Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool which
is primarily web-based, with additional offline features enabled by desktop applications for macOS and Windows. The Figma Mirror companion apps for Android and iOS allow viewing Figma prototypes on mobile devices. The feature set of Figma focuses on use in user interface and user experience design, with an emphasis on real-time collaboration.
Figma is a cloud-based design tool that is similar to Sketch in functionality and features, but with big differences that make Figma better for collaboration. For those skeptical of such claims, we’ll explain how Figma simplifies the design process and is more effective than other programs at helping designers and teams work together efficiently.
Let’s take a look at Figma’s user interface.

Figma is for every platform
Figma works on every operating system that runs a web browser. macOS, Windows 7,8, or 10, Linux Distros, and even Chromebooks can be used for Figma. It is the only design tool of its type that does this, and in Design Agency where every Designer Uses different hardware or OS platforms, Anyone can still share, open, and edit Figma files.
In most organizations, designers use Macs and developers use Windows PCs. Figma helps bring these groups together. Figma’s universal nature also prevents the annoyance of PNG-pong (where updated images are bounced back and forth between design team disciplines). In Figma, there is no need for a mediating mechanism to make design work available to everyone.
Figma sharing is easy and Flexible
Figma allows permission-based sharing of any file, page, or frame (called an artboard in other design tools). When a share link is created to a frame on a page, the person clicking on that link will open a browser version of Figma.
Figma Is Great for Design Review Feedback
Figma supports in-app commenting in both design and prototyping modes, and the comment thread is tracked can be tracked in Slack or email. There’s no need to Publish Design PNG/JPG files to get feedback from the team or anyone. Share the link of the design and they can add their reviews on a particular part of the design.
