01What it is and who is there
Figma Community is where designers publish and find files, templates, UI kits, widgets and plugins. Designers browse it inside Figma and on the web. For design tools, templates and plugins, it is a direct line to designers at work. Paid resources may be sold under Figma's current terms.
02Cost and what you actually pay for
Publishing free files and plugins is free. Selling resources follows Figma's terms; check current terms before pricing.
03Is it right for you?
It fits design templates, UI kits, icons and plugins that work inside Figma. It fits poorly for products unrelated to design. Popular categories are crowded, so quality and a clear niche matter.
