Photo → interactive layers ✨ in Figma

Turn any image into interactive design layers in Figma 👀. The highlight of this week is Jordan Singer‘s latest experiment – a Figma plugin that analyses static pictures, and cleverly converts them into drag and drop shapes and editable text. Whilst it’s still in development, here are a couple projects from the past that tackle similar problems:
- Sketch2Code: AI that converts hand-written drawings to working HTML prototypes
- UIzard: Transform hand-drawn wireframes into digital design files
For awesome new Figma plugins (that are available to use right now), check out this issue’s Toolbox section.👇
