What happens when Figma goes down?

How do I troubleshoot Figma issues?

  1. 1

    Refresh and clear cache

    Hard refresh your browser (Cmd+Shift+R or Ctrl+Shift+R) or restart the desktop app to rule out local caching issues.

  2. 2

    Check file permissions

    Verify you have edit or view access to the file and that team permissions haven't been changed recently.

  3. 3

    Try the desktop app or browser

    If the web version is unresponsive, try the desktop app, or vice versa, to isolate the issue.

  4. 4

    Disable plugins temporarily

    Some plugin conflicts can cause editor slowness. Disable all plugins and re-enable them one by one to identify issues.

  5. 5

    Check network connectivity

    Ensure you're connected to the internet and that firewalls or corporate proxies aren't blocking Figma's servers.

What can I do during a Figma outage?

Work in offline mode with desktop app

The Figma desktop app caches recently opened files, allowing limited editing during outages until connectivity is restored.

Export files as backups

Regularly export critical designs as .fig files or SVG/PNG assets to have offline access during incidents.

Use version history when service recovers

If work is lost during an outage, use Figma's version history to restore previous states once service is back online.

Monitor recovery via API Status Check

Set up alerts to get notified the moment Figma recovers from an outage.

Frequently asked questions about Figma status

Is Figma down right now?

Check status.figma.com and API Status Check for independent monitoring. If both show incidents, Figma is likely down for many users.

Why won't my Figma file load?

This often indicates a server-side issue. Try refreshing, clearing cache, or switching to the desktop app. Check the status page for active incidents.

Why is Figma so slow today?

Slowness can indicate degraded performance or high server load. Check the status page for performance-related incidents.

Is FigJam down separately from Figma?

FigJam runs on the same infrastructure, so most outages affect both. Check status.figma.com for service-specific updates.

Why aren't my plugins working?

Plugin failures during outages are common. Disable them temporarily and check if the core editor loads. Re-enable once service recovers.
