Figma is launching three new AI-powered creative tools to help users edit their images without jumping to another platform. The new tools are available in Figma Design and Figma Draw, and can be used to quickly remove objects from an image, isolate objects so they can be repositioned, and extend images beyond their previous dimensions.
The Erase object and Isolate object tools are designed to work alongside Figma’s existing lasso tool, which allows users to draw around specific sections of the image they want to edit. Any objects or people within these selections can then be instantly erased from the image while filling in the background behind them, or separated from the background layer to reposition or edit them directly.
The Expand image tool expands the background of an image to fit new aspect ratios “without distortion,” according to Figma. It sounds similar to Adobe’s Generative Expand tool for Photoshop, using generative AI to fill the extended space in a way that blends into the original image. Adobe also has similar AI tools for erasing and isolating objects — Figma doesn’t size up to the vast suite of creative tools available across Adobe’s apps, but introducing its own native features gives Figma users fewer reasons to use other platforms for those editing requirements.
Figma is also launching a new image editing toolbar to house these editing features in one place, alongside existing capabilities like the Remove background tool. These new features are available to Figma users with “Full Seat” access, which is the subscription tier required to unlock all of Figma’s design products. Next year, Figma says it plans to make the new editing tools available across other apps within its platform.
