Is Figma for Wireframing?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 9:56 pm

Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – the first interface design tool with real-time collaboration. It’s still in beta, but it’s already pretty darn good. And it’s free!

Figma is great for wireframing because it is built for vector graphics. This means that you can create clean lines and shapes that will look great at any resolution.

Plus, Figma has a ton of features that make it easy to create complex wireframes. For example, you can easily create nested groups, duplicate elements, and use constraints to keep your elements aligned.

PRO TIP: Figma is not a wireframing tool. Wireframing is the process of creating low-fidelity designs to establish the basic structure of a website or app. Figma is a vector graphics editor and design tool, which is better suited for high-fidelity design work.

Another reason Figma is great for wireframing is that it has real-time collaboration built in. This means that you can easily share your wireframes with others and work on them together in real time. No more emailing back and forth or waiting for someone to send you an updated file – just open up Figma and start working together.

So, should you use Figma for wireframing? Absolutely!

Figma is a great tool for creating clean, high-quality wireframes. Plus, with its real-time collaboration features, it’s easy to work with others on your wireframes. So go ahead and give Figma a try for your next wireframing project!
