Figma has expanded on-canvas AI access to verified Education users, effective immediately. The rollout adds tools across four categories: image editing (make image, remove background, vectorize, prompt-based editing, area erase), text manipulation (replace content, rename layers, translate text, autosuggest), FigJam AI (templates, diagrams, summarize), and Slides AI (presenter notes, tone dial). Education users already had Figma Make; this fills in the rest of the toolkit.
The video walks through specific workflows in under five minutes, including remove background, edit with prompt, image area select and erase, translate to, and duplicate and replace content. Each demo is timestamped, making this a functional reference, not just a feature announcement. The translate and duplicate-replace workflows in particular show practical utility for students building multilingual or content-heavy presentations.
Access is live now for verified Figma for Education accounts, directly on the canvas with no separate tool required. The open question is whether feature parity with paid tiers is complete or if further rollout is staged. If you work in design education or teach tools-based curricula, the timestamps in the original video are the fastest path to evaluating what is actually usable today.
