At Config 2025, Figma unveiled a powerful suite of tools designed to radically enhance the capabilities of designers and product teams. Celebrating over a decade of innovation, Figma continues to redefine what design means today, blending automation, adaptability, and seamless collaboration into everyday workflows. In this post, we’ll explore the standout tools introduced during the event and break down what they offer and why they matter.

Figma Make: Turning Prompts into Production-Ready Prototypes

Figma Make is a next-gen "prompt-to-code" tool that lets you convert static mockups into interactive prototypes using natural language. This is a massive leap forward for closing the gap between design and production, traditionally bridged through tedious, fragmented processes. With Figma Make, design, development, and testing are unified in a single interface.

What It Can Do:

You can type a command like "Add a 'Publish' button here" and watch it appear on your canvas. Just upload your design file, and Figma Make will generate a functioning prototype. You can also target specific areas for refinement through natural language edits.

This tool is designed for real-time collaboration, showing changes to all team members instantly and keeping everyone on the same page.

Why It Matters:

  • Speeds up the design-to-code process significantly.
  • Encourages fast iterations and experimentation.
  • Keeps design, code, and feedback loops inside one ecosystem.

Figma Sites: From Designs to Live Sites in a Click

Figma Sites enables designers to publish live, responsive websites straight from their prototypes — skipping traditional handoffs to developers. It removes the friction of the "last mile" in product delivery.

Key Features:

  • Fully responsive layouts powered by Auto Layout, Grid, and new breakpoints.
  • Interactive prototyping tools enriched with hover, scroll, and click states.
  • Integrated animation and interaction layers via Figma Make.
  • Built-in CMS (coming soon) for content teams to update site data without needing dev help.

Why It Matters:

  • Eliminates the need for separate dev workflows.
  • Empowers designers to ship production-ready web experiences.
  • Supports dynamic content management with minimal technical knowledge.

Grid: Precision Layouts with Developer-Ready Output

Grid is Figma’s most robust Auto Layout update to date. It allows designers to create visually balanced, pixel-perfect layouts while offering direct translation into responsive code using CSS Grid.

Functionality Overview:

  • Span elements across multiple grid cells.
  • Resize frames to see live how your layout responds.
  • Customize row/column sizes and spacing precisely.
  • Layer isolation for more flexible design stacking.

Why It Matters:

  • Speeds up creation of complex adaptive layouts.
  • Reduces nesting and visual hacks.
  • Ensures closer alignment between design and dev code.

Figma Draw: Vector Freedom with Real-Time Flexibility

Figma Draw introduces a set of creative tools tailored for complex illustrations, freehand drawing, and advanced visual effects.

Key Highlights:

  • Shape Builder and Boolean editing to merge or subtract paths.
  • Lasso tool for precise vector manipulation.
  • Pattern & Text tools for circular text, path alignment, and textured fills.
  • Integrated design system styles for color variables and theming.

Why It Matters:

  • Empowers illustrators and visual designers within the Figma ecosystem.
  • Eliminates the need to switch between Figma and other graphic tools.
  • Makes complex artwork more accessible and editable.

Figma Buzz: Scale Branded Assets Without Breaking Your Design Team

Figma Buzz is purpose-built for marketing and brand teams who need to create, localize, and scale assets fast without relying entirely on designers.

How It Works:

  • Use pre-defined, editable templates to create social graphics, event materials, and merch.
  • Generate multiple assets in bulk by syncing templates with spreadsheets.
  • Edit safely without compromising layout integrity.
  • View and manage assets in a clear grid interface.
  • "Content Seat" licenses allow non-designers to export assets without access to the full editor.

Why It Matters:

  • Reduces repetitive design work for creative teams.
  • Maintains brand consistency even with distributed teams.
  • Makes high-quality marketing material accessible to everyone.

Figma Config 2025 is more than just a feature drop. It’s a reimagining of what’s possible when creativity and technology merge. From code-aware design tools to full-site deployment and collaborative illustration, the new Figma tools empower every member of a product team to move faster and create better — without sacrificing quality.

Whether you’re a freelancer, student, startup founder, or enterprise team, these updates make your workflow more efficient, intuitive, and powerful than ever before.

Stay tuned as Figma continues pushing the boundaries of design tooling into a new era of creation, collaboration, and code.
