How to Get a Free Figma Education Plan

Figma has become a go-to tool for interface design, offering both free and paid subscription plans. While the free version provides basic functionality, it comes with limitations, including a single project, three files, and three pages per file. Additionally, files in the trash are permanently deleted after 30 days.

The good news is that students at educational institutions, including Creative Practice, can access a free Education Plan, valued at $12 per month for regular users. This article walks you through the process of obtaining this valuable resource.

Creating a Figma Account

If you don't have a Figma account yet, you'll need to create one. If you do, skip to the next step.

2. In the pop-up window, enter your desired login info (or sign in using your Google account). It's recommended to use the same email address you registered with Creative Practice to avoid any issues verifying your student status.

3. Check your email for a verification link. Click on it to confirm your email address.
