If you are a designer, you probably already know that in this world there are two types of people: those who want to reinvent the wheel and those who find clever shortcuts. If you're reading this, congratulations, because you're about to discover one of those shortcuts: Figma Community.
Figma Community is not just a platform; it's a meeting point where designers from all over the world share their best tricks, tools and resources.

Figma Community en 2026: prueba y adapta proyectos de Figma Make
El atajo se pone todavรญa mรกs interesante: Figma Community tambiรฉn incluye proyectos de Figma Make, con prototipos funcionales y aplicaciones web que puedes probar y adaptar. Si encuentras una interacciรณn que encaja con tu idea, puedes usarla como punto de partida y pedir cambios con IA. Vamos, que ademรกs de encontrar inspiraciรณn, puedes empezar a experimentar con algo que funciona.
Cรณmo hacer un remix paso a paso
- Explora un proyecto de Make en Community y prueba su versiรณn interactiva. Piensa quรฉ te sirve: el menรบ, un filtro, la navegaciรณn o la forma de presentar el contenido.
- Pulsa ยซRemixยป en la pรกgina del recurso y elige el equipo u organizaciรณn donde quieres trabajar. El proyecto se abrirรก en Figma Make.
- Personaliza el resultado con el chat de IA, seรฑalando elementos con la herramienta de ediciรณn o modificando el cรณdigo. Empieza con un cambio concreto para poder valorar el resultado.
- Prueba lo que has cambiado: revisa botones, enlaces, tamaรฑos de pantalla y estados vacรญos. Una demo bonita merece unos cuantos clics antes de enseรฑรกrsela a un cliente.
Por ejemplo, si partes de una galerรญa para preparar tu portfolio, puedes probar este prompt:
ยซAdapta esta galerรญa a un portfolio de diseรฑo grรกfico. Usa fondo marfil, texto oscuro y un color de acento coral. Aรฑade filtros de branding, editorial y diseรฑo web. Conserva la navegaciรณn actual y muestra los proyectos en una columna en mรณvil.ยป
Mi consejo: pide los cambios por tandas. Primero estructura, despuรฉs contenido y, por รบltimo, estilo. Asรญ te resulta mรกs fรกcil detectar quรฉ mejora el proyecto y quรฉ necesita otra vuelta.
Quรฉ conviene saber antes de empezar
- El acceso depende de tu plan y asiento. Figma Make estรก disponible para asientos Full de planes de pago; otros planes y asientos permiten probarlo. Comprueba las condiciones de tu cuenta antes de plantear todo el proyecto alrededor de Make.
- Un remix tiene lรญmites de publicaciรณn. Puedes compartir el archivo o publicar el resultado en la web, pero Figma no permite volver a publicar ese remix en Community.
- Algunos proyectos antiguos necesitan actualizarse. Si Make te pide actualizar el archivo al abrir un remix, sigue el proceso indicado. Figma ha renovado la base de estos archivos y el aviso puede aparecer cuando el creador aรบn no ha actualizado el original.
Puedes consultar las instrucciones y condiciones vigentes en las guรญas oficiales de Figma para hacer un remix y actualizar archivos de Make.
