We just wrapped the big announcements at Config, and we know there’s a lot to take in.

This thread is your space to share reactions, ask questions, and let us know what you're excited about (or still curious about) with regard to Figma Make. Our team will be actively reading and sharing relevant takeaways with the product team.

 

What we’d love to hear from you:

  • What aspects are you most excited about — and why?
  • Where do you still have questions or want more clarity?
  • Anything that didn’t quite land for you yet?

 

A few quick reminders:

Figma Config 2025 – Wow! 🎉

😍Absolutely blown away by all the new tools and features—some really exciting things are coming! That said, I’m wondering where we can share feedback and real pain points.

A few important ones:

  • Still waiting for the AI features teased last year to show up in the toolbar.

  • Would love to see AI-generated design systems and components—not just suggestions but actual reusable structures.

  • Imagine if Figma could automatically generate light/dark modes and responsive breakpoints while designing—huge time-saver!

  • Also, it’d be game-changing if the Figma Design System came preloaded with smart, native components, ready to use out of the box.

😉 Some competitors already offer parts of this for free, so I hope Figma levels up here soon. Keep pushing boundaries—amazing job so far! 💜

Hi ​@Erzen_Pashaj — thanks for reaching out and for taking the time to share your feedback on today’s announcements! Your insights help us continuously refine our tools to better serve our community!

Following up on your first point, if you're not seeing AI tools, it can be for one of two reasons:

  • you're on a Starter plan; or
  • your admin has turned off AI tools for your organization.

For more information on admin permissions, have a look in the support center: Manage team permissions, and if you’re still unable to get it sorted out — reach out to the Support Team. With that, an account specialist will be able to take a deeper dive. 🙏

Hello Thomas, 

I am interested in Figma Make and would definetely get a subscription if it also works with slides/pitch decks. Is that the case? 

 

Thanks in advance.

how about increasing the number of modes to let’s say 12 for proffesional plan?

Will we be able to connect Figma Make apps to a backend, like Supabase?

Hey Thomas! Congrats to the team on all the new features and tools launched at Config! I had a great time watching the demos and guest speakers~

 

I’ve been trying out Figma Make to refine and do some light prototyping of our designs, and had a couple questions:

  • Will there be a way to export the edited design back into Figma?
    • I know this may pose some challenges because of the code and prototyping, but this would be SO helpful for adjusting designs, aligning with our design system, as well as passing off to our engineering team!
  • Perhaps a better solution could be to create a version of Figma Make that doesn’t convert to code or prototype interactions, and is purely more “design” focused with frames that you can put back into your design file and continue creating?
  • Does there exist an easier way to just provide the different components, colors, variables, etc to our engineering team (like dev mode, rather than directly passing them the code)?

 

If we could export edited designs back into a design file, Figma Make would be an absolute game changer!!


Many thanks in advance!

Hi everyone!


Thanks for all of your thoughtful questions and perspectives around what’s possible with Figma Make. I’m seeing three main themes emerging and I’ve organized them below to share with the product team. While a specific timeline isn’t available, we look forward to sharing more on the roadmap when we can.

  1. Figma Slides and Figma Design-only workflows

    We’re hearing interest from folks like ​@oreocerise in using Figma Make for slides and pitch decks. While this isn’t currently supported with Make, there are already a number of AI tools available in Figma Slides — learn more here.

    And thank you to ​@cindy16 for flagging the need for a more design-focused mode that doesn’t convert to code or prototypes.
     
  2. Customization and integration options

    @Hoang Phan – increasing the number of modes (e.g. 12 for Pro plans) is a request we’re tracking, though this isn’t available at this time.

    @Mat_Mayes – we understand the interest in connecting Make to backends like Supabase. This is something on our radar, though we can’t share specifics yet.
     
  3. Design system and developer handoff enhancements

    We know how valuable it would be to export edits back into a Figma file — and we’re hearing requests for better alignment with design systems and easier handoff to development teams — similar to Dev Mode, but for Make.
     

Please keep the feedback coming. It’s helping us better understand what’s resonating and where we can improve. We’ll continue updating this thread as we learn more.

I don't want to export edits back to Figma, I want the design and site to be one and the same like Framer or Webflow.

 

Sites being a separate context entirely makes this inherently more clunky than the competition.

This reduced attention to your CORE product is monopolistic behavior that will make people turn away from you! 

Just a suggestion: You may consider adding REAL value to your CORE product (e.g. better prototyping), instead of a range of half-bakes solutions for hobbyists that will never come to full fruition. You are becoming Adobe...
