Definition
FigJam is a collaborative online whiteboard tool made by Figma, designed for brainstorming, diagramming, and team workshops with tight integration into Figma's design files.
Overview
FigJam extends Figma's real-time, multiplayer editing engine — originally built for interface design — into a general-purpose whiteboard aimed at brainstorming and team collaboration rather than pixel-precise design work. Users can add sticky notes, shapes, freehand drawing, stamps, and cursor-chat, with everyone's changes appearing live, the same collaborative feel Figma is known for in design files. Because FigJam shares its underlying platform with Figma, design and product teams can easily move between a FigJam brainstorm and a Figma design file, dragging elements or referencing frames between the two. FigJam also includes templates for retrospectives, user journey maps, flowcharts, and voting/polling widgets for running interactive workshops, putting it in direct competition with more established standalone whiteboards like Miro and Whimsical. FigJam is typically used earlier in the product process — for exploring ideas, mapping user flows, and running kickoff workshops — before work moves into more structured Figma design files, making the two tools complementary parts of the same design-and-collaboration workflow.
