Cancel Figma - step by step

1
Sign in as the team admin
Only admins can change billing. Open Figma in a browser.
2
Go to the team → Settings → Billing
Navigate to your team's billing settings.
3
Downgrade to the Starter (free) plan
Select downgrade. Your files are retained, but the free plan limits the number of editable files and version history.
4
Reduce editor seats if you just want to lower cost
Figma bills per editor seat. If you do not need to fully cancel, removing unused editor seats lowers your bill.
5
Export key files first
Free plan limits apply, so export important designs (File → Export) before downgrading if you have many projects.

Downgrade and reduce seats instead of canceling

Figma charges per editor. If cost is the issue, first remove unused editor seats - viewers are free. The free Starter plan keeps your files but limits how many you can actively edit and shortens version history.

Figma free plan limits

Figma's free Starter plan keeps your account and files but limits you to a small number of editable files and shorter version history. Files beyond the limit become view-only until you upgrade. If you have many active projects, export the important ones before downgrading. Viewers are always free, so only editor seats incur cost on paid plans.
