Design tool Figma Today it launched new AI-powered photo editing features, including the ability to remove objects, isolate them, and expand images.
The company said that these features will save the hassle of exporting images to other tools for editing and importing them again. She added that creation templates like Nano Banana are good for creating images, but users often need precise editing tools that work without any text prompts.
Figma has improved its lasso tool for selection. You can now use it to select, remove, or isolate an object to move it. As you move around the object, the image still retains other properties, such as background and color. Users can also select an object to adjust factors such as lighting, shadow, color, or focus.
The company also provides an image expansion feature to its design suite. This feature is useful when you are modifying an ad creative for a specific format and need to fill in the background or other details. For example, create a web logo or mobile logo from a 1×1 image. It basically saves you from constantly cropping the image and adjusting the elements within it.
Besides adding these features, Figma is collecting all of its image editing tools into one toolbar for easy access. You can select objects or parts of images, change the background color, and add annotations or text using this toolbar. The company said that background removal is one of the most popular actions on the platform, which is why it has a prominent place on the new toolbar.
Competitors like Adobe and Canvas The object has been removed for a few years now. Figma is finally starting to catch up by offering these features.
The company said the new image editing features are available in Figma Design and Draw, with plans to make them available via Figma tools next year.
Figma’s launch comes on the same day as Adobe’s launch Make some of these features available to users within ChatGPT. Figma was one of the app’s launch partners, approaching ChatGPT in October. It is not clear whether these new functions will be available to users using Figma within the OpenAI tool.
