![]() Sketch do offer this feature via their group resign feature but you’re only limited to four options, so it’s very basic. Figma why I switched (Charli Marie) Why our remote design team is moving from Sketch to Figma While there are still a ton of amazing features, workflows, and tips that I didn't cover, I hope this article is a start in helping you with your move from Sketch to Figma. The grids and constraints allow for complete flexibility when it comes to creating fully responsive layouts. In terms of design tools, Figma offers a few features which are considerably better than the ones within Sketch. Sketch files imported into Figma stay largely the same the pages, layers, texts, and shapes all stay intact, and the symbols are converted to components. ![]() Every project has its own URL, so file-sharing is quick and simple. The typeface is stuck to the top of the text frame. Another advantage to Figma is that it is browser based, so if a developer wants to view a particular project there is no need to download an app to do so, they can simple log in to their Figma account right in their browser. As you can notice, the Figma text frame behaves differently from Sketch and Web. When you import your Sketch files into Figma, any 'Symbols' included in the Sketch file will be converted to Figma Components. Not only is this a game-changer for remote teams, it also helps studios like ourselves to streamline the whole design process. You also have the option to use the shortcut 'f,' or the dedicated frame tool which is located just to the right of the move tool. It saves the need to communicate edits back and forth as each user can view them directly within the app, as and when they happen. Creating frames in Figma is super easy too, in fact you can still use the shortcut 'a' from Sketch to create them. It should be noted that Figma requires an Internet connection, which can be a problem for designers who have to work or download files offline. If you’re a UI designer working in a large team with many pieces of the puzzle, you’ll soon see that Figma is a great tool. The main difference in performance between the two programs is that Figma is a browser-based tool available on any operating system, while Sketch is a Mac-only desktop app. As mentioned above, one area where Figma excels is the collaboration between teams. Now let’s jump in to some of the specific functions and features.
