Introducing the brand new connector between the Wedia Digital Asset Management and Figma solution! This powerful tool allows graphic designers to seamlessly integrate their work in Figma with our extensive library of digital assets.

With this connector, designers can easily search for the perfect images, graphics, and other assets within our platform, and then use them directly within their Figma projects.
