Core Tools in Figma Make

Figma Make introduces a more powerful and flexible workflow for designers who want to build modern UI/UX experiences with clarity, speed, and consistency. The platform refines the original Figma feature set and gives teams new tools to manage components, create scalable UI systems, and prototype interactive user journeys.

Whether you're designing dashboards, mobile UI, web interfaces, or full product design systems, Figma Make supports UI designers, UX designers, and product teams at every stage.

1. Component and Variant Management

One of the strongest features inside Figma Make is the enhanced component and variant system. Designers can organize large UI libraries with ease, whether you’re building a Web UI, mobile wireframes, dashboard UI, or a complete user interface design system. Variants allow you to group multiple states into a single family, making it easier to maintain clean files and scalable design structures.

You can create component sets for:

• Buttons

• Forms

• Cards

• Navigation bars

• List UI

• Dialogs

• Onboarding UI

  
  

With variant logic, you can include states like hover, focus, active, disabled, loading UI, and interactive transitions. This reduces visual clutter and simplifies design handoff for developers using React UI, Material UI, Chakra UI, NextUI, Tailwind UI, Tetrisly, or Radix UI.

Figma Make also improves component naming, auto-linking, and organization, making it easier for UI designers and UX teams to maintain large-scale design systems like Fluent UI, Mantine UI, or Apple UI Design kits.

2. Auto Layout 2.0

Auto Layout is one of the most-loved features in Figma, and Figma Make takes it to the next level. The new Auto Layout 2.0 system introduces smoother responsive behavior, improved alignment, and better support for complex UI layouts.

Upgrades include:

• Smarter responsive resizing

• Dynamic content scaling

• Automatic spacing control

• Fluid layouts for Web UI

• Stronger mobile UI support

• Better handling of nested components

• Support for multi-device breakpoints
  
  

This helps designers build UI patterns like dashboards, cards, grids, navigation bars, header UI, and content sections using consistent spacing. Whether you're designing neuromorphism UI, glassmorphism UI, or minimal UI systems, Auto Layout 2.0 keeps everything aligned and consistent.

It’s especially useful when designing:

• Mobile app UX

• Website interface design

• Landing page UI

• Profile pages

• Table UI design

• Card UI design

• Admin dashboard UI

  
  

Since Auto Layout 2.0 adapts automatically, it reduces manual adjustments and gives UI/UX designers more time to focus on creativity and UX flow.

3. Advanced Prototyping Tools

Figma Make expands prototyping with deeper interaction logic, more advanced transitions, and better UX flow simulation. You can now prototype complex app behavior without needing external prototyping tools.

Key upgrades include:

• Logic-based interactions

• Conditional navigation

• While-hovering animations

• Gesture support for mobile UI

• Interactive components

• Smart transitions

• State-based flows (loading UI, success UI, error UI)

• Improved animation timing controls

  
  

These features help UX designers test real-world behavior across mobile, tablet, and web interfaces. Whether you're designing a chat UI, e-commerce UI, admin UI, or booking UI, Figma Make lets you preview the entire user flow.

This is especially valuable for UX researchers, allowing them to gather better user feedback and reduce bad UX examples before development starts.

4. Design Tokens and UI Systems

Modern design requires consistency, and Figma Make supports advanced design token workflows. Inspired by systems like Material UI, Radix UI, Fluent UI, Chakra UI, and Tailwind UI, designers can define reusable UI tokens for every part of the interface.

Tokens can be created for:

• Colors

• Typography

• Spacing

• Shadows

• Border radius

• Breakpoints

• Elevation

• Icon sizes

• Component states
  
  

These tokens synchronize seamlessly with component libraries, code handoff, and UI engineering pipelines. Teams using React, Vue, Next.js, Svelte, or Flutter UI design benefit from faster development because their UI stays aligned with the design system.

Designers working in figmacommunity, UI8, Uistore, or Figmaresources can also import ready-made system presets and customize them inside Figma Make for apps, dashboards, or SaaS UI design.

5. Figma Mirror for Mobile Preview

Testing mobile UI on real devices is essential for good UX design. Figma Mirror (including the figmamirror app) connects your phone to the design file so you can preview screens instantly on iOS or Android.

This helps validate:

• Tap targets

• Typography sizes

• Spacing and padding

• Scroll behavior

• Interaction timing

• Touch gestures

• Navigation patterns

  
  

Designers building mobile app UI, iOS UI, Android UI, or React Native UI can test layouts before exporting to code. Figma Mirror reduces guesswork and helps you catch layout issues early.
