Figma
The industry-standard collaborative design tool for digital products.
What it is
About Figma
Figma is a browser-based interface design and prototyping tool used by UX designers, product designers, and developers to create, share, and iterate on digital product designs in real time. It replaced desktop-only tools like Sketch and Adobe XD for most teams because multiple people can edit the same file simultaneously — no more emailing design files.
