Figma’s AI Tool Launches for All Users

Figma Make, the prompt-to-app coding tool introduced earlier this year, is now available to all users. Similar to AI coding tools like Google’s Gemini Code Assist and Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot, Figma Make enables users to develop working prototypes and applications using natural language descriptions, eliminating the need for extensive coding knowledge.

Initially, Figma Make was launched in beta exclusively for “Full Seat” users—those subscribed to the tier that unlocks all of Figma’s design products. However, with its latest update, Figma Make can now be accessed by all Figma users, though with certain limitations based on their subscription plans. While all users can experiment with the tool in their drafts, the capability to publish designs created using Figma Make remains reserved for Full Seat users.

One notable advantage of Figma Make over similar app builder coding tools lies in its ability to incorporate design references. Users can upload images or designs from Figma alongside their descriptions—such as requesting the creation of an animated music player—to guide the generated result. Additionally, options for text formatting and font style adjustments can also be made through AI prompts or edited manually.

Figma Make is leaving beta alongside other Figma features, such as the Make and Edit image tool that utilizes generative AI to create or modify images based on user input, and a resolution-boosting feature aimed at enhancing low-quality images.

To facilitate this transition, Figma is implementing an AI credit system that allocates a set number of credits for using the platform’s AI tools, with limits based on subscription tiers. Users on the View, Collab, and Dev Seat plans will have lower limits on AI feature usage, whereas Full Seat users will currently enjoy unlimited access, although Figma notes this could change in the future.

“AI credits are intended to cover day-to-day needs for Full Seats, but for power users requiring more, team administrators will be able to purchase additional credits later this year,” stated Figma in its announcement. “For now, we won’t be strictly enforcing credit limits for Full Seats.”

This development represents a significant step by Figma in democratizing app development, making advanced design and coding capabilities accessible to a broader range of users.
