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!

Check it out here: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1440141868641854458/v...

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.
