Can We Use Figma on Android?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:30 pm

As more and more people are using Figma on their Android devices, we thought it would be helpful to write an article discussing whether or not Figma can be used on Android.

Figma is a vector drawing and animation software that is available on Windows, Mac, and Linux. It has been gaining popularity lately because of its user-friendly interface and its ability to export files as PNGs, JPGs, SVGs, or GIFs.

Unfortunately, at this time Figma is not available for Android. However, the Figma team is aware of the demand for an Android app and is currently working on developing one. In the meantime, there are a few workarounds that Android users can use to access Figma.

PRO TIP: There is currently no Figma app for Android devices. However, you can access Figma on the web using any browser on Android devices. We recommend using the Chrome browser for the best experience.

One workaround is to use an Android emulator such as Genymotion or BlueStacks. Emulators allow you to run Android apps on your computer.

To use Figma with an emulator, you would first need to install the Figma Desktop app on your computer. Then, you would need to download and install an emulator. Once the emulator is installed, you would be able to open and use the Figma Desktop app within the emulator.

Another workaround is to use a service such as remote desktop access that would allow you to access your computer from your Android device. This would require you to set up remote desktop access on your computer and then install an app on your Android device that would allow you to connect to your computer. Once connected, you would be able to open and use the Figma Desktop app.

The last workaround is to use the Figma web app. The web app is not as fully featured as the Desktop app but it does allow you to create and edit vector graphics.

To use the web app, you would need to go to the Figma website and sign in with your account. Once signed in, you would be able to create new projects or edit existing ones.

At this time, there is no way to use Figma directly on an Android device. However, there are a few workarounds that allow you to still use Figma if you have an Android device.
