Figma Make: The Future of Design-to-Code Has Arrived

“Show me the design.” — Figma, 2025

At Config 2025, Figma dropped a bombshell.

Meet Figma Make — the feature that turns your ideas into real, working interfaces with a single sentence.

Yes, you read that right. You tell Figma what to design, and it does it.

UI layouts, interactions, and even ready-to-export code.

We’re officially in the age of prompt-to-prototype.

What Is Figma Make?

Figma Make is your new AI design co-pilot.

You describe what you need in plain English — Make designs it for you, instantly.
