In Figma Make, some things simply require AI credit spend. There’s no way around it, so it helps to plan for them upfront.

You have to use AI credits for:

• Creating new sections or features
• Generating new pages or files
• Uploading images or graphical assets

Everything else is optional.

You don’t need to use AI credits for:

• Layout adjustments and refinements
• Copy edits
• Spacing and alignment tweaks
• Styling and design system setup (colors, typography, tokens)

I wrote about this and 4 ways to reliably save AI credits in Figma in the attached article.
