Whether you’re switching tools, reducing team size, or simply scaling back, canceling a Figma subscription is a straightforward process. Figma allows users to manage their billing through the account dashboard, making it easy to downgrade, switch to the free plan, or remove paid seats. In this article, we’ll walk you through exactly how to cancel your Figma subscription—step by step.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
- You must be an admin or owner of the team or organization to cancel a subscription.
- Canceling does not delete your files—you’ll retain access to them, though some features may be limited after the downgrade.
- Your current subscription will remain active until the end of the billing period.
- You can switch back to a paid plan at any time.
Step-by-Step Guide to Cancel a Figma Subscription
✅ 1. Log In to Your Figma Account
Visit https://www.figma.com/account and log in using your email and password or Google account.
✅ 2. Go to the Billing Section
Once you’re logged in:
- Click your profile icon (top-right corner)
- Select Settings or go directly to your team/organization settings
- Navigate to the Billing tab
✅ 3. Select the Subscription You Want to Cancel
If you manage multiple teams or organizations, make sure you’re viewing the correct one. The billing panel will show your current plan, number of seats, and billing frequency.
✅ 4. Click “Cancel Plan”
Under the current subscription section, look for the Cancel Plan or Downgrade to Free Plan option. Confirm your decision when prompted.
After canceling, your plan will remain active until the end of the billing cycle. You won’t be charged again, and Figma will automatically switch your team to the free Starter plan (with limited features).
What Happens After You Cancel?
- Access to files: All your design files remain accessible, but some paid features (like version history, team libraries, and Dev Mode) may be disabled.
- Billing stops: You won’t receive further charges unless you reactivate or upgrade.
- Team collaboration: Your team may be restricted to fewer editors or projects depending on the free plan limits.
How to Remove Paid Seats Without Canceling the Whole Plan
If you want to reduce costs without fully canceling:
- Go to the Billing tab
- Adjust the number of seats by removing editors or reducing the plan size
- Save changes to update your billing for the next cycle
This is ideal for teams that are downsizing or reassigning roles but still want access to Pro or Organization features.
Final Thoughts
Canceling your Figma subscription is quick and risk-free—your designs are safe, and you can always return to a paid plan if your needs change. Whether you’re simplifying your workflow or taking a break from premium features, managing your Figma billing is fully in your control.
