[Config 2025] Figma Make is here — let’s hear what you think! 🎨

Love this new feature, have been waiting on it since the moment I heard about it at the Config. So glad it didn’t take as much time to get to me as AI features last year - hehe!

Got a question: is there a time limit to engage and update the designs in there, cause I just wanted to update the design with new prompts, but the field seems to be inactive and I can’t type anything there. Does anyone know what’s the deal, would be sad to lose the progress I made.

Thanx!

When working on a Figma Make (why not call it FigMake? – Big-time missed opportunity) project it drives me nuts that in the code view, there is no save option. I am constantly interrupted with error messages as I type in my changes because it is trying to auto-sync before I am ready. A perfect example: When trying to swap out an icon import, I will add the new lucide icon component and before I can add a comma after the name, it is throwing errors because of formatting or not recognizing the new icon name. It would be amazing to let me tell it when I am done with edits. 

Another thing I wish I could do is create new directories and files without having to prompt it. A right click in the directory to add a new directory or file would be a big time saver. 

Also rolling back versions is not very reliable or predictable. It also misses manual edits that I make in a component file, which is frustrating when I have to roll something back. I have had several times when I have rolled back a project and there is some relic of the old path that shows up down the road again (like completely removing large portions of pages I have configured). 

Let me end by saying this product is amazing and I can see the potential it gives me to become a native-ai product designer. Thank you all. 

Hi, I just got my hands on Figma Make and here are some early thoughts:

1. Currently, as a designer, I feel like my hands are tied. Make it possible to directly manipulate objects position, rotation and scale etc. this is what Figma users are used to from all the other tools. Moving an object via prompt first makes me think about how to phrase it and then wait for the script to be completely rewritten from scratch, which can take several minutes. Quick iteration times is crucial when designing. And this workflow makes it painfully slow. Remember Dreamweaver? They made the possibility to design either on canvas or in code feel intuitive and seamless.
2. when publishing something with interactive elements you can drag, in the mobile browser it scrolls the full page instead of moving the object. I would want a way to turn the page scrolling off.
3. If I fine-tuned one object of my make file, like interaction etc, I would like to easily be able to re use that in a different make file, like components work.
4. I would expect when pasting a component in the prompt that Figma make would better understand how it has been setup with variants, interaction etc. Now have to explain all the logic for Figma make again, from scratch.
5. when pasting a component in the prompt I would expect Figma make to use that component exactly as it looks. Now it is clearly an attempt to recreate the look with a different toolset.

I have just gotten started on exploring Figma Make, still figuring out what it’s good at and not and what level of detail it works best with like fine-tuning animation of a single object or controlling larger contexts.

It’s not often I feel so excited about a new tool! Looking forward to where this is going. Thanks and Godspeed!

I aggree with all said here, the code editing experience is very bad at the moment. If i’m able to edit code, I like the full IDE experience - not being interupted by a linter, missing save functionality, tabs, creating new files/folders and many more functions ...

Since the only way to access prototypes or web apps I’d create in Figma Make is by exporting them to a Figma domain, I don’t see myself ever making use of the tool (or Sites for that matter, for the same reason).

It was disappointing to see Figma follow Framer’s locked-down approach.

Hi! I’m wondering how long it typically takes to paste a Figma frame into Figma Make. I’m trying to paste a simple frame, but it seems to take forever to load. Is this expected, or might something be wrong on my end? Thank you!

I have yet been able to find a useful application for Make with the current implementation. 

It is fun to play around with and see what it can do, but it lacks actual application to my design workflow.

I think the initial thing that could get me using it would be the ability to paste entire flows/prototypes as context for vibe coding up a prototype.

I would also love to see a design system focuses solution where a user could vibe code a component and connect/export (code connect). This would be super helpful for speeding up design system library management across disciplines.

And if both of these worked well together, the code output from make should become more and more usable for engineering teams to actually be able to use.

Just tried Figma Make and it’s pretty amazing! Only major roadblock for me at the moment is not being able to export what I made directly into a new Design file so I can take back control and do the styling and fine tuning myself. When I asked the AI how to do this, it suggested that I remake what I made in a new file, which to me, defeats the objective. 

Really, really impressed, though! Very exciting things on the horizon, keep up the innovative work.👍

​@Tom Reem Hope you are doing fine.

I had a little query regarding the AI usage limits for Figma Make. I know that this whole feature set is in beta phase, but still I would like to know if there are any limits for AI usage like prompt limit for a day, reset poliices, etc that have been placed right now on Figma Make?

Figma Make created a prototype for me beyond my expectations. Sadly it’s unsharable though, as the link won’t load on Chrome or Safari due - the links seem to have security issues
(Seems like some devices have this problem and some don’t)
