Hi ​@Betty HUANG, thanks for reaching out! 

Currently, you can attach designs to your Figma Make prompts, but you can't bring your Figma Make files or the result of your conversations back to Figma Design. This means you can't directly export Figma Make files, you do have the option to either save a local copy of your file, or to export the code generated by Figma Make in your file.  
 
Here's how you can do it:
 
Save a local copy of the file:
 

1. Open the file you want to export.
2. Click the main menu at the top-left corner.
3. Select File > Save local copy to download a copy of the file to your downloads folder.

 
Please note that this can only be opened in Figma. 
 
Download the Figma Make code:
 

1. Open the file you want to download the code from.
2. Click the "Code" tab to view the code generated.
3. Click "Download code" on the right hand side of the window.

 
Please see the screenshot for reference:

For you second question, at this moment we only have Preview and Code. While Figma Design tools aren’t directly integrated into Figma Make, you can use the edit tool to point to specific elements of the preview and edit with by prompting, or directly manipulate properties like font style and text padding.
 

Let me know if this clears your question, happy to help out further! 

This is a massive oversight in the workflow. Figma Make is effectively a dead end

This feature is 100% a requirement. This workflow needs human-in-the-loop in order to be viable. Add this ASAP or lose us to a tool that has this out of the box.

Hi!

You can bring Figma Make results into Figma Design with the new html.to.design Chrom extension.

Blog post here: https://html.to.design/blog/from-figma-make-to-figma-design

Enjoy!

This plugin only takes static screenshots. Makes it tough for big projects and especially responsive projects. 

It’s a lot more than static screenshot. It brings all the layers and has options to use autolayout (for responsiveness) and components for hover effects.

Figma doesn’t have the capability to replicate all the responsiveness that CSS does so if you have large layout changes between desktop and mobile you can also capture in different viewport sizes with the plugin.

I hope this helps.

Cheers

​@Gayani_S , it would be very useful if Figma could add the option to save/export a .fig file from Figma Make as well as edit the file in Figma Design. FigmaMake is a great tool, but right now I do not have an option to code on my own the file it has generated. 

Is there any other way for me to get the file and be able to develop (code) it? I have been working on a web app and the design is great. I now want to export it and code it on my own. 

For me one big thing here is to be able to export the figma make design into a Figma Sites project. I agree also that it would be very nice to be able to export into a normal Figma project.

Otherwise if this will not be possible in the close future, this is a real waste of potential with such a great tool. The combo of Figma, Figma Sites and Figma Make can become REALLY powerful for front end development, as a more designerfriendly alternative to coding.

Looks like the impression we all got is also what the investors saw. Stocks are up.
It’s like those videos where we got a cake, that was made to look like something else. Still sweet, but you got me.

“Currently, you can attach designs to your Figma Make prompts, but you can't bring your Figma Make files or the result of your conversations back to Figma Design.”

Literally everybody here goes ‘HUH?’… 

Any time schedule on when this WILL be possible?

Without export, figma make is totally unusable. Many integrations need to be edited in local IDE

What’s the point of Figma Make if I can’t do this? I just tried Make and it’s useless for me if I can’t do this. 

I tjhink they rush to deliver a Tool that fits all the AI fever going around with companies without really thinking how usuful could be, for designer specially in UX, Service, etc you would think that the first think would test this with actual users and think “oh maybe a good idea to integrate with our own software” otherwise seems like its a much slower chatgpt. it is not intuitive at all and dont really follow instructions. if you dont know what your end need is and your trusting this gives you a nice prototype lets say base on your DS it doesnt do it at all just surface level. it need so much review and rephrasing and promping that is faster at least in my point of view to do it myself then use Make but that might just be me

I was initially very excited to try Figma Make, but after using it on a real project, I quickly realized its limitations. The agent often ignores guidelines, forcing you to re-prompt repeatedly or manually edit the code to update the portions you want, which is frustrating and inefficient.

There’s also no visibility into token consumption. After just two hours of use and around 70 prompts, many of them spent fixing issues, I suddenly received a message, without prior notice, saying all my monthly credits were gone without any prior warning, and there’s no option to buy more to finish the work.

I thought I could at least finalize my design manually in Figma Design, but there’s no way to export and continue. Overall, this has been one of the most frustrating experiences I’ve had with a Figma product. In my view, Make should be treated as a beta for an upcoming product, not something sold as a finished tool.

  So, I’m a backend developer and I needed that code to do the rest work since, how to export the code since copy pasting it would take so long.

I like the output that Figma Make generated but without the ability to export back to Figma Design, and extract the output as PNG, I cannot see the long term viability of this function since it exclude human in the loop ...

😀

Please provide this ASAP, absolutely useless without the ability to export to a real Figma File. Are you saying we should just use aistudio for design now and uninstall Figma?

You’re my lifesaver!! Thanks a lot!!!

Yeah, it creates good designs, but without Export it’s unusable
It would be super useful if they allow to copy/export/transfer generated designs

I agree, this product is unusable without this feature. I can’t even bring a prototype into Figma Slides without first exporting as a rasterized image.

Has this (below) been removed from Make? We are enterprise plan - had this option previously but now missing.

Save a local copy of the file:

1. Open the file you want to export.
2. Click the main menu at the top-left corner.
3. Select File > Save local copy to download a copy of the file to your downloads folder.
