Plugins

Another Maker Week project — a plugin to play Asteroids with friends.

Bureau Gorbunov is one of my all-time favorite design companies. Its designer Sergey Chikin has been drawing a new icon every day for over three years, and now this set is available as a plugin. 266 icons are completely free, and the commercial license includes over 1,200 icons.

A simple plugin for finding and replacing strings, with Regular Expressions support.

Bézier and step easing for gradient fills. Highly useful for creating smooth gradients.

Plugin with all the necessary shapes and basic forms that you may need on a daily basis.

Figma To Video allows you to turn your Figma designs into animated videos. The plugin is powered by a SUPA video editor that helps to fine-tune the animations and the order in which elements appear.

Over 30 filters for raster images.

Select multiple styles at once, and perform Find & Replace functions to rename them.

Creates oblique projections of any shape. Useful for creating shadows, 3D depth, visual perspectives, etc. Really impressive!

Export Figma styles and custom tokens to Style Dictionary JSON or sync to GitHub. I’ve been thinking of building a plugin for this before, so looking forward to trying it on one of the projects.

Whoa! I don’t use Abstract anymore, and it seems like this plugin requires access to a feature that wasn’t widely rolled out yet, but this is exciting. Abstract’s branch-based workflow is one of the rare features I see people genuinely miss when switching to Figma.

List all font families and styles used in a document, and see where exactly they are used. I found this plugin really useful while working on the recent project — first, when switching to a different typeface, and later while reducing the number of webfonts in a project.

This issue is rich in code generation tools! A new plugin transforming design components into React, Vue, or HTML components. The author provides some context and explains how it works in the article ​“Introducing Figma to React”.

BlendingMe blends two lines, ellipses, or rectangles. I used it on a recent project, and it’s a capable alternative to the more advanced Blend Tool in Adobe Illustrator.

Create simple, flexible, and editable tables.

A plugin by Rogie to play GIF animations in the editor (!), make memes, and export animated GIFs straight from Figma.

A major update to a popular plugin for drawing flows. Now the lines between objects auto-update on move, intelligently avoid obstacles, and clean up after themselves. Check out a Twitter thread by the author with more details.

A new plugin from Microsoft to help you quickly annotate focus and tab order flow for keyboard and screen reader users.

I rarely write about plugin updates, but this one is exciting — TinyImage Compressor added support for AVIF image format. If you haven’t heard about it before, check out the blog post ​“AVIF has landed” from a developer advocate for Google Chrome.

Ever wondered what’s the best name for that specific shade of the color? This plugin lets you select any node with a solid fill and see the closest color’s name.
