So here’s something I didn’t expect to get excited about on a Monday morning: Figma and Anthropic just dropped [Code to Canvas](https://www.figma.com/blog/introducing-claude-code-to-figma/), a feature that lets you take code generated in Claude Code and push it straight into Figma as fully editable design layers. Not a screenshot. Not a flat image. Actual, manipulable design elements you can tweak, rearrange, and hand off like any other Figma frame.

The way it works is almost stupidly simple. You’re building a UI in Claude Code, you get something that looks right, and you type “Send this to Figma.” That’s it. The integration grabs the live browser state, translates the rendered interface into proper Figma layers, and drops it onto your canvas. Under the hood, this runs on Figma’s [MCP Server](https://github.com/figma/mcp-server-guide), which acts as a bridge between Claude Code and Figma’s design environment. And because the connection is bidirectional, you can also pull design context back into your coding workflow, so nothing gets lost in translation.

What makes this genuinely interesting is the problem it solves. We’ve had “design to code” tools for years, but the reverse direction has always been a mess. Developers build something functional with AI, and then designers have to squint at a deployed page and rebuild it manually in Figma just to iterate on it. That friction is real, and it slows teams down. Figma CEO Dylan Field put it well when he said that in a world where AI can build anything you describe, the real work becomes finding the best solution “in a nearly infinite possibility space.” Code to Canvas gives teams a way to actually do that, comparing AI-generated UI options side by side on the canvas and making design decisions together.

The timing here is worth noting too. This dropped just [one day before Figma’s earnings report](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/17/figma-anthropic-ai-code-designs.html), and the coverage has been everywhere, from [CNBC](https://www.cnbc.com/2026/02/17/figma-anthropic-ai-code-designs.html) to [Dataconomy](https://dataconomy.com/2026/02/18/figma-and-anthropic-launch-code-to-canvas-for-ai-design-editing/) to active threads on Hacker News and Reddit. The discussion on HN has been particularly spicy, with some designers questioning whether this is the right direction and others arguing it finally closes the loop between prototyping and production.

I’ve been playing around with it for a bit, and honestly, the output quality surprised me. The layers come in clean enough that you’re not spending twenty minutes ungrouping and renaming things. Is it perfect? No. Complex components with heavy custom styling can get a little messy. But for rapidly getting an AI-built interface into a state where a design team can actually work with it, this is the most practical solution I’ve seen. If your team is already using Claude Code for front-end work, this is a no-brainer to try.
