Farsha / Figma alternative
A free, open source Figma alternative
Farsha is a design tool that runs in your browser and costs nothing. It follows Figma's panel names, tool order and shortcuts, so you can start without relearning anything, and your files stay in your own Google Drive.
Who Farsha is for
- Students, hobbyists and small teams who want to design screens without paying for seats.
- Developers who want to inspect a design and copy CSS, HTML, React or Tailwind.
- People who prefer open source tools and want to keep their own files.

Honest about the gaps
Farsha is early. It covers everyday design work, but it is not at full Figma parity. Live multiplayer editing, component libraries and plugins are not there yet, and pasting from Figma does not bring over auto layout, components or effects. The full, public checklist is the feature gap list, and it is updated as features land.
