It shares the ideology of an architectural blueprint but for a digital product, i.e., Application or Website. The wireframe is a two-dimensional skeleton of a webpage or app. Wireframe helps determine the flow for the user, structure, and information architecture of an app or webpage. As a wireframe usually represents the initial product concept, styling, color, and graphics are kept to a minimum. Wireframes can be drawn by hand or created digitally, depending on how much detail is required.

Not diving deeper into what wireframing is, here is the top Figma plugins list to work on a wireframe for your following product.

1. Wireframe

The wireframe is a fantastic plugin for Figma Developed by @itsmnthn and @imdeepjoshi at @HexorialStudio. It is a free-to-use plugin that comes in handy while doing wireframing on the fly and helps you brainstorming the idea with many.

It simplifies the process in the early stage of a project like planning and brainstorming, “Wireframe” Plugin plays a significant role in this process. It makes it easier because a team should spend more time on thinking awesome design ideas, not on the basics they already know. A wireframe has a list of templates for Web, Mobile, and Tables, and all are free and simple to use.

2. Wire Box

Wire box is developed by @seanehalpin, which converts the existing design to and pink-colored lo-fi wireframe, enabling you to focus more on UX, which is a great way to analyse the UX of an existing design and make improvements to it.

Another use case can be isometric illustrations. Adjust the parameters and get back a unique excellent placeholder text!

4. Hand Wireframe

The Hand Wireframe is developed by @sonnylazuardi, which is used to create handmade shapes that can create a wireframe to brainstorm, and it also converts your existing design to hand-made wireframe with just one click. At the same time, it has limited support for only Text, Rectangle, Circle, and Lines. It is a great plugin to play; I like the idea.

5. AutoFlow

AutoFlow plugin for Figma

You may have used this plugin before; it is one of the most used plugins in Figma. AutoFlow is developed by @zhayitong and @davidtzhao. The work of the plugin is as simple as it sounds. It draws arrows between two objects and keeps them connected even we move the object and smartly avoiding obstacles. It is not a plugin for only wireframing, but it comes in handy while working with the flow in wireframes.

6. Pencil Pal

@ntfromchicago developed the Pencil Pal. It is not precisely a wireframe tool, but it improves the pencil tool to get the most out of it. Using a touch device to work than creating wireframes from scratch using the plugin would be a good experience. It comes in handy while working with the team and presenting ideas on the fly.

Moreover, if you are looking for Wireframe Kits in the form of a Figma file, this link will help you. There is more than 100 wireframe project you can try and use them as you like.
