Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – the first interface design tool with real-time collaboration. It’s built upon the idea that designers should be able to work together in the same tool, without losing quality or control.

The name Figma comes from the fact that it’s the first interface design tool with real-time collaboration – or, as we like to say, it’s a “figment of your imagination”.

PRO TIP: Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – it is used by designers to create high-quality designs and prototypes. However, some users have reported that Figma can be unstable and crash frequently. Additionally, Figma’s file sizes can be very large, which can make it difficult to work with on smaller devices.

We believe that designers should be able to work together in the same tool, without losing quality or control. Figma is the first step in making that happen.
