Modyfi
Browser-based, AI-native design platform that fuses image editing, vector tools, generation, and animation into one node-based canvas.
In short
Modyfi offers a single, non-destructive canvas where generative AI steps function as editable nodes alongside traditional design operations. It is best for brand designers, illustrators, and motion designers who need fine-grained control over AI outputs within a collaborative, browser-native environment.
Pick Modyfi if you want a single browser-native canvas where AI generation is a first-class, editable node alongside traditional raster and vector tools.
Skip it if you need a stable, long-horizon production tool with public pricing and an API, given the pending Figma acquisition.
Modyfi is a multidisciplinary design platform built for the browser on WebGPU, combining raster image editing, vector tooling, AI image generation, and looped animation in a single non-destructive, node-based workspace. The pitch is that designers stop hopping between Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and a separate generative-AI app — everything lives on one canvas with shared assets and real-time collaboration, driven by a command-bar-first UI.
The differentiator is the node graph: generative AI steps (text-to-image, restyles, variations) sit alongside conventional filters and vector operations as editable nodes, so any AI output remains tweakable rather than baked in. It targets working creative professionals — brand designers, illustrators, motion designers — who want generative AI without giving up fine-grained art direction. Pricing isn't publicly listed on the marketing site; access has historically been invite/waitlist with a free tier.
Important context: Modyfi announced in 2024 that it is joining Figma. The standalone product is still live and the technology is expected to inform Figma's design surface, but anyone betting a workflow on it should treat its long-term independent roadmap as uncertain.
Modyfi was one of the more ambitious attempts to build an AI-native design tool from the canvas up, and the node-graph approach is genuinely smart. The Figma acquisition validates the team but muddies the product's future — treat it as a glimpse of where Figma's generative tooling is heading more than as a tool to standardize on today.

- ✅ Collaboration and shared assets remove export-handoff friction
Cons
- ⚠️ Joining Figma — standalone product roadmap is now uncertain
- ⚠️ Pricing and plan tiers not publicly documented
- ⚠️ No public API or open-source components
- ⚠️ Learning curve for designers new to node graphs
Use cases
Frequently asked
- What features does Modyfi combine?
- Modyfi combines raster image editing, vector tooling, AI image generation, and looped animation into one node-based workspace. It allows users to mix generative AI steps with conventional filters and vector operations on a single canvas.
- Who is Modyfi best suited for?
- It targets working creative professionals such as brand designers, illustrators, and motion designers. The tool is ideal for those who want to use generative AI without sacrificing fine-grained art direction or needing to switch between multiple applications.
- Is Modyfi open source or does it have an API?
- No, Modyfi is not open source and does not offer a public API. Access has historically been via invite or waitlist with a free tier, though specific paid plan details are not publicly listed.
