There’s a moment every designer knows: you’re in flow, the layout is snapping into place, and then — halt. You’re digging for the right logo version. Hunting down a product shot. Pasting a temp video because the real one is “somewhere in Drive.” The work pauses while the search begins.

We built Air to eliminate that pause.

And today, we’re making that promise even stronger with a major upgrade to the Air + Figma plugin — designed so your design tool and your asset hub finally feel like one.

Design lives in Figma. Your source-of-truth assets live in Air. When those worlds are connected, everyone moves faster: designers stay in canvas, brand stays consistent, and updates flow to the right place — automatically.

This release tightens that loop. It’s not “an integration” you visit occasionally; it’s an everyday bridge you barely notice because it just works.

Drag & Drop from Plugin to Canvas

Drop assets straight from Air into your Figma canvas. No extra menus, no copy-paste rituals.

Why it matters: less context switching, more momentum.

Video Support (.mov, .mp4, .webm)

Insert real video files from Air directly into Figma for motion previews and storytelling.

Why it matters: higher-fidelity mocks, fewer “imagine this will animate here” caveats.

Smart Aspect Ratio Control

Lock/unlock ratios as you place assets to keep everything crisp and accurate.

Why it matters: pixel-perfect comps without fiddling.

Insert as Frame/Shape Fill

Fill frames and shapes instantly with approved assets from Air — great for design systems and rapid mockups.

Why it matters: two clicks to on-brand, every time.

Version Management Without Leaving Figma

Export updates as new versions to the original asset stack in Air.

Why it matters: source of truth stays clean; the latest stays truly latest.

…and more quality-of-life improvements that keep you in flow.

• Designers stay in Figma longer, with fewer stalls and searches.

• Brand & Creative Leads know every comp uses vetted, current assets.

• Creative Ops sees cleaner handoffs — what’s in the mock is actually what exists in Air.

• Stakeholders get previews that reflect reality (including motion), so feedback is about ideas, not “where is the right file?”

Does this replace our design system?

No—this complements it. Your DS lives in Figma; Air ensures the images, videos, and brand assets you reference are consistent and up to date.

What about permissions?

Air respects your asset access. If a file is private or restricted in Air, it won’t become a free-for-all via the plugin.

How do we avoid duplicates?

Use the Export as New Version flow to keep updates attached to the original asset stack in Air.

Design in Figma. Manage in Air. With this release, the two finally operate like one connected workspace — so your team can spend less time chasing files and more time shipping great work.
