Figma: Make Attachments — File Context for AI Prompts
FigmaFigma launched Make attachments, allowing users to attach files directly to any Figma Make prompt either as contextual references or as real assets to use in the prototype. Supported formats include PDFs, markdown, code files (TSX, JS, CSS), CSVs, JSON datasets, images (JPEG, PNG, GIF), videos (MP4, MP3), and SVGs. Attachments function in two modes: as context (Make reads PRDs, brand guidelines, or docs while generating) or as content (real images and media are incorporated directly instead of placeholders). The feature shipped on April 2, 2026 alongside Make kits as part of Figma's push to make AI prototyping grounded in real project materials.
Key Takeaways
- Make attachments eliminate the copy-paste workflow — users can attach entire PRDs, brand guidelines, and code files directly to a Make prompt rather than summarizing them.
- Attachments work in two modes: as context (files Make references during generation) and as content (real assets Make incorporates into the prototype output).
- Nine supported file types cover the full product workflow: PDF, markdown, code (TSX/JS/CSS), CSV, JSON, JPEG, PNG, GIF, MP4, MP3, and SVG.
- Real images replace placeholders — by attaching brand imagery or product screenshots as content, generated prototypes use actual assets from day one.
- Attachments and Make kits are complementary — kits provide design system grounding at the org level; attachments provide project-specific context at the session level.
- Launched April 2, 2026 on paid plans, shipping simultaneously with Make kits as part of a broader push to make AI generation production-aligned.

Make Attachments: Bring Real Project Context Into AI Generation
Figma released Make attachments on April 2, 2026, as a companion feature to Make kits. While Make kits address design system grounding at the organizational level, Make attachments solve a different problem: giving Make access to the actual context, documents, and assets that shape a specific project.
The Problem Attachments Solve
Before attachments, getting real project context into a Make prompt meant summarizing documents, copy-pasting text, or manually describing existing assets in a chat prompt. This was lossy, slow, and prone to important details being omitted. Attachments remove that friction entirely — the source material goes directly into Make rather than a paraphrased version of it.
Two Modes of Attachment
Make attachments work in two fundamentally different ways:
As context — Attach source materials that Make should reference while generating:
- Product requirements documents (PRDs)
- Brand guidelines and style guides
- Code files (TSX, JS, CSS, and more)
- Markdown documentation
- CSV and JSON data files
- Screenshots of existing designs or competitor products
When a file is attached as context, Make reads and applies it during generation — no re-prompting, no copy-pasting content manually.
As content — Attach actual assets that Make should use inside the prototype:
- Images (JPEG, PNG, GIF)
- Videos and audio files (MP4, MP3)
- SVGs
When images or media are attached as content, Make incorporates them directly into the generated prototype as real assets rather than placeholder rectangles or stock imagery.
Why This Matters
The combination of context and content attachments means a designer can now bring a PRD, a spreadsheet of product data, brand assets, and competitor screenshots into a single Make session — attach all of them to a prompt — and receive a prototype that reflects the project's actual constraints, real data, and genuine visuals rather than a generic starting point.
Relationship to Make Kits
Make attachments and Make kits are complementary. Make kits operate at the organization level — they define the design system foundation once for everyone. Make attachments operate at the session level — they give a specific prototype the project-specific context it needs. Together they represent Figma's effort to make AI generation a legitimate starting point for real product work rather than just a rapid ideation exercise.
Availability
Make attachments rolled out on April 2, 2026, alongside Make kits, available to users on paid Figma plans.
