Figma AI

What is Figma AI?

Figma AI is a set of generative AI features built directly into the Figma design platform. Instead of relying on separate tools, designers can generate UI components from text prompts, write and refine copy, edit images, and tidy up their files without ever leaving the canvas. The goal is to remove repetitive production work so product teams can move faster from a rough idea to a polished, shareable mockup.

How does Figma AI work?

The AI features live inside the familiar Figma editor and are triggered through prompts, contextual menus, and quick actions. You describe what you want in plain language, and Figma generates a starting point you can then refine with the same vector, layout, and component tools you already use.

Because the AI works on top of your existing frames and layers, the output stays editable. Generated designs, text, and layer changes become normal Figma objects, so nothing is locked into a black box and your team keeps full control over the result.

Core features

• Design generation — Turn a text prompt into a draft UI or layout to jump-start a screen instead of starting from a blank canvas.
• AI copywriting — Generate, rewrite, shorten, or translate text inside frames so designs are filled with realistic content rather than placeholder text.
• Background removal — Strip the background from images in a single click, directly within Figma.
• Automatic layer renaming — Bulk-rename messy layers into clear, descriptive names to keep files organized and handoff-ready.
• Visual search — Find similar frames, components, and assets across your files to reuse existing work.

Use cases

Teams reach for Figma AI to speed up early exploration, populate prototypes with believable content, prepare assets for handoff, and clean up large, fast-moving design files. It is most valuable for repetitive, time-consuming tasks that sit between having an idea and producing a clean deliverable.

Who is it for?

Figma AI is aimed at UI/UX designers and cross-functional product teams who already work inside Figma. If your design process lives in Figma and you want to cut time spent on production busywork, these built-in AI features fit naturally into your existing workflow.
