What Is Figma Design File?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:08 pm

Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool – the first interface design tool with real-time collaboration. It’s like Google Docs for designers.

Figma design files are vector files that can be opened and edited in the Figma interface. They’re stored in the .fig file format, which is based on the open SVG standard.

PRO TIP: Figma design files are a type of file used by the Figma software. They are used to store design information and can be opened and edited by Figma. However, they cannot be opened or edited by other software. This means that if you want to edit a Figma design file, you must have the Figma software installed on your computer.

Figma files can be exported as PNG, JPG, or PDF files. They can also be exported as code, which makes it easy to hand off designs to developers.

Figma is a great tool for collaboration, since multiple people can work on a design at the same time. And since Figma files are stored in the cloud, they’re always up-to-date and accessible from anywhere.
