Include is a tool built by eBay to make annotating for accessibility easier — easier for designers to spec and easier for developers to understand what is required. The intent is to have accessibility considerations included during the design phase of any project and to help with the designer-developer collaboration.

A new plugin for manipulating design elements to achieve interesting visual effects. ​“The plugin provides a wide range of features, including effortless horizontal and vertical movement, adjustments to size in both dimensions, rotation, duplication, and more.” See the demo video to come up with ideas for specific use cases.

With the Walkthrough widget, you can give your stakeholders an interactive tour with smooth animations without being there yourself. You can use it to introduce file content or explain a complex flow.

Effortlessly remove backgrounds or isolate objects using AI.

The new plugin by Meng To uses AI to upscale up to 8X the original resolution. Perfect for a variety of images including avatars, background images, Midjourney renders, and marketing images. (Interesting that the author heavily relied on ChatGPT 4 to build it.)

A new plugin from the accessibility and design teams at eBay: ​“Include is a tool built to make annotating for accessibility easier — easier for designers to spec and easier for developers to understand what is required.

One-click export of Figma prototypes and animations to GIF, WebM, or MP4.

“The plugin Shape Move is specifically designed to allow you to create more dynamic and engaging animations within designs by animating the anchor points of vector shapes. An anchor point is a fixed point on a graphic object that serves as a reference for scaling, rotating, and positioning. You are able to customize the timing and easing of the animations, as well as the duration and delay of each animation.” See an impressive demo video.

A new plugin by Vijay Verma: ​“The plugin utilizes the Metavatar algorithm to create stunning gradient backgrounds in a variety of cool colors. It also has the added feature of adding noise to make the gradients even more visually striking.”

Last week the team at Webflow introduced Webflow Labs, and this plugin is the first project they’ve launched! Turn your static Figma designs into clean, production-ready Webflow HTML and CSS. Add Webflow Interactions, wire up content using their CMS, and publish the website with one click.

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

Alex Einarsson made a great FigJam plugin that recognizes shapes you draw and converts them to native shapes with editable text. Perfect for wireframing on both tablets and desktops.

Continuing the theme of supercharging built-in features, this plugin takes Figma’s ​“Select all with…” command to the next level by offering a whole range of properties to choose from.

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.
