Action: Create Image

Figma Operation

The Create Image action generates or imports visual assets (like icons, illustrations, or graphics) directly into a design file.

Example User Story

I want to add a custom icon to my app’s homepage mockup, so I’ll use Figma’s Create Image action to upload and place it directly in the design file.
