About Figma code layers

Figma Code Layers is an innovative extension that seamlessly integrates code, design, and specifications directly within the Figma canvas. It allows designers and developers to work collaboratively by embedding live code next to their designs, making it easier to visualize, compare, and iterate on both design and development aspects in one unified space. Users can generate code from various sources such as a frame, a GitHub repository, a webpage via a Chrome extension, or through the Figma agent, providing multiple flexible options for code integration. Additionally, the platform enables users to convert code states back into editable design layers, fostering a dynamic and iterative workflow. Figma Specs further enrich the canvas by adding detailed design and technical requirements, while Payload connects real data to Make, enhancing prototypes with real-world content. Currently in public beta, Figma Code Layers is tailored for teams seeking a more integrated and transparent design-to-development process.
