How to sign up for Figma Pro for free

Figma is a web-based graphical editing and user interface design application. You can use it to do all kinds of graphic design work from drawing wireframes, designing app interfaces, designing prototypes, creating social media posts and much more.

Figma is different from other graphics editing tools. Mainly because it works directly on your web browser. This means you can access your projects and work from any computer or platform without having to install software.

Another reason why so many people like this app is that Figma offers a feature-rich free plan where you can create and host 3 active projects at the same time. I think this is more than enough for you to learn, experiment and work on small projects.

Due to the above advantages of Figma, more and more people are using this tool. However, because Figma’s license price is quite high, many people still cannot upgrade to the Pro version. So in this article, I will show you how to register for Figma Pro for free. Actually, this is an educational program support package like Google, Microsoft and Apple Education.

What does Figma Pro have?

Figma Pro costs $12 per user/month. While in Figma Free, you are limited to two users working on the same document, while the Pro version is unlimited.

You are also limited to three projects (not Files) in the free version, while the Pro version is unlimited. Projects are a way to organize more files and it’s very useful. Your project may have a specific common color scheme or shared UI elements, or project-specific user settings, etc.

The Pro version also offers unlimited version history, so you can go back and go through all the changes that have taken place on the file. Figma’s Free version also offers version history viewing, although it only records history for 30 days.

The Pro version also allows setting project-specific permissions. This allows you to manage who has access to each project, who can edit or view those projects, or even prevent certain users from accessing the project until the project is ready. . You can also make your assets read-only so they can be used in the project without being modified.

Group libraries are an extremely useful feature of the Pro version. With group libraries, you can store elements, palettes, stroke styles, gradients, fonts, and more.
