Fil vs Figma Weave
Figma Weave, Weavy until Figma bought it, pairs many AI models with pro image editing. Fil adds what comes after: working live together, cutting the video, building the 3D scene, publishing the site.

| With Figma | Works inside Figma Design: Weave tools run there on Figma AI credits, and a Figma node pushes results into frames; its own subscription (pricing) (FAQ) | Paste from Figma: frames and layers come into Design as its own layers, auto layout and all; nothing goes back to Figma |
| Image editing | Pro tools: relight, inpaint, outpaint, masks, z-depth, channels, painter, and a compositor with blend modes (home) | The essentials: inpaint, outpaint, crop, camera angle, cutouts, layers, upscale ×2, light and colour effects |

Where Fil is different
One canvas, everyone on it.
Several people edit one canvas at once, comment on it and meet on it by camera, on every plan.
- Pointers and changes you see as they happen
- Comments on pictures, videos and pages
- Meetings on the canvas, free for up to 16 people
Figma Weave: Teammates’ files are read-only unless their owner shares them (help)
Then cut it into a video.
Pictures become clips with Kling, Seedance, Wan and Grok Imagine, and the clips an edit, on the same canvas: transitions, keyframes and captions timed to each word. Fil’s free plan has every model, video included.
- Delete words from the transcript, and the cut follows
- Pauses and filler words gone in one go
- Downloads up to 4K on every plan
Figma Weave: A timeline to trim, reorder and mute layers; no video models on Free (help) (pricing)
Your agent lays out the canvas.
Connect Claude Code, Codex or Cursor in one line, then ask it in your terminal: it builds the canvas in Fil live and runs it, with the tools the studio has and your credits.
- One line to install, over MCP
- What it makes lands on the canvas, marked with its name
- A daily credit limit for each agent key

Where Figma Weave is better
- Pro image editing between steps. Relighting, z-depth, channels, masks and a compositor with blend modes go further than Fil’s image tools. (home)
- Figma. Weave tools run inside Figma Design, and the Figma node pushes results into your frames. Fil takes a paste from Figma, but nothing goes back into your frames. (post) (FAQ)
- Your own models. Import LoRAs and models from Fal, Replicate and CivitAI. Fil uses its own list. (help)
- Models Fil doesn’t have. Runway Aleph 2.0, LTX 2.3 and WorldLabs’ Gaussian-splat worlds. (pricing)
- A licence and SOC 2. Free work comes with a commercial licence, and companies get SOC 2 Type II. (pricing) (home)
- Long rollover. Unused credits carry over for up to three or four months on Professional, Team and Max. (pricing)
Questions
Is Figma Weave the same as Weavy?
Yes. Figma bought Weavy in October 2025 and renamed it Figma Weave. It still runs as its own app at weave.figma.com, with its own plans.
Is Fil a good Weavy alternative?
Yes, if you want to work on a canvas together live and turn results into videos, 3D scenes and websites. If you need deep image editing or AI inside your Figma frames, Weave fits better.
Does a Figma plan include Weave?
No. Weave’s pricing page says a paid Figma plan doesn’t include it; only the Weave tools inside Figma Design use Figma AI credits.
Which is cheaper?
Fil starts at $18 a month, or $14.40 paid yearly; Weave starts at $24 a month, or $202 a year. Credits differ in size, so compare by what you make: both show a model’s price before it runs.
Can I import my own LoRAs into Fil?
No. Fil runs the models in its list. Weave lets you import LoRAs and models from Fal, Replicate and CivitAI.
Can I use Fil today?
Fil is invite-only while it’s in beta. Sign in with Google and join the waitlist; invited friends of members get in sooner.
