A Browser-Based Design Tool for Interfaces
Figma runs in the browser and as a desktop app, so a whole team can work on the same file at once.
Figma is a design tool made for screens. Where Photoshop edits pictures and Illustrator draws logos, Figma lays out interfaces: the buttons, menus, forms and pages people use on a website or in an app. Designers, developers and clients can open the same file through a link, leave comments on the design and see changes as they happen.
It started as a browser tool in the mid-2010s and has become one of the most common interface design tools in the industry. That is why job posts for UI and UX designers so often list it. A designer who is comfortable in Figma can also produce social media graphics, presentations and brand sheets, which makes it useful beyond app work.
| Tool | Best at | Weak at | Use it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Photoshop | Photo editing and composites | Interactive screens | You are editing images |
| Illustrator | Logos, icons, vector art | Multi-screen flows | You are drawing brand artwork |
| Canva | Fast templates and posts | Detailed app layouts | You need quick social content |
| Figma | Websites, app screens, prototypes, design systems | Heavy photo retouching | You are designing an interface |
| InDesign | Print layouts and books | Screens and prototypes | You are designing for print |
Figma has a free plan and paid plans. Plans and limits change, so check Figma for the current details.
