Best Free Alternatives to Figma in 2025

Since Adobe acquired Figma and raised prices, many designers have been looking for alternatives. The good news is that free options have improved dramatically.

Penpot (Free)

Penpot is the closest thing to Figma that is completely free. It is open source, browser-based, and supports real-time collaboration. The interface will feel familiar if you are coming from Figma.

It is built on SVG so your files are not locked in to any proprietary format.

Lunacy (Free)

Lunacy by Icons8 is a full-featured design tool that is 100% free. It works offline, has built-in icons and illustrations, and even opens Sketch files. The built-in asset library alone saves hours of work.

Which should you pick?

- Need browser-based collaboration → Penpot - Solo designer, want offline app → Lunacy
