Adobe and Figma: A perfect match?įor many professionals, Adobe was their introduction to creative software. What happened, and what does this mean for their users? For many, it’s a sigh of relief.
This comes over a year after the Figma community lamented the potential acquisition as the death of collaborative design. That’s why many people were surprised when yesterday marked the termination of Adobe’s $20 billion acquisition of Figma. The two companies have been working with regulators for over a year to turn this opportunity into a reality.
Adobe, known for its popular suite of software in the creative and design industry, announced in September 2022 that they had agreed to acquire Figma, a collaborative design web application that has become the top pick among users across the globe. In a world where T-Mobile acquires Sprint, Disney acquires 21st Century Entertainment, and Activision acquires Blizzard, it seemed like Adobe had a chance to acquire Figma.
