Hey!

 

How can I transfer the AI generated Prototype in Figma Make to Figma Design and continue editing it manually there?

Hi everyone, thank you for all your thoughtful feedback!

We’re excited to share an update that could help right now: Teams can now bring their Make previews directly into Figma Design as editable layers 🎉

Thanks for helping us make Figma Make even better! Thank you 💜

I just created a paid account assuming this was possible. Nope. At this point “Make” is no better than Claude Code, or Codex, or even just Sonnect 4.5 in Zed or Cursor. I don’t get it…. Oh, wait, I get it - it was to be the lead in for your free users [eye roll]. I tried copy design, but this really just copies the UI elements with zero understanding of the logic, so - its quite unremarkable. Its like Alphabet quoting that they have N million Gemini users, when really its just the normal user behavior using AI. Anyway, let’s hope those free users show growth help your earnings report - every employee needs some upside. And I say this not in jest but true goodwill. I feel like this should be attainable by now. I would think it could be done taking whatever model you are using, feeding it a bunch of MCP commands, which load whatever internal info you all need to manually edit designs. as it currently stands the “copy to design” is super weak - if it can’t copy all the views and examples, to the UI editor, then its almost of negative value. It just wastes peoples time.

In Vercel you can manually edit the designs some. I should have played with that - a co-worker of mine swears by it. Anyway, I’ll use it this month to try out the other products. But… yeah, I think you all will go down as one of the most over-valued companies ever. It’s unfortunate you all could not get the Adobe deal done.

I’d also just point out - that the idea that Figma Make should somehow be a separate product from Figma Design is off from a strategy perspective. Figma Design will be quickly left behind if it does not offer AI generative design built in. The two products should be one product, and completely integrated. You all should go about this fix as thinking “how do we make Design be powered by an LLM” vs “how do we move what an LLM created into Design”.  Obviously, even if someone makes manual edits, they will want to keep making AI do a lot of work. I realize Make was probably a rushed thing an executive insisted on getting out the door to respond to the many AI design tools now on the market, but its truly putting a bad light on Figma. Design *is* your product. Everything else you have is entirely secondary.

If you can't transfer make file into design file, then make design is meaningless.

Is it impossible to do this for free, only with a paid subscription? If so, which subscription can make it cheaper?

I have tried several AI design products like Google Stich, Figma Make provides the best performance. However, unable to copy the design with interactions to the design page make it useless.

In Make, you can now choose “Copy Design” and then paste that in.

It just copies the objects not the code/functionality (At least for me). This is truly a pointless feature for designers until we can add the fully functional prototype to our design. This only benefits people who want the computer to do all the work then publish a figma site.

+1 to this request. It would help designers to expand thier ideations done on Make even more precisely in the design tool. Also, I’ve realized while expanding on an idea Figma Make gets slower and slower as we add context beyond one screen.

This happened to me and I told it to refactor the code for speed. It worked very well.
