InVision vs Figma
InVision was once the leading prototyping and collaboration platform before Figma emerged. Despite reinventing itself with InVision Studio and Freehand, it has lost significant market share. InVision is shutting down its cloud platform and encouraging users to migrate, making Figma the clear migration destination.

Common questions
Yes, InVision announced in 2023 that it would be winding down its cloud collaboration platform. InVision Freehand was sold, and users have been encouraged to migrate to alternatives like Figma or Miro.
Figma is the most common migration destination for design and prototyping work. Miro or FigJam work well for the whiteboarding and ideation use cases that InVision Freehand served.
Figma does not have a native InVision import. Third-party migration services and manual processes are needed. Assets can be exported from InVision and imported into Figma with some rework required.
