.@figma just dropped a bunch of updates at Config 2025, and WOW, they’ve been listening to us! 👇

🖍️ Draw tools FigJam was great for quick sketches, wireframes, and team alignment since 2021, but it always felt separate from the main design flow. Now, Draw mode bring that functionality directly into Figma Design files! Excited to try it out!

🖋️ Enhanced vector editing Figma’s now used beyond UI, by graphic designers and illustrators too. The community has long wanted better vector tools, and now we’ve got them: lasso, shape builder, multi-edit, and more for precise, detailed illustrations.

🤩 Text on a path No more hacky plugins, now you can place text on any path directly in Figma.

🖼️ Fills and effects Now you can add generative texture details to vector, directly in Figma. More creative flexibility, no need for PNG textures when SVG does the job!

🔁 Transformations Another simple and powerful graphic tool to cut down on repetitive manual work.

▦ Grid Auto Layout in Figma worked like CSS Flexbox, great for most UI needs. But now, Figma also supports CSS-style Grid layouts for more complex designs. Excited to try it out!

🐝 Figma Buzz New tools to speed up and automate branding and marketing asset creation. Haven’t explored it much yet, but it definitely feels like Figma’s answer to Canva. The race is on:)

🌐 Figma Sites Figma enters a new space, competing with Framer and Webflow. You can now publish designs as live websites, with CMS features coming soon. It may take time to mature, but the gap between design and code is clearly closing. Exciting times!
