Figma is a web-based UI\/UX design tool that allows real-time collaboration, and is a representative platform that has revolutionized the way digital products are designed. It was co-founded in the US in 2012 by Dylan Field and Evan Wallace, and since its official launch in 2016, it has quickly grown into a design tool that leads the global market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unlike existing design tools that are based on local installation, Figma is different in that it works directly in the browser. This allows various job groups such as designers, developers, PMs, and marketers to work in real time and exchange feedback while viewing the same screen without installing a separate program. Powerful collaboration features such as real-time co-editing, commenting, and version control are especially efficient in the era of remote work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our main products include Figma Design, FigJam, an online whiteboard for collaboration, Figma Slides for creating presentation materials, Dev Mode, a developer-only mode, and Figma AI, which features AI automation. They cover the entire design process from design planning to implementation, feedback, and presentation, maximizing team productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Figma signed a $20 billion acquisition deal with Adobe in 2022, but the acquisition fell through at the end of 2023 due to exclusivity issues. It has continued to grow since then, and was valued at $12.5 billion in 2024. In April 2025, it is preparing for another leap forward by filing confidential documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for an initial public offering (IPO).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
