5 Figma Plugins to Save Time
There is a wide range of plugins available for Figma, so it can be hard to know which ones are the best. To save you time, I’ve put together a list of five Figma plugins that can help you save time and get creative with your designs.
Plugin 1: Unsplash
Cost: FREE!
Firstly, we start with the Unsplash plugin. This is a great way to find the perfect images and photos for your project quickly. With this plugin, you can search through millions of high-quality images without leaving the Figma application.
This means that you don’t have to spend time downloading and uploading images. It also makes it easy to collaborate with other designers, as you can quickly add images to your shared project, which the other designers can see and use.
Image Injector is a similar plugin that uses images from a folder on your computer.
Plugin 2: Styler
Cost: Free!
The Styler plugin is a real time saver. This plugin is a quick way to create all your colour and typography styles with a button click. Styler eliminates the time needed to click into the colour/typography styles and name them all individually.
Styler works by taking the name of the shape and the colour used in that shape to create the colour style. This means if you have ten shapes with different colours and names, it will pull all the information together and create ten different styles for you. For the typography styles, it will pull the text input and turn that into the name of the typography style and use all the text information used as the properties of the style.
Plugin 3: Content Reel
Cost: FREE!
The Content Reel plugin is a fast way to add content to your designs. With Content Reel, you can add text, images, icons, and even add your own custom content that can help fill in quickly on your designs.
Whether it’s names, jobs, avatars, maps, icons or many more that you want to add. Content Reel can help speed up the process by creating and filling in to create a more real-world than ‘Lorem Ipsum’.
