Figma and Google Cloud Partner to Integrate Advanced AI Models into Design Platform

Figma, the collaborative design platform, has announced a partnership with Google Cloud to integrate advanced artificial intelligence models into its software, aiming to enhance image generation and editing capabilities for its 13 million monthly active users.

On October 9, 2025, Figma revealed that it will incorporate Google's AI models—Gemini 2.5 Flash, Gemini 2.0, and Imagen 4—into its design platform. This integration is expected to significantly improve the efficiency and creativity of design workflows. Early testing indicated a 50% reduction in latency for Figma's "Make Image" feature following the integration.

Founded in 2012, Figma has evolved from a design tool into a comprehensive, AI-powered platform that facilitates the entire design and product development process. It enables teams to ideate, design, build, and ship products collaboratively and efficiently.

Google Cloud offers a suite of cloud computing services, including AI models and infrastructure, supporting organizations in transforming their operations.

The collaboration aims to address the evolving needs of product designers by incorporating Google's AI models into Figma's image generation and editing features, enhancing speed and responsiveness. Early testing indicated a 50% reduction in latency for Figma's "Make Image" feature following the integration.

Dylan Field, CEO of Figma, stated, "Our collaboration with Google Cloud brings powerful image generation and editing capabilities into Figma that help teams tap into their creativity without breaking their flow."

Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, commented, "With this collaboration, millions of users are now able to benefit from the combination of Google's leading AI models, Google Cloud's AI-optimized infrastructure, and Figma's incredible tools to push the design market forward."

The integration of AI into design workflows enables designers to produce high-quality images and prototypes more efficiently, potentially leading to faster product development cycles.

This partnership signifies an expansion of Google's AI applications into creative industries, demonstrating the versatility of its AI models.

In November 2023, Figma introduced generative AI features for its collaborative tool, FigJam, to assist in idea generation and organization. Additionally, in September 2025, Figma improved its AI agents by enabling better access to contextual information across platforms, aiming to integrate design and development workflows more seamlessly.

In October 2025, Google was announced as the official cloud provider for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games, utilizing its AI tools to enhance fan experiences and streamline event operations.

The partnership between Figma and Google Cloud marks a significant step in integrating AI into design workflows, offering enhanced tools for designers and reflecting a broader trend of AI adoption in creative industries.
