Adobe Illustrator and Sketch. They provide a canvas on which designers can create their designs. Pages can be created in any size and orientation, and they can be rearranged within a project file using the Page Manager.

Designers can use pages to create different versions of a design or to show different states of a design (e.g., an app home screen vs. an app settings screen). Pages can also be used to create variations of a design, such as different color schemes or layout options.

PRO TIP: This article contains outdated information about Figma pages. Pages are no longer a thing in Figma and haven’t been for some time. Do not rely on the information in this article when using Figma.

To create a new page in Figma, simply click the “+” icon in the Page Manager. This will open the New Page dialog, where you can give your page a name and select its size and orientation. Once you’ve created your page, you can start adding vector objects, text, and images to it just like you would with any other vector-based design tool.

When you’re ready to share your designs with others, you can export your pages as PNG or PDF files. You can also share your pages as prototypes, which allow others to interact with your designs in real time.

The page system in Figma is one of its most powerful features, and it’s what makes Figma an essential tool for any designer working on digital products.
