Figma is a collaborative web application for interface design, enabling multiple users to work simultaneously on cloud-based projects. Dylan Field and Evan Wallace founded Figma in 2012, with the initial aim of making creative tools free and accessible within a browser. The company prepared the software for its first public release for four years and launched it in 2016. On August 2, 2025, the company held its initial public offering on the New York Stock Exchange.
Key features of Figma include vector editing, real-time collaboration, prototyping, responsive design, and design system management. It allows designers to create intricate designs, ensure consistency across different screen sizes, and build interactive mockups. Figma also supports the creation of reusable components and styles, which ensures design consistency and saves time. It is used by UI/UX designers, product designers, marketing teams, and tech startups.
Figma offers a range of pricing plans, including a free Starter plan. Premium plans include Professional, Organization, and Enterprise, with varying features and administrative controls. As of December 2024, the Professional plan costs $15 per user per month, while the Organization plan is $45 per user per month, and the Enterprise plan is $75 per user per month. Viewers or guests without editing access are free on all plans.
