How to Cancel Figma — Step-by-Step Guide (2026)

⏰ 2-3 minutes easy Last Updated: 2026-05-22 $15/mo Reviewed by Bill Vampire Editorial Team

Figma's free Starter plan is generous (3 projects, unlimited personal files), so canceling just means downgrading. Your existing files aren't deleted — they become view-only if over limits.

Official account or cancellation path Figma

Go to Figma account settings

Open figma.com and click your avatar → Settings. Or navigate directly to figma.com/settings.

Only team Admins can downgrade team plans. Individual Professional plans can be managed by the account owner.

Navigate to Plan/Billing

Click "Plan" or "Billing" in the settings sidebar. You'll see your current plan (Professional, Organization, or Enterprise) and billing details.

Click "Downgrade" or "Cancel plan"

Click "Downgrade to Starter" or "Cancel". Figma will show what changes — mainly project limits and advanced features.

On Starter, you get 3 Figma files and 3 FigJam files. Existing files beyond this become view-only (not deleted).

Already charged? Keep the receipt and the cancellation confirmation. They are the useful part of a refund request.

Confirm the downgrade

Confirm your choice. Paid features remain active until the end of your billing period. Your files, components, and design systems are preserved.

Export important files as .fig before downgrading — you can reimport them later. Or keep them in your account (view-only access continues).

⚠️ Watch out

✓ Refund may be possible

Figma handles refunds case-by-case. Email [email protected] with your request. Annual plans are more likely to get prorated refunds than monthly plans.
