Currently, only Preview and Code edit modes are visible. Are additional editing modes accessible?

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?

Hi!

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

Enjoy!

 

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
