Figma and Linearity: different tools, better together
Figma is purpose-built for UI design and product collaboration — it's not competing with vector illustration or animation tools, and the two work best when used together.
The most common workflow: design UI components and layouts in Figma, export via the Linearity plugin, refine vector assets in Linearity Curve, animate in Linearity Move, and export as MP4 or Lottie for developer handoff. Figma handles product design and collaboration — Linearity handles illustration, vector creation, and motion. Different jobs, done well together.
For a full comparison of how Linearity Curve sits alongside Figma and other design tool alternatives — Affinity, Inkscape, and Procreate — the Illustrator alternatives guide covers all five with honest assessments and a decision framework.

From sketch to vectors in a tap
Figma offers a basic image tracing tool to convert images into vectors, but it produces monochromatic results. In contrast, Linearity Curve excels with its multi-mode, AI-powered Auto Trace feature.
Auto Trace allows your team to quickly and easily turn sketches, photos, and raster illustrations into scalable, full-color vector paths that can be edited with ease.
A superior Pen Tool
Linearity Curve's Pen Tool offers advanced editing capabilities for creating curved or straight vector paths with exceptional precision.
When paired with the Node Tool , you gain enhanced control over anchor points, seamlessly transitioning between smooth and corner points, adjusting handles, and refining path segments. Additionally, color-coded Bézier nodes ensure visual clarity, aiding in identifying your path’s start and end points.
