Element Extraction

Isolate and extract design elements with AI precision

Overview

Element Extraction uses AI to isolate subjects, remove backgrounds, or eliminate unwanted elements from your images. Simply select an image in Figma, open the plugin, and describe what you want to extract or remove.

Perfect for creating clean product shots, isolating characters, removing watermarks, or preparing assets for new compositions. The AI intelligently fills removed areas and maintains clean edges.

Key Capabilities

Subject Isolation

Precisely separate subjects from backgrounds, even when dealing with complex scenes, fine details like hair or fur, or transparent or semi-transparent elements. The AI identifies subject boundaries with professional-grade accuracy.

Component Extraction

Extract individual components from composite images—logos from photographs, characters from scenes, objects from product shots, or icons from screenshots. Each extracted element is ready for immediate reuse in new projects.

Unwanted Element Removal

Remove specific objects, people, or elements from images while intelligently filling the remaining space. Perfect for cleaning up photos, removing watermarks, or eliminating distracting elements from compositions.

Design Library Building

Build custom libraries of design assets by extracting elements from reference materials, inspiration images, or existing designs. Create organized collections of reusable components for faster design workflows.
