Figma Expands Its Design Universe with Revolutionary Tools at Config 2025
Figma has once again raised the bar for digital design and collaboration. During the highly anticipated Config 2025 event, the company unveiled a series of major updates and fresh features aimed at transforming how teams design, prototype, and build together. From dynamic drawing tools to responsive website publishing, Figma is now positioning itself as a full-stack creative platform.
At the heart of these updates is a clear mission—empower creators to go from idea to interactive prototype with speed, flexibility, and control. With features like Draw, Grid layouts, Buzz brand tools, and the new AI-powered Make, this release caters to both designers and non-designers alike.
Figma Draw Redefines Creativity for Illustrators and Designers
Draw is a completely redesigned visual expression interface made for those who love to illustrate, sketch, and prototype with precision. The Draw toolbar gives users access to an intuitive setup tailored for sketch-style input. New tools such as lasso selection, shape builder, and multi-edit bring professional-level vector control to the platform.
Brushes add a natural, hand-drawn touch to vector graphics, while new fills like texture, pattern, and progressive blur enhance visual depth. Designers can now even apply text directly onto paths, opening up endless possibilities for creative layouts. Dynamic stroke options let users customize the wiggle and flow of strokes, making illustrations more organic. Figma also teased the upcoming release of variable width strokes for greater control in illustration.
Figma Grid and Buzz Introduce Smarter Layouts and On-Brand Content Creation
Figma Grid is a new layout option that simplifies responsive design. Designers can now span elements across multiple tracks, use fixed track sizing, and align their designs with grid-based CSS in Dev Mode. It’s ideal for gallery layouts, bento-style sections, and other complex responsive designs that need to scale smoothly.
Alongside Grid, the introduction of Buzz helps teams create branded content at scale. Buzz allows users to copy designs from Figma, apply brand templates, and create hundreds of assets instantly using spreadsheet data. AI tools like background removal and image generation make it faster to produce marketing visuals while staying on-brand. With Buzz’s edit restrictions, teams can lock key brand elements while still offering creative flexibility to users.
Figma Sites and Make Make Web Building Accessible for All
Sites is the company’s big move into no-code website creation. Users can copy designs directly from Figma into Sites, choose from over 50 templates, and build responsive web pages using blocks and design system assets. With built-in breakpoints and preconfigured interactions like scroll parallax or marquee, designers can preview and publish live websites right from the canvas.
It Makes, an AI-powered tool that transforms a design frame or a prompt into a live, functional prototype. This means teams can move from static wireframe to interactive app in minutes. Designers can prompt the system, edit layouts or components, and even dive into the underlying code. It’s a seamless way to go from a creative idea to a working prototype or even a live web app—perfect for startups and rapid MVP builders.
