FigJam Alternative with AI
FigJam is a solid whiteboarding companion for Figma users. MyCanva offers a similar collaborative experience with the added power of AI content generation.
Why choose MyCanva over FigJam
AI Image & Video Generation
Generate visual content from text prompts. FigJam doesn't have built-in AI generation.
Standalone Product
No need for a Figma subscription. MyCanva works on its own with a generous free tier.
AI Workflows
Chain AI outputs into visual pipelines for complex creative processes.
Embeddable Boards
Embed interactive boards on any website — great for portfolios and presentations.
FigJam is great — if you’re already in Figma
FigJam works well as a whiteboarding extension for Figma users. It is intuitive, playful, and tightly integrated with the Figma design ecosystem. But if you are not a Figma subscriber, or if your creative process goes beyond sticky notes and diagrams, FigJam can feel limiting. MyCanva offers a similar collaborative canvas experience without requiring any other subscription.
AI tools built into the canvas
The biggest difference is creative capability. MyCanva lets you generate images and videos from text prompts directly on your board. You can chain AI outputs together into visual workflows — for example, brainstorm a concept in text, generate an image from it, then turn that image into a short video. It is a creative pipeline that lives entirely on your canvas, which makes it useful for storyboarding, mood boards, and early-stage ideation.
A standalone creative workspace
MyCanva is a self-contained product with a free tier that includes AI credits. You get real-time collaboration, cloud storage, public sharing, and embeddable boards — all without needing to be part of a larger tool ecosystem. If you want a whiteboard that helps you create, not just organize, MyCanva is a strong alternative to FigJam.
