When you’re a designer, there’s always more to do than time allows. There’s always the small mundane tasks that take up most of the time, hindering work.

That’s where Figma plugins come in to your rescue.

Best ones aren’t about adding bells and whistles to the design. They’re uber practical and they make a noticeable difference to how quickly you can bring your idea to fruition.

We have hand-picked and rounded up a few Figma plugins that you may find useful.

1. Sparkliner:

This plugin will help you generate sleek and minimal graphs. All you have to do is drop in your data from Excel, CSV, JSON, or type it in directly, and watch it being created into a graph. You can also explore different visual patterns for your visualisation.

2. Redline:

When it’s time for developer hand-off, detailing measurements, specs, and redlines can take hours. But with Figma Redlines, you can simplify that entire process.

This plugin allows you to generate clean, customisable redlines in seconds, with control over styles, colours, and units. It lets you measure and annotate everything without the usual hassle.

3. Super PDF:

With Super PDF you can import, export, merge, and view PDF files directly within Figma and FigJam. You can also combine multiple frames into a single pdf and export it.

4. Clear Guides:

You can remove all the guides from all the selected frames at once. It is useful while working on older files where a lot of guides were used.

5. Figma Sound Kit Plugin:

This plugin will let you add standard sounds to prototypes. You can access three sound kits and 1000+ sound files.

6. Filter/effects:

This plugin gives you a range of 60+ effects to apply directly to your images. Select where you want to apply the effect, apply the effects, and save. You can also tweak it or reapply the effects as needed.

From essentials like brightness and contrast to more experimental effects like noise displacement and ripple, it’s designed to let you experiment while keeping the process tight.

Some of the effects you’ll find inside:

Noise RGB
Simplex Noise
Noise Displace
Fluid Destruction
Ripple
Gaussian Blur
Lens Blur
Emboss
Night Vision
Neon

& 50 more.

7. Stippling:

You can create stippling effects on your design with this plugin. All you need to do is pick an image or frame, adjust the settings (you can play around with shape, size, spacing, brightness, and more) according to your preference, and you’re all set.

8. Copy & Rotate:

As the name suggests, with this plugin you can create radial patterns by copying and rotating elements. You can easily edit every copy it generates, since it builds upon Figma components. You can choose number of copies needed, the rotation radius, and even skipping certain elements.

9. Skew:

This plugin lets you skew any layer or group of layers easily. Pick your layer, move the sliders to skew the layers up to ±90° in each axis, and you’ll see the changes happen in real-time.

10. Gradient Map:

With this plugin, you can quickly generate gradient maps from any image in Figma. For that, you need to select an image, choose from a set of predefined gradients, or create your own. You can add up to 8 colours.

11. Vector Fields:

Vector Fields plugin will let you experiment and generate patterns of your liking. You can create visually compelling patterns using dots, lines, arrows, triangles, or even custom SVGs. Just pick a frame, and the plugin automatically adjusts everything to fit.
