Figma's AI image editing now selects an object with a single click

At a glance

In Select area, Figma's AI image editing tool, you can now click an object in a picture and Figma selects it for you. There is no need to trace around it by hand.

Key points

1. 1

   Select area is an AI image editing tool for picking part of an image to isolate or erase it.

2. 2

   One click on an object now makes Figma select that object automatically.

3. 3

   The feature works only in the macOS desktop app.

Why it matters

Cutting out or erasing a single object in a picture becomes much simpler, though for now only in the Mac desktop app.
