If you’re still relying on JPGs and PNGs, it may be time to give WebP format a try with this plugin!

Along with its basic built-in spellchecker, Figma introduced a new API opening the door to more advanced tools. SpellCheck is a commercial plugin offering a bunch of features, like checking an entire project, building a personal dictionary, detecting ​”Lorem Ipsum”, auto-correcting typos, and supporting multiple languages.

A few tricks for successfully exporting Figma mockups to Framer. In the end, it all comes down to using flexible and consistent structures in Figma that translate to code in Framer really well.

While the community file is super simple, I love how its prototype is used as a quick landing page, with links and animations. Fast and scrappy!

A quick tutorial for creating and prototyping a tab bar menu.

Vijay Verma with a smart workaround for rotating an object reflection with the key object. (And here is another one, if that wasn’t enough!)

Miggi with two great tips on managing gradients. I wish we didn’t need to resolve to a 100 pixels square hack, but often it gets the job done!

Miggie shows how to prototype overlay transitions for thumbnails using interactive components. This tutorial is intermediate and covers the use of overlays, Auto Layout, interactive components, and placing images.

Anthony gives a tip on adding prototype scrolling and interactive components inside your Figma presentations.

Ana is building off of her tip on creating nested icons that preserve color overrides, and now makes them duotone.

Chad with a quick tip for resizing objects in Figma using your keyboard instead of the design panel.

If programming shaders is a bit too much for you, check out this video on how to create an animated mesh gradient in Figma with a combination of a few plugins and built-in tools.

Dan Hollick with a fantastic deep dive on shaders. While this specialized area of graphics programming may seem too niche, shaders have been gaining popularity in UI design for animating gradients and creating cool special effects. In Figma, you can play with shaders inside Rogie’s popular Noise & Texture plugin.

Joey Banks is back with a bit of advice on his new approach to using Auto Layout for building responsive components. ​“With my approach today, I first like to drag out an unfinished component instance and stretch it in bizarre and unexpected ways to see what happens. If I can make this component work as expected in the strangest sizes, I’ll feel confident that it’ll work for nearly all situations.”

Rogie’s plugin for generating tiling noise and textures for fills and strokes is finally out of beta and publicly available. It’s essential for any illustration or art work. Check out a video walkthrough and upvote it on ProductHunt.

“Prototyping in Figma just got an update. In this livestream, Designer Advocate Ana Boyer and Product Designer Nikolas Klein will walk you through adding videos to prototypes, how to build and edit multi-flow prototypes, faster, and demonstrate how to bring others along. Community members Mirko Santangelo and Jannis Smesny will also join to demo how they use the new features.”

In a short thread, Nitish Khagwal explains how instance overrides work in Figma.

An interview with Jordan Singer from Diagram, who built Magician and participated in the text review API beta, exploring what this API enables and sharing tips on navigating the ​“untapped intersection of product design and AI.”

I shared Magician before, but in Jordan’s own words it’s ​“a design tool for Figma made by Diagram that introduces AI into designer workflows to expand your creativity and imagination as you design. It’s a magical utility that works alongside you to help ideate and inspire you with new ideas, whether it’s generating never-before-seen icons, imagery to use in your designs, or help with writer’s block.”

“Customers can collaborate confidently with agencies and companies, knowing that the right company can own the work. Customers on Professional, Organization, and Enterprise plans can now transfer teams and projects from one company to another in a few clicks, and customers on Organization and Enterprise plans can receive transfers.”

Review and fix spelling errors without relying on plugins! Works with any language supported on your operating system. Developer Advocate Jake Albaugh shared that they’re also moving the text review API out of beta — now plugins can highlight text and make suggestions (more on this below). See also early ideas for this launch that helped shape the concept but didn’t make it to the final campaign from Brand Designer Remilla Ty.
