In a strategic move to expand its creative platform, Figma announced its acquisition of Weavy, a browser-based generative AI and professional editing solution that now joins Figma under the name “Figma Weave”. With this integration, Figma will deliver expanded capabilities in image, video, animation, motion design and VFX on a unified canvas. Figma explains that “AI is making it easier for anyone to take their ideas further, but we believe the first prompt is the creative starting point rather than the final destination,” adding that “the combination of human craft alongside AI generation unlocks more expression and a bolder point of view.” Weavy’s node-based design enables creators to combine outputs from leading AI models (such as Seedance, Sora, Veo for cinematic video; Flux and Ideogram for realism; Nano-Banana or Seedream for precision) with hands-on editing tools (for example lighting adjustments, object masking and color-grading) to establish a flexible media pipeline where each result can feed into the next. Weavy’s community spanning independent creatives, startups and enterprise teams already uses the platform for applications ranging from architectural staging images to VFX for video games, television and film, and today’s announcement confirms Weavy, founded in Tel Aviv in 2024, will bring that same inventive environment to Figma’s global ecosystem.

Looking ahead, Figma emphasises that combining Weavy’s editing-first approach with its collaborative design platform will further support teams moving from ideation to execution under one roof. The blog highlights that Weavy’s team led by founders Lior, Itay, Jonathan and Jonathan bring deep expertise in visual effects, animation and creative production, aligning closely with Figma’s “maker spirit” and community-first design philosophy. By integrating human artistry and intelligent systems under the banner of “artistic intelligence,” Figma believes this acquisition will allow its users to “push the limits of their craft.” The move also demonstrates Figma’s clear ambition to evolve beyond traditional UI/UX design into full-spectrum media creation enabling teams not only to design digital products but to generate, refine and scale creative content directly within its collaborative platform.
