Discover, design, and discuss memes while using Figma with this plugin.

One more service for publishing websites from Figma — love how vibrant that space is! Figment helps you add website effects such as videos, links, and animations to your Figma mockups. When finished, it publishes or exports your website’s code.

Makers is a Figma plugin to help you build and publish sites directly in Figma without writing any code. They even provide a few templates to speed up the process. Make sure to watch an impressive demo video.

The plugin allows you to create beautiful shadows by simply dragging a ​“light source,” which casts a shadow from selected elements. The shadow effect is achieved by layering and easing multiple drop-shadows to create a skeuomorphic shadow umbra and penumbra.

Automator – the most discussed plugin lately – is now available to the public. For a limited time, it’s $29 per year for personal use. See Issue #52 for some examples of what it can do.

Really cool plugin (currently in beta) for turning frames into components. See a short video demo.

If you’ve ever used my tool Accessible Palette, one of its core features is support for Advanced Perceptual Contrast Algorithm (APCA) — a great alternative to a basic contrast algorithm in WCAG 2 and the current recommendation in WCAG 3 Draft. This plugin is a simple contrast checker using this algorithm and taking into account fonts size as well as background and foreground colors.

Fill-in-the-blank sticky note, where different people can fill out different parts of the sentence. Works great for e.g. ice breakers, user story templates, and critical user journeys.

While outlining a stroke is a common feature in design tools, I’ve never seen the opposite!

Insert and retain the original resolution of big images, working around Figma’s limitation of 4,096 pixels during imports. Just last week, I had to add a few large screenshots to the project and ended up cutting them down manually in Pixelmator while thinking of building this plugin. Apparently, Yuan Qing Lim had the same idea a while ago!

A new plugin from Gleb Sabirzyanov for getting custom colors from Figma to FigJam.
