How to Share a Figma File

Collaboration is one of Figma’s strongest features, and sharing files is at the core of that workflow. Whether you’re working with teammates, developers, clients, or stakeholders, Figma offers powerful and flexible options for sharing designs. In just a few clicks, you can give access to view, comment, or edit—without ever leaving the app.

🚀 Step-by-Step: How to Share a Figma File

Open Your Figma File
Make sure the file you want to share is open in the editor.
Click the “Share” Button
Look in the upper-right corner of the screen. Click the blue “Share” button.
Invite by Email
- In the pop-up window, enter the email address of the person or team you want to invite.
- Choose a permission level:
  - Can view – for stakeholders or clients who only need to see the design
  - Can comment – ideal for feedback and reviews
  - Can edit – for collaborators or team members
- Click “Send Invite.”
Or Share a Link
- Click the dropdown under “Link to file” and set the visibility:
  - Anyone with the link (optional login)
  - Anyone at [your organization]
  - Only people invited
- Then, select the access level: View, Comment, or Edit.
- Click “Copy link” and send it via email, chat, or any other tool.

🔐 Tip: Manage Permissions Carefully

When sharing via a public link, always double-check permission levels. For sensitive projects, choose “Only people invited” to restrict access. You can also revoke access or adjust permissions later from the same “Share” panel.

🤝 Sharing with Teams and Developers

If your team is on a Figma Organization or Professional plan:

Add files directly to shared team projects or folders.
Use Dev Mode to give developers a structured view of specs, components, and tokens.
Use comments to gather contextual feedback.

🧭 Bonus: Share as a Prototype

To share a prototype preview (for stakeholders or testing):

Go to Present mode (click the ▶ button).
Copy the URL from the browser’s address bar.
Adjust prototype sharing settings if needed from the “Share” panel.

Sharing a Figma file is quick, secure, and flexible—perfect for fast-moving design workflows. Whether you’re working across departments or getting feedback from clients, Figma’s sharing tools make it easy to keep everyone on the same page.
