You can pick up the basics of Figma in two days, especially if you dedicate several hours each day to hands-on practice.

In that time, many beginners are able to learn how to:

• Navigate the interface: You’ll get familiar with Figma’s panels, menus, and how the layers/frame system works.

• Use basic tools: You can learn to draw shapes, create frames (artboards), add text, import images, and adjust properties (color, size, alignment) – enough to mock up a simple interface or graphic.

• Create a simple design: For example, within two days you might follow a tutorial and design a basic webpage layout or a couple of mobile app screens in Figma.

What you won’t achieve in just 2 days is full mastery of advanced features like complex prototyping, auto-layout, components and design systems – those take a bit longer to understand and use effectively.

But don’t be discouraged: Figma is known for being user-friendly. Many people find that after a few hours of playing around with it, they’re comfortable doing fundamental tasks.

So, in summary: in 2 days you can absolutely become comfortable with Figma’s basics and be able to produce a simple design. From there, continued practice over the following weeks will expand your capabilities considerably.
