Should I switch from Sketch to Figma? (Updated 2021)

--

Sketch vs Figma

Last year I made this article to tell you what design to choose in your next project. Last year was almost a draw between sketch and Figma but this year we may have a winner.

The competition between these 2 amazing design tools is ongoing and without this competition we wouldn’t have what we have right now I am thankful for having both in the market and wishing success for both because the make us as designers to think about stuff that matter and tools shouldn’t be a problem anymore.

So in this article, I will tell you the differences I noticed in the tool and let’s see at the end which one is better.

I will go through the 2 design tools in the following aspects:

  • General features
  • Design Systems — Symbols Vs Components
  • Collaborations
  • Handoffs
  • Prototyping
  • Export Files
  • Offline Work
  • Plugins
  • Features

General features

Both tools have almost the same features, same shortcuts, and the same structure. If you know how to use one of them then by default you know the other one.
