Diagram
AI design tools and Figma plugins
Diagram is an AI-powered design toolkit acquired by Figma that provides intelligent plugins for generating icons, writing copy, creating UI designs, and automating repetitive design tasks directly within the Figma ecosystem. Its suite of AI assistants streamlines the design workflow from ideation to implementation.
Key Capabilities
Diagram offers several AI-powered Figma plugins. Magician generates custom SVG icons from text prompts, creates visual effects, and writes or rewrites text layers directly in Figma. Genius transforms product descriptions into fully editable UI designs, providing complete interface starting points from simple text input. Automator handles repetitive tasks like creating color palettes, resizing icons in bulk, and applying consistent styling across components. Together, these tools keep designers inside Figma while leveraging AI for generation and automation tasks.
Who Should Use Diagram
Diagram is built for UI/UX designers, product designers, and design teams who work primarily in Figma and want AI assistance without leaving their design environment. It is particularly valuable for teams that frequently need custom icons, UI copy, and rapid prototyping from product descriptions, as well as designers looking to automate repetitive styling and formatting tasks.
Getting Started
Install Diagram's plugins from the Figma Community. Open Figma and access Magician through the plugins menu to generate icons or write copy from text prompts. Use Genius to create UI design layouts from product descriptions, and Automator to batch-process repetitive tasks. The plugins integrate directly into Figma's interface with no separate application required.
Pricing & Accessibility: Diagram offers a freemium model with basic features available for free. Premium features and higher usage limits are available through paid plans. Since the Figma acquisition, pricing and access may continue to evolve as features integrate more deeply into Figma's platform.
Why Consider Diagram: Diagram is the most deeply integrated AI design toolkit for Figma, providing icon generation, copy writing, UI creation, and task automation without ever leaving the design environment.

No, Diagram's tools are designed exclusively as Figma plugins. They require Figma to operate and are accessed through Figma's plugin menu. Since Diagram was acquired by Figma, the tools are deeply integrated into the Figma ecosystem.
What can Magician generate?
Magician can generate custom SVG icons from text descriptions, create visual effects, and write, edit, or rewrite text layers directly within your Figma designs. It uses AI to produce unique assets rather than pulling from a static library.
Is Diagram still available after the Figma acquisition?
Yes, Diagram's plugins remain available through the Figma Community. The acquisition has led to deeper integration with Figma's platform, and some AI features are being incorporated directly into Figma's native toolset.
