Yeah, it was reworked by AI, but entire description was written manually. So to fix my non-perfect english grammar skills I passed it through. The purpose is time saving. Primarily the plugin was for internal usage only.


> The purpose is time saving.

If it saves time but loses customers, that looks like a bad trade off. When you cut corners in the presentation, people assume you cut corners in the functionality too. Considering the plugin apparently costs money to use¹ and you plan to expand it to other apps², I’d guess you want people to actually use the tool and not be put off by it.

Hey, currently it works in Figma only. But I’m thinking to integrate it into more platforms. Powerpoint sounds really good idea to integrate into.


How about a standalone version?


I was planning to gradually support more platforms including standalone version. Where are you planning to use the svg ai? Just trying to get more data from users.


It is using Recraft’s models under-hood with enhanced prompt and vector smoother.

The audience is more for people who need illustrations, icons and etc. That can be Frontend engineers, designers and etc. That is the target I aimed.


Hey HN!

I’ve been working on a Figma plugin called Vector Image AI, and I’d love to share it with you all. It uses AI to generate custom SVG illustrations and icons directly in Figma based on simple text prompts.

Here’s what it can do: - Generate unique, scalable SVGs in seconds. - Support a variety of styles like flat, outline, pastel, pop art, and more. - Seamlessly integrate into Figma—no need for exporting/importing.

Would love your feedback—what works, what doesn’t, and any ideas for improvement!

Thanks for taking the time to look!


I’ve been looking for something like this for some basic custom illustrations for presentations and for my company’s website. I didn’t spend a ton of time looking but it’s great to see someone working on this. I think there’s a ton of opportunity there for illustration and diagrams in company materials. Especially if you can stick to a certain design aesthetic or incorporate text.

That might solve the “last mile” of design when you just want to get something together quick and have 0 design skills. Currently the alternative seems to be hacking something with premade clip art type of stuff on Canva


Hey, I was actually looking for something like this a while back and couldn't find anything. Really glad to have discovered it. But I couldn't get it to work. I added the plugin via Figma, gave it a prompt and spent my 1 credit to generate an illustration, the credit was used, but no image was created (or perhaps it was created and is just hidden or outside of the frames / groups).

Figured you might want to know / provide some instructions in case others are running into this issue too.


Hey, thanks for heads up. There was such an issue you mentioned which seems to be solved now. If you can provide your email to vectorimageai@gmail.com, I can add you a credit to retry it.
