Figma: AI Image Tools Expanded to FigJam, Slides, and Buzz
FigmaFigma expanded its suite of AI-powered image editing tools — Expand, Erase, Isolate, and Vectorize — to three additional product surfaces: FigJam, Figma Slides, and Figma Buzz. Previously available only in Figma Design and Draw (since December 2025), these tools now allow teams to refine imagery across the full breadth of Figma collaboration, presentation, and marketing asset workflows without leaving the platform. The rollout eliminates the need to export images to external editors for common tasks like object removal, background extension, subject isolation, and raster-to-vector conversion, whether those tasks arise during a FigJam brainstorm, a Slides deck build, or a Buzz brand asset production run.
Key Takeaways
- Figma AI image editing tools now span the full product suite — Design, Draw, FigJam, Slides, and Buzz — making it possible to handle object removal, background extension, isolation, and vectorization without leaving any Figma surface.
- All four tools are prompt-free, relying on lasso selection rather than text input, which makes them accessible to non-designer collaborators in FigJam planning sessions and Buzz brand workflows.
- Vectorize is not available in FigJam — it is limited to Figma Slides and Buzz (plus the existing Design and Draw availability), a distinction worth noting for teams who expected full parity across all surfaces.
- Figma Buzz offers the broadest access: during beta, all four tools are available to every seat type with no plan restriction, making Buzz the easiest place for teams to test these capabilities.
- The December 2025 launch in Figma Design was praised for eliminating Photoshop round-trips; this expansion applies the same productivity argument to collaboration (FigJam) and presentation (Slides) contexts where image polish is often done last-minute.
- Plan requirements vary meaningfully by surface: FigJam and Slides require paid plans with AI credits enabled, while Buzz beta status grants universal access — teams on free plans can still access these tools through Buzz.

AI Image Editing Tools Come to FigJam, Figma Slides, and Figma Buzz
Figma extended four AI-powered image editing tools to additional products in its suite on March 30, 2026, making these capabilities available directly inside FigJam, Figma Slides, and Figma Buzz. Previously exclusive to Figma Design and Figma Draw — where they launched in December 2025 — the tools now reach the collaboration, presentation, and brand asset surfaces that many Figma users spend significant time in.
The Four Tools
Expand image lets users extend an image beyond its original borders, filling in the newly created space with AI-generated content that matches the surrounding context. This is particularly useful for adapting a product shot or hero image to a new aspect ratio without distorting the original subject — turning a square image into a widescreen banner for a Slides presentation, for example, or giving a FigJam mood board image more breathing room.
Erase object allows users to lasso any object within an image and remove it completely. The AI reconstructs the background behind the erased element, producing a natural-looking result rather than leaving a blank patch. Teams working on brainstorm boards in FigJam or building branded assets in Buzz no longer need to export an image to a separate editing application just to clean up an unwanted element.
Isolate object separates a selected subject from its background so it can be repositioned, resized, or layered independently. This opens up lightweight compositing workflows — pulling a product off its background to float it over a slide, or extracting a person from a photo for a Buzz marketing asset — without ever leaving the Figma environment.
Vectorize image converts a raster image into editable vector paths. This tool is available in Figma Slides and Figma Buzz (it was already available in Figma Design and Draw, and is not included in the FigJam expansion). The ability to vectorize directly inside Slides or Buzz means a scanned logo, hand-drawn sketch, or JPEG illustration can become a fully scalable, editable vector as part of the same workflow where it will be used.
Why This Matters
The December 2025 launch of these tools in Figma Design was well-received precisely because it reduced the need to round-trip images through Photoshop or other dedicated editors for minor tweaks. The March 30 expansion makes the same argument across the rest of Figma product lineup.
FigJam is where cross-functional teams brainstorm, diagram, and plan — a surface where polished visuals have historically been secondary. Bringing Expand, Erase, and Isolate here means a design review session or sprint planning board can incorporate cleaned-up imagery without breaking the collaborative flow. Figma Slides serves stakeholder presentations; having full image editing tools available there means the last-mile polish of a deck no longer requires a detour outside Figma. And Figma Buzz, still in beta, is built specifically for marketing teams producing brand assets at scale — a context where image editing is central to the work, not incidental.
Crucially, all four tools are prompt-free. They operate through direct lasso selection and canvas gestures rather than text descriptions, which makes them accessible to non-designers and collaborators who may not be comfortable with generative AI interfaces. This is especially relevant in FigJam and Buzz, where the user base extends well beyond professional designers.
Availability and Requirements
In FigJam, Expand, Erase, and Isolate are available to Full, Dev, and Collab seats on paid plans with AI enabled. Vectorize is not included in the FigJam expansion. In Figma Slides, all four tools — including Vectorize — are available on Professional, Organization, or Enterprise plans with AI enabled for Full, Dev, or Collab seats. In Figma Buzz, all four tools are available to all seat types while the product remains in beta, making Buzz the most broadly accessible surface for experimenting with these capabilities regardless of subscription tier.
