Figma Adds Direct File Attachments to Make
Figma has resolved long-standing attachment issues in Make, its AI-powered design feature, and is now rolling out support for more than 30 file types. Teams can attach documents, data files, media, and code directly into their design workflows, moving beyond placeholder content to work with real inputs from the start.
The update, announced on LinkedIn, addresses a critical gap in how designers collaborate with developers and content teams. Previously, designers often worked with static mockups or placeholder text, requiring manual updates when final assets arrived. With native attachment support, teams can now pull in spreadsheets, JSON files, videos, images, and code snippets directly into Make, ensuring designs reflect actual data and content constraints from the outset.
What This Changes for Design Workflows
The expanded file support means designers no longer need to rely on separate tools to preview how real data will look in their interfaces. A product team designing a dashboard can attach a CSV of live metrics, a marketing team can drop in video assets to check playback UI, or developers can include code files to ensure component specs match implementation.
This builds on Figma's recent push to integrate more technical workflows into its platform. The company previously rolled out video playback on the design canvas and launched AI agent integration with MCP Tool, both aimed at reducing the friction between design and development.
File Types and Availability
Figma has not yet published a full list of supported formats, but the announcement specifies coverage across four broad categories: documents, data files, media, and code. This likely includes common formats like PDF, DOCX, CSV, JSON, MP4, PNG, and various code file extensions.
The rollout is underway now, with availability expanding across teams over the coming weeks. Users can check their Make settings to confirm when the feature becomes available in their workspace. Figma has directed teams to the official blog post for additional details and documentation.
For teams already using Make or Bubble for no-code automation and app building, this update reinforces a broader trend: design tools are becoming more capable of handling the full product development stack, not just visual output. As Figma continues to layer AI features and workflow automation into its platform, the line between design tool and product environment continues to blur.
