5 Figma Plugins You’ll Definitely Need as a Designer

These plugins will change how you design forever

Figma is an essential tool, not only for the designers but for everyone who wants to quickly sketch out ideas, make some prototypes, and maybe even experiment with the colors.

It quickly replaced 70% of all the tasks you could do in other apps, such as Photoshop or Illustrator.

But where are the left 30%? The answer is simple — it’s in the plugins.

Thanks to the Figma Community, there are thousands of different plugins with which you can basically EVERYTHING.

Some are for creating gorgeous shadows, some for quick wireframing, and some for creating animation like you’d do in After Effects.

Today, we’re gonna talk about the 5 of them that I use daily and that I as a sr. product designer, can’t live without.
