Reviewed October 22, 2026 · Published by OY.Surf
Where Figma Design fits
Figma describes Design as a collaborative design and prototyping environment, alongside separate products including FigJam, Weave, Draw, Slides and Dev Mode. Official reference.
Choose Figma Design for interface layouts, reusable components, prototypes and team design handoff.
Where OY.Surf fits
OY.Surf browses local assets and adds image creation, visual inspection and a reference Canvas. Its Figma integration stages selected assets for the OY.Surf plugin.
A practical workflow
Find and compare references in OY.Surf, create a background variation and send selected assets into the Figma workflow. Build the interface and prototype in Figma Design.
What to check before switching
OY.Surf is not an interface design-system or prototyping replacement. Figma Weave is a different product, covered by the dedicated Weave comparison.
Local processing and cloud choices
OY.Surf’s library and on-device tools work locally. AI models download when needed. Choosing a cloud provider sends the request’s prompt and selected reference to that provider using your key; its charges and policies apply. Adding a key does not upload your library automatically.
The Mac app is free while in beta. This is not a promise of permanent pricing, model-quality parity or a replacement for every feature above. Check the other product’s current plans on its official site.
