Simply accessing\/viewing your files is one thing; making comprehensive changes and tackling dozens of layers is a whole different beast.<\/p>\n<p>So, just how powerful does your hardware need to be to run Figma?

And while Figma officially states you can use it with just about any internet connection, you'll want at least a decent broadband connection (40mbit\/s or higher) for efficient \/ snappy work.<\/p>\n<p>After all, the custom assets (Images, Videos etc.) you add to your Figma projects all have to be uploaded to the cloud, and multi-layer projects can blow up to easily be 500+ Mbyte in filesize. So no working on mobile data if possible.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Our_Take_On_the_Official_Figma_System_Requirements\"><\/span>Our Take On the Official Figma System Requirements<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Figma is a browser-based application.
