Use Figma on iPad
An iPad gives Figma’s canvas and property panels more space. It is useful for reviewing a desktop editing session with the tools and files already open on the Mac.
How to get Figma on your iPhone or iPad
- Open Figma on your Mac and install the free Apperture Mac host.
- Get Apperture on your iPhone or iPad, then pair with your Mac using its QR code.
- Connect to your Mac and choose the Figma window. Use landscape orientation for more room.

Can I use Figma on my iPhone or iPad with Apperture?
Yes — by streaming Figma from your Mac with Apperture. The desktop app runs on your Mac; your iPhone or iPad displays its window and sends remote input back. You need a reachable, awake Mac with Figma installed, the free Apperture Mac host, and the Apperture app on your iPhone or iPad.
Figma also offers a browser editor and mobile tools for viewing, commenting, and presentation. Apperture is another way to reach your existing Mac window; Figma’s collaboration and account access still apply. Figma product information.
