Bringing Figma Make to the canvas

By Nikolas Klein Product Manager, 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.

One of the top requests for Figma Make is the ability to bring generated ideas directly into Figma Design, so that they can be shaped, remixed, and built on in the canvas. Our goal is for Make outputs to be fully editable, contextual, and native. No extra steps naming, exporting, or switching modes. Copy design is the first step toward that vision. Now, teams can bring their Make previews into Design as editable layers, closing the gap between intention and action.

Share layers, not screenshots

With Copy design, prompted ideas become more than “outputs.” They become dynamic building blocks for iteration, and a shared entry point for multithreaded collaboration. The journey from prompt to prototype—and from prototype to production—becomes more open and flexible, letting anyone riff, refine, and evolve ideas directly on the canvas.

Imagine: A PM refines a design mock in Make using natural language, then brings a snapshot from their Make into Figma design. Because these ideas are brought into the canvas as structured layers, they’re more than just static references—they’re building blocks the team can actually riff on, refine, and bring to life.

Learning from our community

We’re also learning from the creative ways our community already closes these gaps. For example, <div>RIOTS’ plugin, html.to.design—which allows users to bring live prototypes or any HTML back into Figma as editable frames—is a tool Figma Make users have already been adopting to reconnect their generated ideas on the canvas. That’s why we’ve purchased the technology behind html.to.design. We’re excited to learn from and build with the tech behind <div>RIOTS’ plugin html.to.design for future Make functionality.Thanks to our close partnership with <div>RIOTS, CEO Georges Gomes was able to demo html.to.design converting Figma Make to Figma Design at Config 2025 on release day. The plugin took three years to develop and is used by nearly two million users today.

We want AI to be a true accelerant to your process. That means deeply understanding workflows and rigorously exploring the technical solutions that support them. As part of our partnership, <div>RIOTS will keep building and maintaining their plugins and tools independently, including html.to.design. They’ve been a longtime partner to Figma, consistently shipping tools that empower the community, and that isn’t changing.

“Thanks to this partnership our technology will continue to grow, as we accelerate innovation on html.to.design and new plugins,” says Georges. “New features are launching on html.to.design in the coming months!”

Doing more with Make

We believe the canvas should be a place where anything can be brought in, explored, and transformed by the whole team. We see Copy design as an important step in bringing this capability to Figma Design—where any prompt can spark creation, and every
