Figma is a collaborative web-based design platform that enables teams to create, prototype and share user interface and user experience designs in real time. The company’s flagship product, Figma, offers vector editing tools, interactive prototyping, design system management and a growing library of plugins and integrations. In addition, Figma provides FigJam, a digital whiteboarding tool that supports brainstorming, diagramming and remote workshops for cross-functional teams.
Founded in 2012 by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace and headquartered in San Francisco, Figma has gained traction among individual designers, product teams, and large enterprises by emphasizing cloud-native, browser-based collaboration. The platform’s ease of use and real-time commenting capabilities have attracted millions of users worldwide. In September 2022, Adobe announced an agreement to acquire Figma for approximately $20 billion, but the deal was ultimately terminated in December 2023 due to regulatory opposition. Figma continues to operate independently under the leadership of CEO Dylan Field.
Figma serves customers across North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific and other regions, offering localized support and resources to facilitate global design workflows. The company focuses on continuous innovation—expanding real-time collaboration features, enhancing design system governance and building integrations with development and project-management platforms. By connecting design and development teams, Figma aims to streamline the product development lifecycle and foster more efficient, inclusive creative processes.
