FigJam is Figma's online whiteboard, a playful, collaborative canvas integrated with Figma design files, suited to design and product teams wanting whiteboarding that connects to their Figma workflow. It provides a friendly infinite canvas for brainstorming, diagramming, workshops, flowcharts and planning, with sticky notes, shapes, connectors, stamps, emotes and templates, designed to be fun and easy, and crucially it lives in the Figma ecosystem, so design and product teams can whiteboard alongside their Figma design files and move between ideation and design. Popular with designers, product teams and anyone already using Figma, FigJam brings whiteboarding into the design workflow. For design teams, FigJam is a leading choice.
FigJam's distinction is a playful whiteboard integrated with Figma, for design and product teams. Its friendly, fun canvas is designed for easy collaboration, and because it is part of Figma, teams can whiteboard and ideate right alongside their design files, moving seamlessly between FigJam and Figma, which standalone whiteboards do not offer for design workflows. That Figma integration and playful design focus set it apart.
FigJam is best for design and product teams, and anyone already using Figma, who want a friendly, collaborative whiteboard for brainstorming, diagramming and workshops that integrates with their Figma design workflow. It suits design teams. It is a weaker fit for teams wanting the broadest all round enterprise canvas, where Miro fits, heavy workshop facilitation, where Mural fits, the Lucid suite, where Lucidspark fits, or simple free Microsoft whiteboarding, where Microsoft Whiteboard fits.
The core strengths are a friendly infinite canvas with sticky notes, shapes, connectors, stamps, emotes and templates for brainstorming, diagramming and workshops, real time collaboration, FigJam AI, widgets and plugins, and tight integration with Figma design files. FigJam offers playful, easy whiteboarding in the design ecosystem. Its Figma integration and fun, accessible design are its defining advantages.
FigJam has a free plan (a few files), with paid plans priced per editor per month, from around 3 US dollars (FigJam Professional), and it is included or discounted within some Figma plans. Viewers and commenters are often free, so cost scales with editors. Confirm details via the Figma pricing page.
FigJam integrates tightly with Figma design, plus widgets, plugins, and connections to tools like Jira, GitHub and Slack. Its Figma integration and widget and plugin ecosystem, which let design teams move between whiteboarding and design and extend the canvas, are a signature strength for design workflows.
A playful whiteboard integrated with Figma is the signature strength: FigJam's friendly, fun canvas makes collaboration easy, and because it is part of Figma, teams whiteboard and ideate alongside their design files, moving seamlessly between ideation and design, which standalone whiteboards do not offer. For design and product teams, this is the main reason to choose FigJam.
FigJam is highly rated for being fun, easy, collaborative and integrated with Figma, loved by designers, with Figma support, though it is less of a broad enterprise platform than Miro. Its reviews praise the playful ease and Figma integration, with breadth versus Miro the main consideration for non design use.
For design and product teams, and Figma users, who want a friendly, collaborative whiteboard integrated with their design workflow, FigJam is an excellent choice. The main caution is that it is less of a broad enterprise platform than Miro, so teams wanting the widest all round canvas may prefer Miro, heavy facilitation Mural, Lucid users Lucidspark, and Microsoft whiteboarding Microsoft Whiteboard, but for design teams FigJam leads.
