Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – and it’s one of the few tools that allows designers to collaborate in real-time. It’s gained popularity in recent years as an alternative to Sketch, and has even been adopted by some of the world’s biggest companies, like Google, Uber, and Airbnb.

So how much RAM do you need for Figma?

RAM requirements depend on the size and complexity of the projects you’re working on. For smaller projects, 2GB of RAM should be enough.

For larger projects, 4GB or more is recommended. If you’re working on very large or complex projects, 8GB or more is recommended.

PRO TIP: If you are planning on using Figma for any serious design work, we recommend a minimum of 8GB of RAM. less than 8GB of RAM may cause Figma to run slowly or crash.

Of course, these are just general recommendations – your specific needs may vary depending on the nature of your work.

In general, though, Figma is a relatively lightweight application and shouldn’t require too much RAM to run smoothly.
