Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool which is primarily web-based, with additional offline features enabled by the desktop app. It is used by designers to create vector illustrations, user interfaces, and to prototype user flows.
Figma has a growing library of built-in elements which can be dragged-and-dropped into place, and customized to fit the needs of the design. These elements can be combined to create complex designs, or used as a starting point for something more unique.
In addition to the growing library of elements, Figma also offers a range of features which make it easy to create responsive designs, animations, and micro-interactions. Figma is also closely integrated with other tools in the design ecosystem, such as Zeplin and Abstract.
What Can You Design With Figma?
You can use Figma to design pretty much anything that can be created with vector graphics. This includes illustrations, user interfaces, icons, typography, and complex layouts. Figma is also a great tool for prototyping interactions and flows.
Figma is constantly expanding its capabilities, so even if something can’t be designed in Figma today, there’s a good chance it will be possible in the future.
