Figma, one of the world’s most popular platforms in design and user interface, took a historic step on July 31, 2025: the company officially went public with an IPO on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) under the symbol “FIG.” This marked one of the rare successful IPOs in the tech sector in recent years. An IPO (Initial Public Offering) refers to a company offering its shares to the public for the first time. In other words, the company allows not only its owners or selected investors but also all interested parties—the general public—to buy its shares.
Investor interest in Figma’s IPO was very high. The shares were initially offered at $33 each, exceeding previous expectations and valuing the company at approximately $19.3 billion. Through this process, Figma raised over $1.22 billion in funding, laying the foundation for a new stage in the world of design and technology.
Alongside the IPO, Figma introduced new products and features to its users. During the “Config 2025” event held in spring 2025, the integration of artificial intelligence technologies into the Figma ecosystem was showcased. Several key innovations attracted attention during this event:
Figma Make
This new tool allows users to create designs, interfaces, and prototypes by giving natural language commands. For example, by simply typing a command like “Design a blue login page and add a registration form,” Figma Make visually executes the task on your behalf. This makes interface creation accessible even for users without design skills.
- Figma Sites
Designs created on Figma can now be published directly as functional websites. This tool greatly expands “no-code” website building capabilities, making it an ideal choice especially for startups, small businesses, and non-profit organizations.
- Figma Buzz
This AI-powered marketing tool is designed to generate advertising content, headlines, and user-focused texts. It offers new opportunities for social media managers and marketers.
- Figma Draw
The new vector drawing tool, Draw, provides more creative and flexible design options. Designers can now express themselves with fewer technical limitations.
Updated Features and Improved Usability
The new tools Figma has introduced not only enrich the existing design experience but also provide improvements in the following areas:
- Mobile Preview: Instantly check how your interfaces will appear on mobile devices.
- Code History: Track the stages of AI-generated code development.
- “Add All” Option: Quickly add templates and design elements.
- Forms and Social Media Integration: Directly embed elements from various platforms such as YouTube, Spotify, Instagram, etc., into websites.
Experts believe that in the coming years, Figma will continue to grow, strengthening its competition with Adobe and becoming a leading force in “no-code” technologies.
