What Is Figma and How It Works?

Last updated on November 24, 2022 @ 12:07 pm

Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – the first interface design tool with real-time collaboration. It’s what we use here at UXfolio to design high-fidelity prototypes for our users. In this article, we’ll give you a quick introduction to Figma and how it works.

What is Figma?

Figma is a vector graphics editor that lets you create designs for web, mobile, and product interfaces. It’s similar to other design tools like Sketch and Adobe XD, but with one key difference: Figma supports real-time collaboration. That means multiple people can work on the same file at the same time, and see each other’s changes in real time.

How does Figma work?

Figma is web-based, which means you can access it from any computer with an internet connection. All you need to do is create a free account at figma.com.

PRO TIP: This article may contain outdated information. Figma is constantly evolving and adding new features, so some of the information in this article may be out of date.

Once you’re logged in, you can create a new file or open an existing one. To start designing, simply click on the element you want to add (e.g. a rectangle or text box) and drag it onto the canvas.

You can then edit the properties of that element (e. color, size, etc.) in the right-hand panel.

If you’re working on a team project, you can invite others to collaborate with you in real time. Just click the “Share” button in the top-right corner of the screen and enter their email address. They’ll then receive an invitation to view or edit the file.
