Design platform Figma said today that it has acquired AI-powered image and video generation company Weavy<\/a>. The startup will join Figma under a new brand called Figma Weave.<\/p>\n

Figma said that 20 people from Weavy will join the company but didn\u2019t disclose the valuation of the deal. The Tel Aviv-based startup was founded in 2024 and raised $4 million in a seed round in June led by Entr\u00e9e Capital, with participation from Designer Fund, Founder Collective, and Fiverr founder Micha Kaufman.<\/p>\n

Figma said that Weavy will exist as a stand-alone product for now and that, in the future, it will be integrated with the Figma Weave brand, along with the rest of the Figma platform.<\/p>\n

Weavy\u2019s web tools enable users to combine different AI models and offer users pro editing tools to create high-quality images and videos for use in product mock-ups or brand styling. Users can edit these media generations with layer edits, adjust lighting, and change colors and angles through prompts to achieve the final result they want.<\/p>\n

Users start with an element like a prompt for an image generation on an infinite canvas, look at results from different models, pick one image, add another prompt for video generation, and look at different results produced by various models. At any point, users can use the edit tools to change the look of a video. Designers can also combine multiple prompts and models to get to the output they want.<\/p>\n

The startup offers different models such as Seedance, Sora, and Veo for video, and Flux, Ideogram, Nano Banana, and Seedream for image generation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis node-based approach brings a new level of craft and control to AI generation. Outputs can be branched, remixed, and refined, combining creative exploration with iteration and craft. The Weavy team has inspired us with the balance they\u2019ve struck between simplicity, approachability, and power. They\u2019ve also created a tool that\u2019s just a joy to use,\u201d Figma CEO Dylan Field said in a statement.<\/p>\n

AI-powered design platforms are in demand to create media generation and design workflow capabilities.

In April, Krea announced that it had raised $83 million across various rounds from firms like Bain Capital, a16z,<\/a> and Abstract Ventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Design platform Figma said today that it has acquired AI-powered image and video generation company Weavy.
