At config 2025 Figma showed it’s here not just to disrupt the UI/UX space but go way beyond that (coming for Adobe). Now Figma is a step closer to dominating the design market but one of the things that is missing is a document publishing tool/mode (like dev/design) in which you can create things like portfolio’s, PDF documents, etc. It is already possible to create a document in design mode but unfortunately creating big documents, books, magazines, etc is just not great yet. It would be great if Figma added an InDesign like tool.
InDesign like tool
Agreed! I have been using Figma as my InDesign-lite since 2018 - it’s also why I made my plugin “Print for Figma” :)
I know that some day Figma will probably make my plugin obsolete, but I think it will still take some time. I’m updating it very soon to offer a lot more capabilities. Combined with the Figma Draw updates, Print design in Figma is looking great in 2025!
agreed!

If you're looking for an InDesign-like tool, there are several powerful alternatives that cater to both beginners and professionals in graphic design and publishing. Applications like Adobe InDesign remain the industry standard, but tools such as Affinity Publisher and Scribus offer excellent features at a lower cost or even for free. These programs allow users to create brochures, magazines, flyers, and digital publications with advanced layout controls, typography tools, and export options.
