AI image model comparison

Test every AI image model on one canvas — no separate subscriptions or tabs.

Find the right model for every creative decision

Different models excel at different tasks. Weave lets you compare outputs across providers in the same workflow, so you can choose based on results — not guesswork or limited trials.

  • Build comparison workflows you can revisit

    Set up a node-based pipeline that tests multiple models against the same inputs and parameters. Every variable is visible, so you know exactly what you're comparing.

  • Every major model, one workspace

    Access image models from multiple providers without juggling subscriptions or browser tabs. Run the same prompt through different models side by side and compare outputs directly on the canvas.

  • Refine outputs with professional tools

    Don't stop at comparing raw outputs. Use built-in masking, color grading, and compositing to see how each model's results hold up through a real finishing workflow.

  • Test at scale across your asset library

    Run your comparison workflow across dozens of inputs to see how models perform on varied subjects, styles, and edge cases — not just a single cherry-picked prompt.

FAQ

An AI image model is a system trained to generate or manipulate images based on text prompts or reference inputs. Different models have different strengths — some excel at photorealism, others at illustration styles or specific subject matter. Figma Weave gives you access to multiple models so you can find the right fit for each task.

Consider output quality, style consistency, how well the model handles your specific subject matter, and how results hold up through editing. Weave lets you test all of these factors in one workflow rather than evaluating models in isolation.

Connect multiple model nodes to the same input, run your prompt, and compare outputs directly on the canvas. You can apply identical edits to each result to see how they perform through your finishing workflow.

Models vary by architecture and training data — some specialize in photorealistic imagery, others in illustration, vector graphics, or specific visual styles. Figma Weave connects to providers across these categories so you can compare options without separate subscriptions.

You can get started with Figma Weave for free. Set up a comparison workflow with the models you want to test, run your prompts, and evaluate results side by side. Advanced features and higher usage are available on paid plans.

Beyond subjective quality, consider consistency across prompts, how well outputs match your creative direction, and how results hold up through professional editing. Weave lets you test all of this in a single, repeatable workflow.
