My top 7 Figma plugins
Written
I love being able to design fast, and using the right Figma plugins is certainly a part of my process.
With some Figma workshops planned, and Config happening soon, the topic of Figma is jumping back into the foreground.
These are my favorite plugins that I actually use all the time in design work.
I use this to select sibling layers across groups without the need for componentizing.
Batch edit text: I use this to quickly enter data. Very useful for entering data in tables.
Convert screenshots to editable text. Disclaimer: this is an Obra plugin.
Quickly add Obra icons to your project. Another Obra plugin. I use it all the time.
Get the original image dimensions of a resized image
This is my secret weapon to put items on a grid. I've been using this plugin for years - I think I use it almost every design session.
This is another plugin that we made ourselves: a quick utility to cut multiline text into separate lines.
