Figma is already a design powerhouse, but the right plugins can take it to the next level. These are some of the plugins our team uses to streamline their workflows and leave more room for creative thinking.
1. html.to.design
html.to.design is a powerful plugin that allows you to import live website designs directly into Figma. By simply pasting a URL, it automatically converts the HTML and CSS into editable Figma layers. It’s a huge time-saver for designers and developers who need to quickly mock up an existing site for redesigns or audits without manually recreating every element.
2. Restore Image Dimensions
Ever resized an image in Figma and then realized you needed it back to its original size? Restore Image Dimensions fixes that in one click by reverting any image to its natural resolution. This is especially helpful for maintaining asset quality, avoiding pixellated images and making sure you’re working with the correct image proportions. A win for both designers and developers.
3. Material Symbols
Material Symbols puts Google’s extensive Material Design icon library right at your fingertips in Figma. Browse thousands of icons, drop them straight into your designs, and skip the tedious work of hand-drawing or downloading assets. Every icon is a crisp, perfectly proportioned vector, helping you keep your workflow fast and consistent.
4. Lorem ipsum
Sometimes you just need placeholder text to see how your layout holds up before real content arrives. Despite its strengths, Figma doesn’t have a built-in placeholder text generator yet. This plugin generates instant filler text in various lengths and formats directly in Figma. It’s simple, but it keeps your designs moving forward without waiting for the final copy.
It also includes a fake data function, letting you populate mock-ups with realistic personal information like names, emails, and addresses. Perfect for prototypes that need believable content.
5. Lottielab
Bring your designs to life, with a familiar Figma-like experience. Lottielab allows you to import your work straight from Figma, letting you turn buttons, icons, and entire screens into interactive and dynamic animations. Make quick work with a range of preset animations or fine-tune your movement with keyframes. It’s motion design made easy and a must-have for prototypes, micro-interactions and making your concepts finally “pop”.
While Figma already gives designers the tools to build and create at speed, with the right plugins it we can really take advantage of its full potential. Whether you need to import websites, restore image quality, add icons or animate your designs, these plugins cut out the busywork and keep you focused on the ideas that matter. Add them to your toolkit and work faster, smoother and smarter.
