Founder & CEO reports Figma lags and slows work on large projects, impacting efficiency

Read at g2.com

What happened

A Founder & CEO from a mid-market company reports that Figma lags significantly when dealing with large projects and complex designs, causing work to slow down. Similarly, a Software Developer from a small business experiences performance issues with large files or on slower networks and notes that very complex design files can occasionally feel sluggish. Both reviews indicate a recurring problem with performance under demanding conditions.

    “Well, the features are good, but when I’m dealing with a large project it starts to lag, which is very frustrating and makes the work slow. Also, when there are too many layers (which is very normal), it becomes hard to manage and organize them properly. The AI build feature is good too, but many times when I try to stop it, it still keeps working in the background and continues editing files.”

    “One downside of Figma is that it relies heavily on an internet connection, so performance can be affected when working with large files or on slower networks. Some advanced features are limited to paid plans, and very complex design files can occasionally feel sluggish.”
