Figma Make helps non-designers and non-coders turn prompts into polished, browser-first UI prototypes.

Best for:

  • • Rapidly creating polished, browser-based MVP prototypes and demos
  • • Non-designers/non-coders who need attractive UI mockups quickly
  • • Validating UX and visual flow before investing in backend development

Not for:

  • • Building production-ready full-stack apps or backend services
  • • Native mobile apps requiring platform-specific code and APIs
  • • Projects needing complex business logic, security, or heavy integrations
Figma Make is essentially a prompt-to-prototype workflow built for folks who aren’t designers or full-time front-end engineers. You give it direction and it helps produce a beautiful UI-first prototype — ideal when your MVP lives entirely in the browser and you care about how it looks. I like it when I need a quick, polished demo: landing pages, clickable app mockups, or UI flows to show investors or test with users. Because it focuses on frontend visuals, you can move fast without wiring up a backend. The freemium model also makes it easy to try without commitment. That said, it has clear limits. If your product needs a backend, complex data flows, authentication, or nontrivial business logic, Figma Make isn’t the place to build the production stack. Expect to do manual work to convert a prototype into maintainable code — the output is great for visuals and interaction demos, not production-ready services. Also, if you need native mobile features, platform-specific APIs, or deep performance tuning, this won’t cover it. When to use it: iterate UI concepts rapidly, build investor-facing prototypes, or validate UX before investing in backend work. When to skip it: you’re building the actual product backend-first, need production code from the start, or require platform-native features. Bottom line: use Figma Make to prove ideas and get a polished front-end feel quickly. Treat its outputs as design-grade prototypes that will need engineering to become a robust product.

Tradeoffs:

Figma Make speeds up visual prototyping but the generated output isn’t a drop-in production stack — expect manual engineering to make it robust and secure.
