Figma on API Status CheckCommon Figma Issues During Outages
Design editor loading failures
Users may see infinite loading spinners, blank canvases, or 'Failed to load file' errors during outages.

Prototypes may fail to play, or Dev Mode may not load component specs and CSS properties properly.
FigJam connection issues
Collaborative whiteboards may fail to load, or real-time cursor sync may break during degraded performance.
Plugin failures and API timeouts
Plugins may fail to run, and API integrations may encounter 500/503 errors or timeouts during outages.
Troubleshooting Steps Before You Assume Figma Is Down
- 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
Check file permissions
Verify you have edit or view access to the file and that team permissions haven't been changed recently.
- 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
Disable plugins temporarily
Some plugin conflicts can cause editor slowness. Disable all plugins and re-enable them one by one to identify issues.
- 5
Check network connectivity
Ensure you're connected to the internet and that firewalls or corporate proxies aren't blocking Figma's servers.

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.

Figma Status FAQ
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.
