Do you need coding to use Figma?

No, you don’t need to know how to code to use Figma. It’s a visual design tool where everything—layouts, text, interactions—is handled through an intuitive interface.

You can create interfaces, prototypes, and even interactive flows by dragging, styling, and linking elements—no HTML, CSS, or JavaScript involved. For example, to make a button navigate to another screen, you simply link frames in the Prototype tab.

Figma also supports plugins and developer handoff features, but as a designer, you’re not writing any code. Even advanced users can create polished designs in Figma without ever touching a line of programming.

Figma was built for designers—and you can use it confidently with zero coding experience.
