Dev Mode is a dedicated space in Figma where developers can inspect designs, extract specs, and translate them into code—without leaving the canvas or altering the original design file.Stop switching between tools. Dev Mode brings design context, specs, and assets directly into your development workflow—so you can build faster, with fewer handoff errors.
Turn Figma designs into accurate code with the Figma MCP server. It brings Figma context directly into agentic coding tools, like VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and Claude, for a more efficient workflow.
With features designed to simplify code inspection and highlight what's ready for development, your workflow will be smoother than ever.
See when a frame or component was last edited, or open version history to compare design changes side-by-side.
Inspect component properties like color codes and token values, check spacing, and copy and paste code to speed up your development process.
Click into the Ready for dev view to see designs that are marked as ready for development. You can also click on specific components to isolate them in Focus view.
Work in an environment you already know and love with the VS Code extension—less screen switching and more coding.
Dev Mode gives you the power to build consistent, reusable designs and seamlessly link them to your codebase using Code Connect.
Code Connect lets you instantly generate ready-to-use snippets by linking your codebase with your existing design system in Figma.
The Component playground lets you view all possible component variations, see how they behave, and even gives you the code to implement. All you have to do is choose the best option.
Stay on-brand and save time by using existing variables—or token values—with corresponding code syntaxes in Figma. This makes it easy to keep things consistent across your applications.
Features like status updates, comments, and annotations keep you on the same page with designers throughout your build.
Get notified of design changes in real-time so you're never building based on outdated information. The Ready for dev view provides a clear summary of what's ready to build, what's changed, and what's done.
Scan through annotations and comments from designers to get a clear understanding of what you need to build.
Designers can add measurements to help you quickly visualize spacing and sizing, so nothing gets lost in translation as you go from design to code.

Figma Dev Mode is a developer-focused workspace within Figma, accessible via the right panel of any Figma file. It allows developers to easily inspect design specifications, check component properties, copy code, and access contextual information directly in their preferred development tools — like VS Code — without modifying the design file, enabling a seamless design-to-code workflow.
Dev Mode is included in both Full seats and dedicated Dev seats. For developers who only need to view and export, Figma offers a more cost-effective standalone seat option.
Natively supported: CSS, SwiftUI, UIKit, Compose, and XML. You can extend code generation to any custom framework via codegen plugins.
Absolutely not. Dev Mode is a read-only environment, designed to provide maximum development convenience while protecting your design assets.
