How to publish files and plugins to Figma Community
Open your file in the editor, click Share, choose Publish to Community, fill in the name, description, category, tags, images and support contact, and publish. Publishing free files costs nothing, and free files are shared under CC BY 4.0. Selling is limited: Figma says it is not approving new creators for paid files right now, and plugins go through a review with no fixed timeline.

| Cost | Free to publish. Approved sellers pay a flat 15% fee per sale; the minimum price is $2. |

Before you start
- A Community profile and edit access to the file you want to publish.
- A thumbnail at 1920 x 1080 px plus up to 9 carousel images; the 'Community file cover frame preset' makes the right size.
- Up to five tags, each custom tag 25 characters or less.
- A support contact: an email address or a website.
- Contributor names, if any; each needs access to the file and a Community account.
- For plugins: two-factor authentication turned on and a 128 x 128 px icon.
How to list on Figma Community, step by step
Prepare the file
Clean up pages, name layers and add a cover frame at 1920 x 1080. Put usage notes on the first page, since buyers of paid files can preview only that page.
Open the publish modal
In the editor, click Share in the toolbar, choose Publish to Community, then click Publish. You cannot publish from the file browser.
Describe the resource
Add a name, a description with directions and credits, one category and up to five tags.
Add images
Upload the thumbnail and up to nine more carousel images. If you use a prototype preview as the thumbnail, you cannot add carousel images.
Set final details
Add contributors, choose whether comments are allowed, and enter your support contact. Pricing appears only for approved sellers on individual profiles.
Publish and update
Click Publish. To update later, choose Publish update; existing duplicates keep the old version, while likes and duplicate counts carry over.
For plugins, wait for review
Plugins show an In review badge after you submit and Figma emails you the result. If rejected, fix the issues and resubmit.

| Comments | – | Leave them on if you want feedback and questions on the page. |
| Support contact | – | An email or site where you answer questions. |

Why submissions get rejected
- Content that breaks the Figma Community Guidelines can be removed at any time.
- Promoting products or services outside spaces meant for it, or spamming.
- Taking credit for other people's work.
- Paid files that fail the content team review.
- Plugins that fail Figma's plugin review; you can revise and resubmit.
Tips that make a difference
- A paid file can never become free and can only be delisted, not unpublished, so decide pricing carefully.
- The first person to publish a paid file becomes the payee and this cannot be changed, so publish from the right account.
- Files published from an organization cannot be moved outside it, and only admins can update files on team or org profiles.
- Duplicates do not include version history or comments, so put instructions inside the file itself.
- Free files are shared under CC BY 4.0, which means people may reuse them as long as they credit you.
