Design Tools

Looking for the UI/UX Resource that will help you kick-off your next project? Do not waste time by creating everything from scratch. Build design system, maintain consistency & speed up your workflow. Check out Prime Design System.

Plugins! They are essential to modern design tools. I have mentioned many times that they have added extra power to Sketch. Now I would like to show you how 7 plugins may help you kick-off the project and boost the design workflow in Figma!

RenameIt

This is the legendary plugin. Those of you who use also Sketch must know it. You may rename everything with it (except text layers content). It is super fast to use!

Styler

If you do not use UI Design Starter Kit for new projects, you have to establish good styles structure & naming convention on your own. This plugin will help you with this task!

Component Cloner

One of the drawbacks of Figma I found when I started using it for my projects is that there is no quick way to clone components. Fortunately, there is a plugin for that!

Component Replacer

Building Complex Components requires replacing them with various UI elements. With Component Replacer, the process is much faster!

Stark

We all know that accessibility is essential for UI Design. Stark is a well-known solution that helps you to ensure it in your projects. Use the official plugin to sleep well. 😉

Palette

If your client does not have a strict brand or leaves you a space to create a color palette. This Figma plugin is a perfect place to start!

Find and Replace

While RenameIt takes care of renaming layer & frame names. With “Find and Replace,” you will modify the content of the text layers quickly!

Additional workflow boosters…

I repeat this every time someone is opening blank canvas: Never start UI Design projects from scratch! Well structured Styles, UI Components library, and more useful stuff may be found in UI Design Starter Kit.

The Kits of this type are useful to kick-off a project, build Design System or just a prototypes & wireframes. They are real time-savers. That is why I create Prime for Sketch… and now Prime is coming to Figma! You may preorder it now!

To conclude

I hope you found the collection of plugins useful. They help me with my daily work. What are your favorite plugins for Figma? Let me know!
