Figma Plugin
Select a layer, click a tool, and the processed image is placed next to the original. No exporting to a folder, no uploading to a website, no dragging the result back in.
Stop Round-Tripping Images Out of Figma
Design work stalls on the same loop: export the layer, open a background remover, upload, download, drag it back, realign. The plugin collapses that into one click.
PixelPanda runs on the layer you already have selected. It exports the layer for you, sends it to the AI, and places the finished image on the canvas beside the original so you can compare them and keep the version you want. Backgrounds come back as clean cutouts, upscales come back sharp enough for hero sections and print, and text removal wipes watermarks from stock or supplier images.
What you can run on a layer
- Remove background — a clean cutout for mockups, hero art and product grids.
- AI upscale 4x — turn a small asset into something usable at full width or in print.
- AI enhance — fix blur, colour and sharpness on client-supplied photos.
- Remove text & watermarks — clear overlays from reference and stock images you own.
Where It Fits in Design Work
The edits designers keep leaving Figma to do.
Cutouts without exporting
Select a layer, remove its background and get a transparent version placed on the canvas.
4x upscaling in place
Turn a small supplier image into an asset that survives a full-width hero or print layout.
Fix client photos
AI enhance repairs blur, lighting and colour on the images clients actually send you.
Clear watermarks
Remove text and stamps from reference images so mockups read clean.
Original stays untouched
Results are placed as a new node beside the source layer so you can compare and choose.
Key stays local
The API key lives in Figma clientStorage — never in the document, never shared with collaborators.
Free plugin, results on the canvas
Your API key is stored in Figma's client storage — never in the document or shared state.
