How to Cancel Adobe and Switch to Figma

Audit Your Adobe Usage

Identify which Adobe apps you actually use. Most designers primarily use Illustrator and Photoshop. Figma replaces UI/UX workflows. Photopea.com handles photo editing for free.

Create a Figma Account

Sign up at figma.com. The free Starter plan allows 3 Figma files and unlimited personal drafts. This is enough to evaluate before committing to Professional ($15/editor/month).

Export Your Adobe Files

Export Illustrator files as SVG for vector work. Export Photoshop files as PSD or PNG. Figma can import SVG files directly and maintains layers and editability.

Learn Figma Fundamentals

Master auto-layout, components, and styles — they replace Illustrator's symbols and character styles. Figma's constraints and responsive design features are more powerful for UI work.

Migrate Design Systems

Recreate your design tokens (colors, typography, spacing) as Figma styles and variables. Build a component library. Figma's component variants replace Illustrator's symbol overrides.

Cancel Adobe Subscription

Go to account.adobe.com > Plans > Manage Plan > Cancel. Warning: Adobe charges an early termination fee on annual plans paid monthly. Time your cancellation to avoid it.
