Hi ​@Syauqi M Aryasatya, Celyn from Figma Community Support here.

I understand you’d like your friends to be able to access your file — happy to help!

The good news is that you don’t need to remove your Education plan for others to open your file. This usually comes down to the sharing settings.

Here’s what you can do:

Invite via email:

  • Open your file in Figma
  • Click the Share button (top right)
  • Enter your friends’ email addresses
  • Set their access to Can view or Can edit
  • Send the invite

Or share via link:

  • Open your file and click Share (top right)
  • Adjust the link sharing settings and permissions (for example, “Anyone with the link”)
  • Click Copy link and send it to your friends

Here are a couple of helpful guides if you’d like a walkthrough:

Share files and prototypes

If your friends still can’t open the file, feel free to let me know what error message they’re seeing and I can help take a closer look 👍

How do I downgrade my Edu plan

Hey ​@jaxon cross, thanks for reaching out! 

Right now, there's no self-serve way to downgrade a Student team back to a Starter team. Since Student status is tied to your account rather than a plan toggle, our customer support team needs to handle that change directly.

I've gone ahead and opened ticket #2043617 for you, so keep an eye on your inbox for a follow-up email.

 

Someone from our team should be in touch with you soon, appreciate your patience in the meantime!
