In their own words
Figma Dev Mode
Figma Dev Mode gives developers a dedicated space to inspect design files and improve handoff from design to code. It exposes code snippets, component properties, structured layer data, annotations, measurements and variables. Developers can compare frame versions side by side to see changes over time. Code Connect maps design components to production components, while Figma’s MCP server supplies structured design context to AI agents generating design-informed code. Design layers can link to GitHub files, Jira tickets and Storybook stories. The Figma for VS Code extension can surface design-change notifications and provide IDE code autocomplete. Dev Mode requires a Full or Dev seat on a paid plan. Free viewers can still inspect basic design details, view measurements and properties, copy CSS, iOS and Android code, export assets and comment. Figma works in desktop browsers, with desktop apps for macOS and Windows and mobile apps for iOS and Android. The Professional Dev seat is $12 a month, billed monthly.
