For years, image editing meant switching between multiple tools. Designers created layouts in Figma, edited visuals in Photoshop, exported assets, and imported them back into their designs whenever changes were needed. Although this workflow was familiar, it slowed iteration and interrupted the creative process.


AI-powered design tools are changing that. Features like Figma Weave Tools let designers remove backgrounds, expand images, adjust aspect ratios, insert logos, and generate new visual variations directly on the Figma canvas. By eliminating the need to jump…
