Figma is a vector graphics editor and prototyping tool. It is available as a web app, and a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The Figma file format (.fig) is based on the OpenType format and can be exported as PDF, SVG, or JSON.

PRO TIP: Warning: The measuring unit in Figma is pixels. Do not change the units to centimeters or inches, as this will change the size of your design.

The measuring unit in Figma is pixels. Pixels are the smallest unit of measurement in digital images.

They are used to create sharp images and can be combined to create more complex shapes. In Figma, you can use pixels to create designs that look sharp on any screen size.
