Figma is an excellent tool for designing interfaces, and the one of the best things about it is the enormous community behind it, providing a continuous flow of great resources such as templates, icons, tools and plugins that make your design workflow faster and easier.
Figma has a lot of advantages compared to Adobe XD or Sketch. It's a browser-based interface design tool that is cross-platform and works in any browser and OS, providing the ideal environment for real-time collaboration with other designers and team members. Apart from its collaborative functionalities and its capacity to create interactive prototypes, export code, graphics and complete layouts, with the help of plugins, Figma can extend its features further - such as the automation of time-consuming tasks.
New Figma resources are uploaded daily to the Figma Community and to save you time, we've made a useful list of the best plugins and tools to speed up your design workflow, based on our first-hand experience.
