Figma Education plan: do I have access to AI features

Honestly, I’d like to know too since I’m using education plan, but I cannot find any AI button or see AI balance

Hey everyone, Celine from Figma here! Thanks for your interest in Figma AI features.

At the moment, most Figma AI features are only available on paid plans (Professional, Organization, and Enterprise). That’s why you won’t see an AI button when using the Education (or Starter) plans. You can read more here. 

Also, a quick note about Figma Make, if you are interested in that feature, it is available for higher-education and bootcamp users (not K-12).
If you’re unsure which Education category applies to you, you can contact education@figma.com for clarification.

If you’d like access to Figma AI features (such as Edit with prompt, background removal, or generative resize), you’ll need to create a separate paid Professional plan outside of the Education plan. This plan includes AI features, unlimited files, and additional collaboration tools. You can also check the Figma AI FAQ for more details.

Hope this helps clarify!

Hi! The Figma Education plan does not automatically grant access to AI-powered features like background removal, “Edit with prompt,” or “Expand” (generative resize). These features are part of Figma's more advanced offerings or plugins, some of which are available to all users (including education) via the Figma Plugin library.

To access them:

1. Go to the Figma Plugin page.

2. Search for specific AI tools like "Remove Background" or "Generative Resize."

3. Install and use them within your designs.

Make sure to check if any AI features are part of any active beta programs as well!
