Hey everyone,

I’m hoping someone here has been in a similar situation or might know what I can do.

A few years ago I used Figma all the time with a student license. I saved a ton of projects on that account — many of which are important and I’d really like to access again.

I stopped using it for a while, and now that I logged back in, I realized my student license expired and Figma’s free plan now only allows 1 project with up to 3 files.

Everything else is locked.

I can’t even view or export anything. To unlock the account I have to pay the $20/month Pro plan — just to get access to my own work.

Honestly, this feels super unfair. The free version wasn’t this limited back when I was using it. And now with Adobe being crazy expensive too, it sucks that I need to pay another €20/month just to rescue my old projects.

Is there any way I can access or transfer my files without paying? Like a temporary workaround or something? Or even a way to contact support and request a one-time access?

Any help or advice would mean a lot 🙏 Thanks!

Hi. Sure, just move files to your drafts. There is no such a limits in them.

1 project and 3 files limit is for team work.
