Figma
Figma’s AI image editing tools can now isolate or erase a selected object with one click. The update is available now in the macOS desktop app.
The workflow starts with an object inside an image. Select it, then choose whether to isolate that object or remove it. Figma introduced the two actions in a LinkedIn post, describing them as a “one click wonder”.
How Figma’s AI image editing tools work
The update adds two AI-assisted actions for selected objects:
| Action | What it does |
|---|---|
| Isolate | Separates the selected object from the rest of the image |
| Erase | Removes the selected object from the image |
Both actions begin with a selection. This makes the object, rather than the whole image, the target of the edit. The work happens inside Figma’s desktop app, alongside the designs that use the image.
For builders, the clearest use is preparing visual assets during a design session. An object can be isolated for use elsewhere in a file, or erased when it should no longer appear in the image.
This update follows other recent additions covered in What Figma Shipped in Early November, as Figma continues to add creation tools around its core product design workspace.
Availability on the macOS desktop app
The AI image editing tools are available now on Figma’s macOS desktop app. The announcement applies specifically to that app, so users need to open their file there to access the newly announced workflow.
No separate installation or external service is mentioned. The two available actions are isolate and erase, each applied after selecting an object in an image.
