What is Figma Make?
Figma Make is an AI tool from Figma that turns prompts into interactive designs. It’s designed for rapid exploration, allowing teams to quickly visualize ideas and flows.
How to Use Figma Make with Prototype Testing
If you would like to use Optimal's prototype testing, the Figma Make experience will need to be recreated as a classic Figma prototype in Figma Design.
Figma allows you to copy designs from a Figma Make preview into Figma Design. This lets you edit the design and prepare it for prototype testing.
How it works:
Open your Figma Make preview.
Copy the design into Figma Design as editable layers.
Recreate interactions and connections using the Prototype tab in Figma.

Copy a Figma Make preview as design layers
Important: When layers are copied from Figma Make into Figma Design, they are not interactive by default. You’ll need to add all interactions before launching a prototype test in Optimal.
How to Use Figma Make with Live Site Testing
If your Figma Make link is publicly accessible, Optimal's live site testing can be a good alternative for qualitative research.
Live site testing works best when:
You want to observe user behavior, understanding, or decision-making
You don’t need frame-level success metrics or prototype analytics
You’re comfortable gathering insights from session recordings instead of automated success tracking.
How to get started:
Copy and paste your public Figma Make URL into a Live Site task in an Optimal live site test. Learn more about Optimal's live site testing and how to get started.
