Hippo is a plugin to create stunning vector illustrations and web assets right in Figma, thanks to AI. It's made to be easy to use, with 22 handpicked styles tailored for the web - no prompt engineering required. It can also vectorize or edit any image with AI

Hello ProductHunters! There's a lot of movement in the generative AI space, but I found it difficult to generate images I could --really-- use in production as a product guy & web developer (vector icons, flat illustrations, 3D emojis, etc.). So I've created Hippo! - It's a Figma plugin, so you get the images where you need them. - It embeds multiple AI models (Dall-E, Stable diffusion, Open Journey, etc.) - But above all it features multiple pre-selected styles that are really useful to build web and mobile apps. So you don't need to learn anything about prompt engineering or model tuning. I also added powerful editing pictures so you can use AI to adapt images to your needs: you can vectorize any image (very cool for icons / illustrations), upscale them 4x, even zoom them out (outpaint). It's my first Figma plugin, so feedback and comments are really more than welcome. Hope it can prove useful for your design work! Thanks for the hunt, @alban!

@severin__ this is amazing, gonna try it right now. Feature idea: the possibility to upload a set of icon or Illustrations to generate and save a style πŸ‘€
Severin Marcombes
@gauthier_nadaud1 That's would be awesome indeed. Noted!
This sounds cool and as it directly integrates into Figma, it can increase the speed of UI development. Congrats on the launch.

Thanks @nithincp !

This is so useful! Love the demo with a rough sketch of a concept, I can see that being super handy for quickly throwing together a new idea.
Severin Marcombes
Thanks @alexzirbel Eager to see what you launch!

Looks great, promising and useful. Well done Severin and good luck for your launch ! Tried it just now in Figma. Unfortunately, after registering my email, when I clicked on the 'generate' tab, nothing happened and it sticked to the 'My account' tab. Maybe i'm missing something ? Or you hit some API limit with the launch traffic ? Upvoted, followed and set 4 stars for the interest, the value promise and because I know you can make killer products. Will check later, and gladly revise :)
Severin Marcombes
Thanks @rthauvin - feedback really helps. Let's dig into that together so we can solve the issue!

Congrats Severin on launching such an impressive AI tool on Figma! I'll share it with my design team. I'm curious, how are you able to provide the generation engine for free?
Severin Marcombes
@maxtpham Hehe. It's not free unfortunately. Got an email from OpenAI just now saying I've reached my soft limit. I'm trying to find a good pricing balance: give enough free credits to new users to try, but find a pricing that can compensate thanks to paying users
Max T.Pham
@severin__ ops, can you show the pricing page?
Severin Marcombes
@maxtpham No pricing page yet. Current pricing is $5 free credits, them $9/month + API costs (priced at cost, 0% profit) - https://hippo-api.creative-robot...
Severin Marcombes
@maxtpham Feedback on pricing very welcome. This is a tough one. AI models/API cost a lot.

Tried Hippo to generate logos straight into figma for my local swim club. That worked great! Also as a frequent figma user for digital product design and customer journey mock up, I cannot emphasize how big a difference it makes while reviewing journeys to have dedicated, spot on illustrations. Hippo rocks, you should definitely try it :). Kudos @severin__
Severin Marcombes
Thanks @adri1_b !

Hey! πŸ™Œ Stumbled upon Hippo AI, the kind of tool we've been missing. Creating these cool vector icons and illustrations right inside FigmaπŸ˜ƒ Love it. And, the best part is, you've made this (AI) super approachable. Kudos on launching this first Figma plugin, @severin__ ! πŸ₯³ You're killing it. Can't wait to see what else you're gonna roll out for my Figma. Keep rocking! πŸ€˜πŸŽ‰
Severin Marcombes
Thank you @joris_paris !
Natnael Asmare
Very well done guys. It works as advertised. I wish it had the capability to take in hand drown sketches and use that as a starting point for generating the image. Free?
Severin Marcombes
@natnael_asmare You're right. That's a mistake. Should be listed as paid with free tier. Nice catch. Will fix right now.
Severin Marcombes
@natnael_asmare Fixed. Thank you and sorry for the inconsistency. Product was tagged a "Paid with free tier" but launch was tagged "Free"
Absolutely intrigued by the Hippo plugin! I love how it integrates AI with design in Figma. Just curious, how does it handle complex designs? And are there any limitations on the type of images it can vectorize?
Severin Marcombes
Hello @ricardo_luz! Complex images will be simplified using the k-means algorithm (a kind of posterization). So either 1/ your output might not be super clean for very complex pics (lot of details, gradients), or 2/ the output vector image will be very complex. You should try it out!
Vlad Zivkovic
Awesome, this is really going to help! Congratulations on your launch! πŸš€πŸš€πŸš€
Frida
I love how fast it creates images and how I don't have to type in prompts! Vectorizing is also very useful. Keep it up!!!πŸ”₯
Severin Marcombes
Thanks @frida_sp !
Frida
@severin__ Thanks! I'll try it out (And we just launched a little while ago, so if you have time, we'd love to have you support us πŸ˜„)
Severin Marcombes
@frida_sp Done!
Dhiraj Jha
I think the feature sounds really cool, especially given its direct integration with Figma. It's great to see how technology is evolving to increase the speed and efficiency of UI development. Congrats on the launch, and I can't wait to see what else you have in store!
Hélène SAN
It's a bit slow to generate but awesome plugin!
Severin Marcombes
@helene_san Thanks for the feedback. Working on it!
Alex Szczurek
amazing extension, congrats on the launch!πŸ™Œ

What a great tool!
Alexandre Dana
I have to try it right now! Awesome product, super useful
Severin Marcombes
Thanks @alexandre_dana Hope it'll help!
Lawrence
Love the AI possibilities given to Figma tahnks to this product. Happy to have discovered it.
Leonardo Felicissimo
This is awesome. Because always when I need illustrations I spend time a lot of time finding for good vectors or creating something new.
Roman Frolov
Love the UX. Looks useful.
