Weave meets Figma on the canvas
Figma is closing the gap between design and AI-powered creative production. The company announced today that Weave's node-based workflows—acquired last year—are now surfacing inside Figma Design, and that Weave workflows can be published to and discovered through the Figma Community. A new Figma node for Weave, previewed at Config, will let designers pull frames from Figma into Weave as live inputs.
The goal is to make the process of generating and editing imagery, video, audio, and 3D as inspectable and repeatable as any other design workflow. Instead of translating between design files and a separate AI tool, the two can live side by side.
Weave tools in Figma Design
Starting today, more than 20 AI image tasks are available directly from Figma Design's left panel as Weave tools. Each tool is a pre-built Weave workflow packaged into a simple UI, covering tasks like style transfers, product shoots, material extraction, and art direction across a range of visual languages.
For designers who don't need to build a workflow from scratch, the tools are designed to produce consistent, production-quality results in a few clicks—no freeform prompt writing required. The workflow handles execution while the designer keeps creative direction.
Soon, any designer will be able to publish their own workflows as Weave tools in Figma. Define the logic once, share it with a team or the public, and the thinking behind it becomes reusable.
Weave tools are in open beta and free to use for the duration of the beta. Once generally available, they will consume Figma AI credits.
Sharing workflows through the Figma Community
Weave workflows—the sequences of steps and decisions behind creative output—can now be published to and discovered via the Figma Community. The publishing flow takes a few steps: open the Share menu in Weave, select "Publish to Figma Community," add a title, description, and category, upload a thumbnail, and publish the public template.
Like a component library, a shared workflow becomes something others can open, understand, adapt, and build on. The Community already hosts workflows for automated ads, multi-angle product shots, social motion systems, fashion visualizers, and character design sheets.
The Figma node: bringing frames into Weave
The Figma node works in the opposite direction from Weave tools. Previewed at Config, it will let designers paste any Figma frame directly onto the Weave canvas as a node, connected to upstream and downstream nodes in the workflow. Edits made to the frame in Figma will reflect in real time across the Weave workflow.
The implication is that a Figma frame becomes more than a finished artifact—it can act as a live input. A product layout could feed directly into a campaign, or a brand frame could power AI output at scale. Weave handles generation; Figma holds the design.
The company cites a practical example: a brand layout in Figma with typography, grid, and visual direction locked in, connected via the Figma node to a CSV of translated copy, generating localized versions for every region from a single design.
The Figma node is expected to launch later this summer.
