Figma Make, the prompt-to-app coding tool, is now available to all Figma users after exiting its beta phase, previously limited to “Full Seat” subscribers. This tool enables users to create working prototypes and applications using natural language descriptions.
Similar to AI coding tools such as Google’s Gemini Code Assist and Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot, Figma Make operates without requiring innate coding skills. While all Figma users can access the tool, its functionalities are constrained by subscription plans. Publishing designs produced by Figma Make, currently in beta, remains exclusive to Full Seat users. Users on View, Collab, Dev, and free Starter Seat plans are restricted to experimenting with Figma Make within their personal drafts. Full access subscriptions are required to utilize creations beyond a demo phase.
Figma Make offers the distinct advantage of incorporating design references. Users can upload images or Figma designs, alongside textual descriptions, to guide the AI in generating desired outputs, such as an animated music player. Users can further refine individual elements like text formatting and font style using additional AI prompts or manual adjustments.
The release of Figma Make from beta coincides with the full release of other Figma features, including the Make and Edit image tool, which utilizes generative AI for image creation and manipulation based on text descriptions, and a resolution boosting feature for enhancing low-quality images.
Figma is also implementing a new AI credit system. Users receive a specific number of credits for using the platform’s AI tools, with allocations determined by paid membership tiers. View, Collab, and Dev Seat users have lower, variable credit limits for AI features. Full Seat users currently have unlimited access. Figma stated in its announcement, “AI credits are intended to easily cover day-to-day needs for Full seats, but for power users who may need more, team admins will be able to buy additional credits later this year. Until then, we won’t be strictly enforcing credit limits for Full seats.”
