“Now you can push your Make project directly to a new GitHub repository. Back up your code, track version history, and keep building in your preferred development tools. Push ongoing updates from Make to your GitHub repository whenever you make changes.”
“Winners from our first global Make-a-thon offer insights on how to prototype smarter, structure products better, and push Figma Make further.”
Figma Make is pretty great for building custom diagrams for your research.
Another use case for Connectors is pushing code from Figma Make to a GitHub repository, which can be used as a project backup or source for deployment to your preferred hosting platform. Future updates to the Make file can be manually pushed to the repository. Connectors will become available later in October.
Pratik Nadagouda, Product Manager at Figma, shows how to use the upcoming Figma Make connectors to visualize PRDs and tasks with the help of 3rd-party services like Notion, Atlassian, Linear, or Asana.
Dylan Field shows a couple of projects he built in Figma Make with pre-release Sonnet 4.5. He notes that the new model is very good at planning and was able to precisely transform a Figma design into a functional code with a single prompt.
Nikolas Klein, PM at Figma: “Now you can copy any design from a Figma Make preview to the design canvas, allowing you to edit, iterate, and take your ideas further.” To make this possible, Figma purchased the technology behind a popular html.to.design plugin from my friends at <div>RIOTS. As part of this partnership, they will keep building and maintaining their plugins and tools independently, including html.to.design.
Pretty amazing what you can make without writing any code now. Congrats to all winners!
“Explore ideas and riff on product flows with templates in Figma Make. Create an accurate representation of an existing product experience, then replicate it as a sandbox to experiment with design directions, new feature ideas, growth campaigns, and more.”
Miggi: “Figma Make is coming to Figma’s free education teams. Students and Educators can now use Figma’s prompt tool to help take designs to functional coded prototypes! Those already on the education plan will require re-verification to continue to use free education teams and access to tools like Figma Make.”
Admins on the Enterprise plan can now require password protection for all published Sites & Makes across your organization.
In this replay of the August 14 webinar, Figma’s onboarding team walks through how to get started with Figma Make, how it fits into your design and product development workflows, and practical tips for preparing your designs to unlock faster, smarter AI output in Figma.
Lauri Lännenmäki shows yet another use case for Make — after designing a complicated component with different properties and states, make an interactive playground to give to the developers. Great opportunity to test edge cases and experiment with interactions.
The first-ever global Figma Make-a-thon, hosted by Contra. Build something amazing with Figma Make to win $100k in prizes, including a $50k grand prize. Register now and submit your entry between September 3rd and 10th to be eligible to win.
“Restrict access to published Sites and Makes for internal reviews, client sharing, and pre-launch work with new password protection.”
In the first episode of a free Figma AI course by The Cutting Edge School, you’ll learn how to turn static designs into working web apps using Figma Make, without writing a single line of code. It explores the interface, attaching design files, styling components, adding a backend with Supabase, and finally previewing and publishing a live prototype. This is a beginner-friendly lesson that covers Figma Sites, Dev Mode, and how to use Claude-powered AI to generate functional apps faster than ever.
A few updates to Figma Make to make editing, previewing, and iterating even smoother: preview your Make across screen sizes using a new device dropdown menu and custom dimension editor; Make now saves named versions and tracks every code edit, so you can quickly review changes and restore to an earlier state at any time.
Starting July 24th, Figma Make and all Figma AI features, including Code Layers, Rename Layers, Make/Edit Image, etc., are now in general availability, and Figma Make is available for everyone to try. All plans and seat types include AI credits that are shared across all Figma AI features and products.
Figma launched a community for Figma Make, so now you can see what was built with this prompt-to-app tool.
Ridd got an inside look at Figma Make while talking to Holly Li and Nikolas Klein about the future of prototyping. In this episode of the Dive Club podcast, they rethink what “high fidelity” means, explore how Make fits into the design workflow, and discuss use cases they’re most fascinated by.
