Ever since we launched Figma’s new interface in beta last year, we’ve been making improvements based on your feedback.

Today, we’re making the leap. Now that our previous UI is no longer supported, we’ve moved everyone over to UI3.

We’re introducing Edit Image which allows users to make changes to an image using prompts, powered by gpt-image-1. Change backgrounds, move objects, and more. Free while in Beta but will become a paid feature when generally available. Limits may apply.

We’re adding a model picker to Make an Image in Figma Design so users can choose gpt-image-1, Gemini Imagen 3, or Titan V2

Additionally, we’ve also rolled out our AI beta to all Professional, Organization, and Enterprise plans. If you’re not seeing AI features, check that your Admin has your AI access toggle turned on.

Connected Projects makes it easy for freelancers and agencies on different Figma plans to collaborate seamlessly with clients. Work together to co-edit designs, and share resources like libraries - all while staying on your own Figma seat.

9 new design system updates just dropped for a faster workflow.

→ Go-to-main component shortcut – Jump to the source instantly, no extra clicks.

• Mac: Control + Option + Command + K
• Windows: Control + Alt + Shift + K

→ Hide & show variable paints – Declutter your workspace, focus on what matters.

→ Duplicate & copy styles – Speed up updates, no more starting from scratch.

And that’s not all! More fixes & improvements include:

• Improved UI component description
• Drag the variable modal from the entire header
• Variable changes auto-save
• Tooltips on component names
• Edit button now properly aligned
• Style window text overflow improvement

April Fun Day

Introducing FigPals! This year's April Fun Day treat comes in the form of FigPals: little icons that you can customize and attach to your cursor to keep you company while you work. See collaborators' FigPals on your toolbar, or turn them off entirely. This will be available for a limited time.

Collapse Layers

We've added a new entry point to the layers panel to quickly collapse all layers. If you have an object selected, all layers will collapse except for the layer tree of your selection. With nothing selected, all layers will collapse!

Inline corner radius

Adjusting the corner radius of a shape now requires one less click. After you've set a corner radius, the controls to manipulate the radii will appear inline in the properties panel for faster tweaking when you have an object with corner radius selected.

Auto flyouts for effect, fill, and layout grid

Now when you add a new effect, fill, or layout grid, Figma will automatically open the settings flyouts so you can quickly select the effect, fill, or grid type you want, saving you a click.

File browser updates

We updated the file browser to create a more consistent and seamless experience as you use Figma products.

• Updated file cards make it easier to scan and find files at a glance.
• Card designs for workspaces, teams, and projects are now consistent with the editor, making navigation more intuitive.
• Additional improvements include updating iconography, aligning UI components to the Editor, improving organization, and making the file browser more efficient to use.

3rd party shapes in FigJam

We've added AWS, Google Cloud Platform, Azure, and Kubernetes icon sets to FigJam, so you can create more accurate visualizations of your cloud architecture faster.

• Choose from 1,700+ new icons in the shapes sidebar
• Pinpoint the exact icon you need with search
• Drag and drop icons onto the canvas

Reorder modes and Collections

We’re introducing the ability to rearrange modes and collections, allowing users to set their preferred order without deleting or recreating. This update ensures that:

• Modes stay intact when reordered, preventing resets or broken dependencies.
• Default modes can be adjusted without disrupting existing setups.
• Users can organize collections and modes in a way that makes sense for them.

Annotations in editor and categories

New improvements to our annotations capability, including:

• No more switching between modes, annotations and measurements can now be created in the editor.
• New color-coded categories for annotations making them easier to organize and navigate.

Accessibility contrast information in color picker

The Figma color picker now includes accessibility contrast information, features include:

• Offering color contrast information in the Figma color picker
• Checking contrast ratio for WCAG standards of normal text, large text, and graphics
• Auto-detecting the category for foreground colors and auto-detecting the background
• Supporting WCAG level AA and AAA
• Auto-correcting a color to pass a contrast check

Eyedropper added to Dev Mode toolbar

The eyedropper is now available on the Dev Mode tool. Use it to to copy both raw color values, variables, and code syntax.

We’re introducing a new shimmery animation for AI-generated interaction arrows in "add Interactions." This subtle visual cue makes it easier to spot newly generated connections at a glance that were made with the AI prototyping tool, “add interactions” vs. manually adding connectors.

We updated the file browser to create a more consistent and seamless experience as you use Figma products.

• Updated file cards make it easier to scan and find files at a glance.

• Card designs for workspaces, teams, and projects are now consistent with the editor, making navigation more intuitive.
• Additional improvements include updating iconography, aligning UI components to the Editor, improving organization, and making the file browser more efficient to use.
