Figma Rolls Out AI Image Tools Across FigJam, Buzz, and Slides.

Figma is bringing AI-powered image editing to more of its product suite. The design platform announced that four new AI image tools are rolling out across FigJam, Buzz, and Slides, letting users manipulate visuals directly within their collaborative workflows.

The tools include expand image, isolate object, erase object, and vectorize image. Each addresses a specific pain point in visual work: expanding images to fill different aspect ratios, pulling subjects from backgrounds, removing unwanted elements, and converting raster images to editable vectors.

The rollout extends AI capabilities beyond Figma's core design canvas. FigJam users can now clean up whiteboard visuals without switching apps. Teams using Buzz for marketing review can isolate product shots or expand hero images on the fly. Slides users gain the ability to vectorize logos and diagrams for scalable presentations.

Expand image uses generative fill to extend photo boundaries, useful when a composition needs to fit a different frame. Isolate object extracts subjects with automatic background removal. Erase object removes elements while filling the gap intelligently. Vectorize image converts bitmap graphics to scalable vector formats, eliminating the need for external conversion tools.

The timing follows Figma's reintroduction of Weave with templates for image and video workflows, and its expansion of Make to support 30+ file types. The company has been steadily building AI features into different parts of its platform rather than concentrating them in a single product.

The move addresses a common workflow friction: jumping between tools for basic image tasks. Design teams often export to Photoshop for object removal, use separate vectorization services, or crop and extend images in dedicated apps. Embedding these capabilities directly into FigJam, Buzz, and Slides keeps work in one environment.

For Buzz specifically, which recently launched approvals for marketing workflows, the AI tools let reviewers make quick asset adjustments during the approval process instead of sending feedback back to designers.

Figma has not specified exact availability timelines beyond "rolling out," but the features appear to be entering gradual release. The announcement came via a brief LinkedIn post without an accompanying blog post or detailed documentation, suggesting the rollout may still be in early stages.

The AI image tools join a growing set of intelligent features across Figma's platform. As design tools increasingly compete on AI capabilities, Figma's approach distributes functionality across its product line rather than bundling everything into a single AI assistant or plugin. Whether that strategy proves more useful than competitors offering centralized AI workspaces remains to be seen as teams adopt these tools in production workflows.
