Figma vs InVision

InVision taught the world to prototype. Figma puts it hand-in-hand with design. Designers are consolidating tools so they can design, prototype, collect feedback and handoff in Figma.

Get started

Why are people switching from InVision to Figma?

Less is more

Using InVision means you have to use Sketch, Abstract, or Zeplin too. Figma is all-in-one and gets you a lot more for a lot less.

Create together

Exporting between Sketch and InVision to gather feedback is exhausting. In Figma, design files, prototypes, and comments are all in one place, making the collaborative design process seamless.

Design at scale

Design systems should live where you design, not in a separate app. With Figma, you can easily share libraries with your design team and improve components with built-in analytics.

We’re constantly building, testing, and iterating. Being able to pull together a prototype in Figma so quickly and easily is massive for us.

Wait, can Figma really replace Sketch, InVision, and Zeplin?

Figma is built for your entire product design workflow. Create and collaborate on a design file. Prototype interactions. Share a link to your file or prototype. Gather feedback via comments. And grab all the code snippets and specs you need for development.

Isn’t InVision all-in-one?

If InVision Studio meets your team’s needs, and you don’t mind syncing to the cloud every time you want to collaborate on a design, then it’s a possibility.

But more commonly we hear that teams need to rely on Sketch to design and InVision to prototype. Figma has a best-in-class editor, built-in prototyping, and design systems that scale with your organization—no syncing required.

Figma really brings together different parts of the team. The amount and quality of feedback is 10X better than before.

But I need to create high-fidelity prototypes…

Prototyping in Figma is robust, with multiple triggers, actions, transitions, and overflow behaviors that bring your designs to life, including advanced animations for touch gestures and loading sequences. For times when you need dynamic logic, Figma has integrations with Principle, Protopie, and Flinto.

Because Figma is a single tool for design and prototyping, it’s easy to design and prototype in tandem and test your ideas earlier and more often.

But with InVision, all I have to do is send a link…

With Figma, you can do that too. And it’s even better because the comments you get on your prototypes appear in your design files in real-time, eliminating the need to flip back-and-forth to incorporate feedback. When it’s this easy to share and collect feedback, prototyping becomes part of your iterative design process, instead of being an afterthought.

What about my design systems?

Maintaining your design system libraries with InVision’s Design System Manager means constantly worrying that they aren’t up-to-date with Sketch. Figma is built in the cloud—which means your shared libraries are always up-to-date. No syncing. Period.

Plus with Design System Analytics, Figma gives you insights into library and component usage so you can make decisions backed by data.

Everyone's looking at a single source of truth—the exact same components that are the exact same version in the same tool. That's what Figma does for a design system.

What else do I get if I switch to Figma?

For starters, Figma’s platform is extensible and our community is awesome (if we do say so ourselves). This means Figma has the plugins you need to help you automate your work and a ton of templates and resources available through the community for you to re-use and learn from.
