Can I Use Figma Commercially?

Last updated on November 30, 2022 @ 12:18 pm

Figma is a great tool for designing user interfaces and web applications. But can you use Figma commercially?

The short answer is yes, you can use Figma commercially. The long answer is that it depends on how you plan to use Figma.

If you plan to use Figma as a way to create designs that you will then sell or license to others, then you can absolutely use Figma commercially. In fact, many professional designers and agencies use Figma to create high-quality designs that they then sell or license.

However, if you plan to use Figma as a way to create designs that you will then give away for free, then you may not be able to use Figma commercially.

This is because Figma has a prohibited uses clause in their terms of service that prohibits giving away free designs:

“You may not give away any Resources that you create using the Service unless we expressly permit it in writing. For example, you may not offer any Resource for free on any third party website. ”

So if you want to use Figma commercially, make sure that you are selling or licensing your designs, and not giving them away for free.

PRO TIP: If you are thinking about using Figma commercially, be warned that there are some potential risks involved. First and foremost, Figma is designed for personal use and is not meant to be used for commercial purposes. This means that if you do use Figma commercially, you could be in violation of the terms of service and subject to legal action. Additionally, Figma is a cloud-based service, which means that your data could be stored on servers located outside of your country. This could pose a risk to your data security and privacy. Finally, Figma is still a relatively new service and as such, it is subject to change at any time. This could impact your ability to use Figma commercially in the future.
