Figma Partners with Google

Major partnership launched: In October 2025, Figma announced a groundbreaking integration—a strategic partnership with Google to add Gemini AI models directly into its popular design platform, raising the stakes in the global race for AI-powered creativity and workflows.
Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 2.0, Imagen 4 arrive in Figma: Not only will users access the full suite of Google’s newest generative AI models for faster, smarter work, but Figma’s 13 million monthly active users can now generate images, edit designs, and request changes using simple prompts—redefining what “real-time” and “collaborative” can mean in design.
Global rivalry with Canva & Adobe: This collaboration sends shockwaves through the web design ecosystem. Figma’s move signals an arms race where leading platforms (including Canva and Adobe Express) will offer generative AI via partnerships with major AI players.

Google Gemini’s landing inside Figma means commercial designers, startups, agencies, and students in India gain access to instant AI-powered features—from auto-completing wireframes to speed-editing hero images for ecommerce, with up to 50% lower latency.

What’s New: Figma’s Gemini Toolkit Explained

Make Image, now powered by Gemini 2.5 Flash: Figma’s fastest growing feature, Make Image, now integrates Gemini 2.5 Flash for instant image generation from text, style, and color prompts. In internal testing, “latency” dropped by over 50%, enabling live design sprints even for teams on basic laptops or smartphones.
In-app model switching & prompt design: Product designers can now select between Gemini 2.5 Flash (fastest), Gemini 2.0 (context-rich), or Imagen 4 (highest visual fidelity) for specific project needs. The model selector is as easy as changing fonts—no AI knowledge required.
Gemini AI for editing workflows: Auto-resize banners, fix backgrounds, and regenerate design cards with a single click. Teams save hours on repetitive edits and asset localizations for ecommerce, social media, and campaign launches.
Multi-language support: Figma Gemini is being deployed globally, with Hindi, Tamil, Bengali, and other major Indian languages in the roadmap. This enables localized creative for India’s fast-growing startup and SMB sectors.

The partnership also means Figma maintains its cloud relationship with Google, allowing seamless AI ops, scalable image storage, and secure enterprise sync for global teams.

Gemini vs Canva: India’s Design Platforms Go Fully AI

Figma vs Canva for Indian startups: With Gemini AI in Figma, web studios and campaign designers can generate hero images, edit product photos, and co-create prototypes within seconds, often outperforming Canva’s built-in models for speed and detail.
Demo results: Tests by Mumbai and Delhi agencies show Gemini’s image generation is up to 30% faster, more consistent with brand color prompts, and supports finer creative control. Canva remains popular for quick social assets, but Figma-Gemini leads for enterprise or complex briefs.
Integrations galore: Figma continues to support Google Cloud, and recently appeared on OpenAI’s “app chat” integrations (alongside Spotify, Booking.com, Canva, Coursera, Zillow), making it one of the most interconnected creative platforms for teams focused on fast growth and AI-first design.

While the partnership is not exclusive—Figma, Canva, and Adobe Express will all integrate multiple AI models—it is now clear that Indian agencies and entrepreneurs can rapidly build, test, and iterate creative assets with access to global-best AI engines.

Impact for Indian Designers, Startups, and Enterprise Teams

Democratizing design: Gemini AI in Figma opens advanced photo editing, image generation, and intelligent workflows to startups, freelance designers, and students without the need for expensive hardware or years of training.
Enterprise efficiency: Google also launched Gemini Enterprise—the new AI-powered conversational platform for business, allowing companies in India to chat with documents, build custom agents, and scale workflows. Notable clients include GAP, Mercedes, Deloitte, Deutsche Telekom, DBS Bank, and Indian SMBs like Behr and Banco BV.
Collaboration at scale: With 13M users now tapping Gemini AI in Figma, product teams across India can co-design app UIs, social media campaigns, and branding decks with unprecedented speed, consistency, and AI-powered creativity.

Industry analysts predict the top design platforms will increasingly compete on “who has the best AI inside”—expect even more rapid progress in the months ahead.
