Figma

Figma is a cloud-native design platform where product teams collaborate on interface design, prototyping, and design systems in real time. It runs entirely in the browser with optional desktop apps, eliminating file management and version control headaches.

Key capabilities include vector editing, auto layout, components and variants for design systems, interactive prototyping, dev mode for developer handoff, and FigJam for collaborative whiteboarding. The plugin ecosystem extends functionality with hundreds of community-built tools.

Figma revolutionized design tools by bringing real-time multiplayer collaboration to interface design, allowing designers, developers, and stakeholders to work in the same file simultaneously. This eliminated the review cycle of exporting and sharing static files.

Recently acquired features include AI-powered design tools, Figma Slides for presentations, and enhanced developer workflow tools with code generation.
