AI engineering handoff tool in Figma Make
Go from prototype to production-ready code in one place. This AI engineering handoff tool keeps design and development aligned—no translation layer required.
Generate production-ready code
Turn prototypes into real code
Generate functional front-end code from interactive prototypes—aligned to your components, structure, and logic.
Stay in sync with your design system
Build with your existing Figma libraries and tokens so what gets handed off already matches production standards.
Design and develop in one place
Inspect, edit, and refine code inside Figma Make. No tool-switching. No copy-paste drift.
Validate with real data before handoff
Connect a backend to test flows with live data, authentication, and real states—so engineering gets fewer surprises.
Built by real teams.
See how makers, designers, and PMs are using Figma Make to build no-code web apps—from internal tools to product MVPs.

How to use Figma Make as an engineering handoff tool
Create a design in Figma Design or start in Figma Make. Build your screens using your team’s components and styles.
Describe how the product should work, including states and edge cases.
Example prompt: “Add form validation with inline error states and disable the submit button until all required fields are complete.”
Figma Make generates structured, front-end code that reflects your layout, components, and interactions. Developers can review logic and structure directly.
Connect to a backend like Supabase to test with real data, then iterate.
Example prompt: “Connect this dashboard to a user table and display personalized data after login.”
When everything works as expected, share the file or publish—engineering gets aligned, working code as a foundation.
FAQs
An AI engineering handoff tool helps teams move from design to development without manual translation. In Figma Make, prototypes can generate functional code aligned to a team’s design system and logic.
Figma Make builds prototypes using existing Figma libraries and components. Because code is generated from those same sources, visual and structural inconsistencies are reduced before implementation begins.
Yes. Developers can review and adjust code generated in Figma Make. The workspace supports inspecting structure, refining logic, and aligning output with production standards.
Yes. Figma Make integrates with a backend such as Supabase, allowing teams to test authentication, user data, and dynamic states before handoff.
Fundamentally. Figma's 2026 AI report found that over half of product builders say they've stopped using linear handoffs entirely. Instead of a sequential design-then-develop process, teams are moving iteratively or simultaneously between design and code, with developers participating in design earlier and designers moving closer to working code. The handoff is becoming an ongoing, continuous process.

How Lufthansa Systems prototypes realistic maps for the cockpit with Figma Make
Pilots depend on in-flight software to navigate routes, see air traffic, avoid turbulence, and more. To bring more dynamic prototypes to user testing, Lufthansa Systems turned to Figma Make.
Create, ship, and manage data-backed websites with Payload in Figma
With Payload in Figma, teams can go from prototype to production together, managing their content and data all in one place.
Measuring time savings from Figma Make
The Figma Data Science team assumed that AI saves users time—but quantifying it required a new approach to research design.
A properties panel and annotations, now in Figma Make
With visual editing and annotations, Figma Make is bridging the gap between design and code. Select any element you want to change, adjust it directly in the properties panel, or write in-context prompts with annotations.
Workflow lab: Deploying designs directly with Figma Make
The handoff from design to code doesn't have to be a one-way street. This workflow shows how a designer can connect a codebase to Figma Make, make the changes directly, and bring the whole team into review—right up to the PR.
