Figma Went All In at Config 2025 – Here’s What Blew My Mind

Last week, Figma's yearly event, Config 2025, took place, and you won't believe how incredible it was. I mean, Figma didn’t just casually drop a few updates—they straight-up launched a bunch of new tools that honestly blew my mind. And guess what? As a beta tester, I've been playing around with some of them, like Figma Draw, for a few weeks now. Let me spill all the details and give you my raw, unfiltered experience.

Figma Site

First up is Figma Site, a website builder that hooks directly into Figma Design. So, it's not just about mockups anymore—you can actually build and publish real, functioning websites straight from Figma. The UI? Super clean. If you’ve used Framer or Webflow before, you’ll feel right at home. But here’s the kicker: you can literally just type out animation prompts. Like, I’m talking "animate the text to fall like a feather," and boom—it just happens. No endless code tweaks, no guesswork. They even tossed in a built-in CMS, so managing content is actually smooth.

Figma Make

Next on the list is Figma Make—this one is wild. Think of it like AI-powered coding but baked directly into Figma. It's like Copilot but way more integrated. It’s powered by Anthropic’s Claude 3.7, and you can just prompt it with what you want, and it builds out interactive apps. I messed around with it to make a music player, and it spun up working components that I could actually tweak right there. It’s still in beta, but damn, the potential is nuts. Check out music player here. Also made this Mesh gradient generator.

Figma Buzz

For the marketing folks out there, Figma Buzz is about to change the game. It’s basically like Canva on steroids, fully tied into Figma’s ecosystem. Making brand-approved templates, social media posts, email blasts—you name it. And the AI? It can auto-generate images or even bulk-create thousands of designs from spreadsheet data. I played around with it, and the speed is unreal. Finally, I don’t have to jump between a million tools just to get stuff done.

Figma Draw

Now, let’s talk about Figma Draw. I’ve been using it for a bit now, and it’s basically Adobe Illustrator but inside Figma. No more switching apps. The brushes are smooth, vector tools are crisp, and it just fits into my workflow like it’s always been there. I was skeptical at first, but now I’m hooked. It’s fast, intuitive, and everything just clicks. I made lil cat illustration you can download here.

Final Thought

All in all, this wasn’t just another update. Figma’s coming for the whole design ecosystem—Framer, Webflow, Canva, Illustrator—you name it. If these tools keep evolving like this, I honestly think Figma’s going to be the go-to for everything from concept to launch. And honestly? I’m here for it.

That said, I see a lot of buzz around the internet about how Figma is going to kill Framer, Webflow, and all these other platforms. But honestly? I don’t think that’s entirely true. Even though Figma is building out these new tools, there’s still room for other platforms to thrive. Not everyone uses Figma for their everyday tasks. Some people just want a simple site builder and are loyal to Framer or Webflow—and they’re not going anywhere anytime soon.

Plus, let’s be real: just because Figma rolled out these new tools doesn’t mean they’re perfect right out of the gate. This is the start of a new ecosystem; building it out and perfecting it is going to take time. Sure, it’s exciting—but it’s not game over for the rest just yet. I’m just glad I won’t have to hunt for more tools when I want to do something other than design. Time will tell, but for now, I’m excited to see where this goes.
