Responsive spacing across design and CSS

Auto layout's auto spacing now has two new options, “Around” and “Evenly”, alongside the existing default auto spacing behavior now called “Between”.

Recommend resources you want users to discover and use

Admins can now choose which resources (skills, templates, libraries, and Make kits) are recommended to your organization or workspace.

Get responsive text across screens with text wrap

Text wrap makes your text responsive with two new options: Balance and Pretty. Set either on a text layer, a text style, or an individual paragraph in text settings.

New - The editing panel in Figma Make

The new properties panel brings a more direct way to build in Figma Make. Click any element to adjust its properties by hand, or annotate a spot on the screen and let the agent make the change.

Design closer to CSS with the updated auto layout option

Auto layout now works more like CSS, so what you design lines up more closely with what actually gets built.

Bring code-backed screens onto the canvas with variables attached

Bring coded or legacy screens back into Figma and spend your time refining the work, not rebuilding it.

GPT-5.6 is now in Figma Make

To get started, open the model picker in the Figma Make chatbox and choose GPT-5.6. The model is available on all plans.
