Miggi presents the new vector point box transform controls, letting you resize selections of vector points as a box instead of nudging each point manually. This makes symmetry tweaks and proportional adjustments much faster and fills a gap in Figma’s otherwise excellent vector tooling. It’s the kind of unsexy but high‑leverage improvement that will matter more the deeper you are in vector-heavy files.

Rogie King introduces Vectorize, a new AI-powered action in Figma Design and Draw that converts any raster image into fully editable vectors in one click. This feature finally removes the need to use 3rd-party plugins or to redraw assets, while still letting you tweak paths, use color variables, and turn ​“messy” starting points into reusable components.

Another cool Figma Draw technique from Miggi that I wasn’t aware of. Until now, I was achieving this effect in an old-school way by flattening a copy of the object and then adding an outside stroke.

Miggi shows how to use the Cut tool like a pro.

The Cut tool allows you to precisely divide vector objects and shapes into separate objects. When editing a vector, select the Cut tool and either click and drag to slice an object or click on a point to split the vector. Don’t miss a little fun interaction detail that Rogie and Tim sneaked in.

The Shape Builder is a newer vector tool added to Figma Design from Draw. First, Miggi shows how to use it to easily cut up a shape with a path. Next, he makes a yin-yang symbol with it in just a few seconds.

A calligraphy artist Jake Rainis shares an interesting technique to improve your Bezier curves: ​“Plot your anchors as you normally would, but when you pull the Bezier handles to create curves, pull them at either a 0º angle (horizontal), or 90º angle (vertical).”

A new plugin that generates smooth transitions between two shapes by creating intermediate states.

Miggi shows a wildly creative application of boolean groups to vector networks.

Really well-made video tutorial explaining masks in Figma: ​“We answer questions such as: What is a mask? How does it work? How do you use it in Figma? We demonstrate advanced usage and share real examples from our projects.”

Quick Tracing easily traces and converts images into vector shapes directly within Figma.

Vijay Verma made a tiny plugin to simplify the vector editing workflow when working on illustrations. Here is how it started: ​“After releasing UI3, people have been complaining that the boolean task is a bit hard to find. So, I thought, why not create a tiny plugin with some of the most commonly used options for vector work?”

The Lil’ tool for creating pixel-perfect icons in a 16×16 grid, all in vector format.

“SVG Pattern Builder allows you to create, customize, and download unique animated SVG patterns for your web and design projects. Great for Figma, Framer, Webflow and video projects.” Made by Meng To from Design Code with a lot of help from Claude AI.

Miggi applies the new ​“Remove background” AI feature, a vector mask outlining the shape, a hidden ​“Show mask outlines” command (that I didn’t know about!), and a simple prototype to create a popping out head avatar.

Turns any image into a cool line pattern — an alternative to the Emboss lines plugin.

An important update to the plugin I featured just a couple of weeks ago — now you can curve your text along any path you draw!

Stumbled upon this old blog post from 2019 by Alex Harri, one of the engineers behind Figma’s Vector Networks. Fascinatingly deep dive! ​“This post can be thought of as an introduction to a really interesting problem space, and as a resource for people interested in making use of some aspects of Vector Networks for future applications. I hope it succeeds in providing value to both developers being introduced to new concepts and ideas, and to designers interested in learning more about the tool they know and love.”

A nifty plugin for quickly snapping your selected objects to the pixel grid by rounding values. Works with X and Y values, width and height, corner radius, font size, and position of all anchor points.

I didn’t know Cmd-clicking on the nodes of the shape releases the handles — a slick tip from Miggi!
