Figma is expanding its AI capabilities with four new image manipulation tools now rolling out across FigJam, Buzz, and Slides. The features allow users to expand images, isolate objects, erase unwanted elements, and convert raster images to vectors without leaving their workspace.
The company announced the rollout on LinkedIn, positioning the tools as enhancements to its collaborative design ecosystem. While Figma did not provide specific technical details about the underlying AI models or partnerships powering these features, the addition signals a continued investment in AI-assisted workflows across its product suite.
What the New Tools Do
The four AI image tools target common editing tasks that previously required external software or manual workarounds:
- Expand image: Extends the canvas beyond an image's original borders, generating contextually appropriate fill content
- Isolate object: Automatically separates a subject from its background, creating clean cutouts for composition work
- Erase object: Removes unwanted elements from an image and fills the space intelligently
- Vectorize image: Converts raster graphics into editable vector paths, useful for logos and illustrations that need to scale
These capabilities mirror tools available in standalone image editors like Canva and Adobe products, but integrated directly into Figma's collaborative environment. The vectorization feature is particularly notable for design teams working with client-provided raster assets that need conversion for production use.
Figma has been steadily building out its AI feature set over recent months, following previous updates that included design assistance and code generation capabilities. The company also recently integrated GitHub Copilot to bridge design and development workflows.
Availability and Rollout
The tools are currently rolling out to users of FigJam, Buzz, and Slides, though Figma has not specified whether they require specific subscription tiers or are available to all users. The phased rollout suggests the features may still be in limited release as the company gathers usage data and feedback.
For teams already using Figma's ecosystem, the new tools reduce context switching by keeping image editing tasks within the same interface used for design collaboration. This is especially relevant for remote teams working in FigJam whiteboards or creating presentation decks in Slides, where quick image adjustments previously meant jumping to external tools.
The timing of this release comes as design platforms increasingly compete on AI features. Tools like Framer and Webflow have also introduced AI-assisted design capabilities, while no-code builders like Lovable have pushed AI generation into full application development.
Figma has not announced pricing changes associated with these features or detailed whether usage limits apply to the AI-powered tools. Teams interested in the new capabilities can check their FigJam, Buzz, and Slides applications for availability as the rollout continues.
