  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Users on Any plan

  Users with Edit access to a File can run a plugin in that File.

  Users in an Organization can install and run plugins approved by their organization.

  Looking to browse plugins? Visit the Plugins Page to discover and install popular plugins.

  In Figma, plugins allow you to perform tasks within a File. Plugins can view and interpret layers and objects, manipulate them, or create new ones.

  • You can only run plugins in the Editor.
  • You need to run a plugin manually.
  • You can only run one plugin at a time.
  • Plugins can't perform actions in the background.

  Instructions for using a plugin will vary between plugins. Some plugins will perform a user action on the canvas when you run them. Others will require you to adjust inputs or settings, before performing the user action.

  You may need to select Frames, objects, or layers before running the plugin. Test run the plugin - or check the plugin listing - to know what selections they support.

  Tip! Want to see which plugins have been used on a File or object? Check out the Plugins section of the Properties Panel. Learn more about Plugin properties.

  Run a Plugin

  You can run a plugin from a few places in the Editor.

  File Menu

  1. Go to the File menu
     in the top-left corner of Figma.
  2. Hover over Plugins to view your installed plugins.
  3. Select the plugin from the options:

  Right-click menu

  1. Right-click anywhere on the canvas.
  2. Hover over Plugins in the menu.
  3. Select the plugin you want to run:
  4. Depending on the plugin, you may need to interact with some UI to perform the user action. Complete any on-screen instructions to run the plugin.
  5. The plugin will apply the user action(s) to the currently selected layer/frame/object/file.

  Tip! If you've used a plugin already, you can run it again using the Run last plugin function. Find this under the File menu > Plugins > Run Last plugin.

  Or, use the keyboard shortcut:

  • Mac: Command Option P
  • Windows: Alt Control P

  Plugins in the Properties Panel

  Plugins developers can choose to attach information to the File, layer, or object for future reference. This details what user actions the plugin performed.

  When you select that layer, you'll be able to view the details of the plugins in the Plugins section of the Properties Panel. This allows you to:

  • View what plugins were used on your selection
  • See the details of any user actions. Figma will display the first three lines of any user actions.
  • Run the plugin from the Properties Panel
  • Install the plugin without leaving the File
  • Remove the plugin from the layer/object/file

  

  For example: the Mapsicle plugin allows you to insert a static map into a layer. When we select that layer, we can see the Mapsicle plugin in the Plugins section of the Properties Panel. We can then click the Open in Mapsicle prompt to edit the map.

  View Plugins

  Plugin information in the Properties Panel will vary depending on your selection in the canvas.

  • Individual layers: When selecting an object or layer, you can see any plugin information still attached to that selection in the Plugins section of the Properties Panel.
  • Multiple layers: Selecting multiple layers or objects won't display plugins in the Properties Panel. Unless the plugin has been used on all layers or objects in the selection. Select a single layer to view any attached plugins.
  • File or Page: When nothing is selected, you can see Plugins that were used on the entire File or Page, not a specific layer or object.

  Tip! To clear selection, press the Esc key.

  

  Not seeing plugins in the Properties Panel?

  • Make sure the plugin has been updated by its developer to support descriptions in the Properties Panel.
  • If you're a member of an Organization, make sure the plugin has been approved by your Organization's Admin.
  • If a plugin was used then removed, it won't display in the Properties Panel.

  Install and run Plugins

  You can also run a plugin from the Plugins section of the Properties Panel. Click the plugin name to run the plugin:

  • Installed: The plugin will run. Some plugins will launch a window to use them, like editing a map in Mapsicle or a note in Notepad. Others will re-run their task and display any results in the Properties Panel, like a plugin that checks color contrast.
  • Not installed: Figma will ask you if you want to install the plugin. Once installed, you can run the plugin from the Properties Panel by clicking the plugin name again.

  

  Remove Plugins

  To remove a plugin and its information from a File, Page, or selected object, click the — button next to the plugin name.

• Manage plugins in an Organization

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Supported on the Figma Organization plan

  Only Organization Admins can approve, install, and uninstall plugins for the Organization.

  Plugins are third-party scripts or applications that extend the functionality of an application. Figma plugins only run in the Editor and let you to perform tasks within files.

  In a Figma Organization, you have access to extra features that control how members use and share plugins.

  • Share both private and public plugins within your Organization
  • Use the approved plugin list to choose which plugins members can use within the Organization space
  • Install or uninstall plugins for everyone in the Organization

  Private and public plugins

  Organizations will often have their own systems and tools they have developed. They can include private information or data that members can't share outside the Organization.

  Figma supports private plugins in an Organization. This allows other members of the Organization to use these plugins, without having to share them with the rest of the Figma Community.

  • Any member of an Organization can make and share a private plugin.
  • Only Team Admins can share publish plugins to a team's public profile.
  • Only Organization Admins can share publish plugins to a Organization's public profile.

  Learn more about using and making plugins in an Organization →

  Note: An Organization Admin can change a plugin's access, at any time. This allows you to update a public plugin so that it's only shared with the Organization, or share a popular private plugin with the wider Figma Community.

  To update plugin access you can publish an update to the plugin. Update the Publish to setting to change who can access the plugin. If you're changing a plugin from private to public, it will need to go through our review process.

• Make plugins for the Figma Community

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Users on any plan can develop plugins for the Figma Community.

  You can only register and publish plugins from the Figma Desktop App to develop plugins. The Desktop App is only available for macOS and Windows.

  Plugins are third-party scripts or applications that extend the functionality of another app.

  You can use plugins in the Editor to customize your experience, or create more efficient workflows.

  Plugins interact with Figma via a dedicated Plugin API.

  We built the Plugin API around a set of fixed controlled endpoints. This ensures your plugins won't break when Figma releases new features and updates.

  • The Figma Plugins API gives both you read and write access to Files.
  • Plugins can also use external Web APIs such as the Google Maps API. This allows you to create plugins that can view, modify and create objects or layers.
  • Plugins can perform one or more "User Actions". User Actions are usually short-lived and are always manually invoked by the user. They can run immediately, or may require input from the user before applying any changes.
  • Only one plugin can be active at a time. Plugins that run in the background - or respond to changes in a File - aren't currently supported.

  Make plugins for Figma

  This article outlines the plugin development process in Figma. We designed this as a supplementary resource to our developer documentation.

  1. Register a Plugin with Figma
  2. Build and test your Plugin (Visit the Figma Plugin Developer site)
  3. Publish a Plugin to the Figma Community
  4. Manage plugins as a developer

  Check out our Figma Plugin Developer site for a complete guide on making plugins for Figma

  You must have the Figma Desktop app installed to make plugins. We recommend building plugins using TypeScript in Visual Studio Code. If you're not familiar with TypeScript, you can still build a plugin with Javascript.

  Figma Plugin Examples

  Here's some examples of existing Figma plugins:

  • Content Buddy: allows you to find text within your designs and replace it with the actual copy.
  • Themer: allows you to swap between published styles from your libraries, in bulk.
  • Content Reel: helps you to bring data into your designs. Including text strings, avatars and icons.
  • Map Maker: allows you to insert customized maps into any shape layer.
  • Figmotion: allows you to animate objects within a Frame, without having to leave Figma.
  • Stark: checks the contrast of a selected layer against WCAG 2.1 guidelines.

  

• Register a plugin for development

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Users on Any Figma plan can develop plugins for the Figma community

  Users must use the Desktop App to develop plugins. Download it here.

  The Desktop App is only available for Mac and Windows.

  This article covers a single specific step in the plugin development process. Check out an overview of the entire process in our Make Plugins for Figma article.

  Find all the information you need to get started writing plugins on the Figma plugin developers page.

  Register a Plugin

  When you register a plugin, Figma will create a new plugin manifest on your computer. This includes the folders, templates, and information you'll need to build your plugin.

  You will need to register a plugin before you can start developing it. You must use the Figma Desktop app to develop a plugin.

  1. Open the Figma Desktop app
  2. In the file browser, click on your name to view your account.
  3. Click on the Plugins tab to view your plugins.
  4. In the In Development column, click the Create your own plugin link.
  5. Enter a name for your plugin. You can change your plugin name when you publish it.

     Want to upload an existing Figma plugin? Select the Link existing plugin option to link your manifest to the new plugin.

     
  6. Click Continue to go to the next step.
  7. Choose a plugin template:
     • Empty: A blank slate where you can build your plugin from the ground up.
     • Run once: This is a template for a plugin that runs on the canvas, without any further interaction from the user. Use this template if you don't need to build any UI.
     • With UI's and Browser API's: Use this template if you want to create a plugin with an interactive UI. Or, if you want to use browser APIs as part of your plugin.
       
       
  8. Click Save as to create a new manifest.
  9. Figma will prompt you to choose a name and a location on your computer to save the manifest to. Enter a name and location, then click Save to confirm the download.
  10. Figma will also provide download links for any related tools.
      • Javascript: Download Node.js
      • TypeScript: Copy the install code to run in the terminal

      

  11. Click Okay to close the modal and return to the Plugins Page. Your new plugin is now listed in the Development column..

  Want to open your manifest from Figma? Click on the plugin and select Reveal in Finder.

• Publish a plugin to the Community

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Users on any team or plan can develop plugins for the Figma community.

  Users must use the Desktop App to develop plugins. Download the Figma Desktop app. The Desktop App is only available for macOS and Windows.

  This article covers a single specific step in the plugin development process. Learn more in about creating plugins on our Plugin Developer site, or our Make Plugins for Figma article.

  When you're ready to share your plugin you can submit your plugin to the Figma Community. This allows other Figma users to install and run your plugin(s).

  Publish your plugin

  You'll need to have done the following before you can publish your plugin:

  • Download the Figma Desktop app →
  • Register a plugin for development →
  • Enable two-factor authentication →

  Note: You'll need to have two-factor on your Figma account to publish plugins to the Community. This includes publishing updates. You won't need to use two-factor authentication if you sign into Figma via a third-party (SAML SSO or Google SSO).

  Prepare to publish

  Every plugin will have its own page in the Figma Community. This allows other members of the Community to browse, search, and find your plugin.

  You'll need to provide some information about your plugin, which Figma will display on your plugin page. We recommend getting this set up before you start the publishing process.

  • Choose a name for your plugin. This can be something descriptive or a little creative. Users can search for your plugin using this name, but you also have tags to add relevant keywords.
  • Create an icon to represent your plugin in the Community. Figma will use this icon to identify your plugin in the Community and in the Editor. The recommended dimensions are 128 x 128.
  • Create some cover art for the top of your plugin page. The recommended dimensions are 1920 x 960 (safe area: 1600 x 960).
  • Write a description of your plugin. Use this field to explain what the plugin does, how to use it, and a sales pitch. If your plugin requires a subscription, we recommended mentioning this first. You can format your description using some basic  text formatting.
  • Add up to 12 keywords or tags to classify your File. We support alphanumeric characters (a-z and 1-9), but no special characters or punctuation. Max 25 characters per tag.
  • As a plugin creator, it's your responsibility to provide support for your plugins. You'll need to provide an email address, website, or help center for your support contact.

  

  Monetization: You cannot display advertisements to users within design files, or as part of a plugin's UI. However, there are no restrictions around creating websites or profiles for your plugin.

  There isn't currently a way to monetize plugins in Figma Community itself. If you require a paid subscription, you can direct users to a third party site from your plugin description.

  Submit your plugin

  When you're ready to share your plugin with the Figma Community, you can submit it for review. You can only submit plugins from the Figma Desktop app.

  1. Open the Figma Desktop app.
  2. Click on your name in the File Browser to open your account.
  3. Select the Plugins tab to view the plugins you have In Development.
  4. Click on the plugin you'd like to publish and select Publish from the options.
  5. Upload your Icon and Cover Art.
  6. Update the plugin's Name if needed.
  7. Add a Description of the plugin to set your plugin apart. Figma supports the following formatting:
     • Bold
     • Italic
     • Strikethrough
     • Header 1
     • Header 2
     • Bulleted list
     • Numbered list
     • Add hyperlink
     • Inline code
     • Code block
  8. Add any tags and a support contact.
  9. Who you can publish as will depend on your permissions and if you're a member of a team or Organization. If applicable, choose the Author and where to Publish to. (Learn more below)
  10. Click Review to submit your plugin.
  11. Before Figma lists a plugin in the Figma Community, it needs to go through our review process. Figma doesn't review private plugins. Read our Review Guidelines.
  12. Figma will move your plugin to the Published section, with an In review badge.

  Tip! Submitted for review, but noticed a mistake? You can still push updates to your plugin during the review process. Learn more about publishing updates and providing support in our Maintain and support your plugin article.

  Choose author

  If you are an Admin of a team, or an Organization Admin, you may be able to publish to more than one profile. Learn more in our Who can publish Files and Plugins? article.

  You can choose which profile you want to publish to via the Author field. If you aren't a member of an Organization, or a Team Admin, this will be your name in Figma.

  

  Publish to Organization or Community

  If you're a member of a Figma Organization, you can also choose to publish a plugin privately. This allows other members of your Organization to use your plugin.

  • Select Organization to publish privately to your Organization
  • Select Community to publish publicly to the Figma Community

  

  Plugin reviews

  Figma will contact you via your Figma account email to notify you of our decision. Our goal is to reach a decision within 2 - 5 business days.

  Figma will add a Published badge next to your plugin once it has been approved. If Figma rejects your plugin, you may submit again after addressing any feedback.

  Warning! Any attempts to exploit the Plugins API will result in immediate removal. We will also ban you from publishing future plugins to the community.

  This includes but is not limited to: Providing false information, plagiarism, deceitful manipulation of user files, and theft of data.

  Share your Plugin

  Figma lists published Plugins in the Figma Community. This allows other Figma users to find and install the plugins you've created.

  You can share a link to a specific plugin's listing, or to your publisher profile, if you have more than one plugin. You can find the plugin URL in the Share section of your plugin listing.

  Plugin URLs follow these formats:

  • Plugin listing: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/identifier/name
  • User profile: https://www.figma.com/community/user
• Manage plugins as a developer

  Before you start

  Who can use this feature

  Users on Any Figma plan can develop plugins for the Figma community

  Users must use the Desktop App to develop plugins. Download the Figma Desktop app.

  The Desktop App is only available for macOS and Windows.

  As the plugin's developer it's your responsibility to assist your plugin's users with technical issues. Figma does not provide support for third-party applications.

  As part of the plugin submission process you will need to add a Support contact. This can be an email address users can contact, or a link to a website or help center.

  

  Figma built the Plugin API around a set of fixed, controlled endpoints. This ensures your plugins won't break as Figma releases updates and new features.

  If there is something wrong with the Plugin API itself, please let us know so that we can address any issues: support@figma.com.

  Have questions about the plugin development process or a specific endpoint? For a complete guide, check out the Get Help page of the Plugin Developer site.

  Publish updates

  Once Figma approves your plugin, you don't need to submit your plugin for further review. This means you can publish any updates immediately.

  When you publish an update, Figma will update the plugin for every user. Users will only have access to the latest version of your plugin.

  It's not possible for users to revert to a previous version of the plugin. However, you may republish an earlier version of the plugin, if you need to roll back any changes.

  The process for submitting an update is the same as the publishing process. You can update any information about your plugin, including the name, description, tags, and any artwork.

  Note: At the moment, only the original publisher will be able to publish an update to a plugin. It's not possible to publish a plugin to more than one profile, or list more than one publisher.

  Publish an update

  1. Open the Figma Desktop app.
  2. Click on your name to view your account.
  3. Click on the Plugins tab to view your plugins.
  4. Click the next to the plugin you'd like to update.
  5. Select Publish a New Release from the options.
  6. Figma will display a new Version History notes field. Enter a description of any changes you've made or bugs you're addressing, with this version.
  7. Click Review to complete the process.
  8. Figma will update the plugin for everyone that has it installed.

  Remove Plugins

  If you're a developer of a Figma Plugin, you can remove a plugin at any stage of the development process.

  In Development

  If you decide to cease development of a plugin, or want to start from scratch, you can remove the plugin. This will remove the plugin from Figma, but won't delete the manifest from your computer.

  1. Open the Figma Desktop app.
  2. Click on your account and go to the Plugins tab.
  3. In the In Development section, click on the plugin you want to remove.
  4. Select Unlink from the options.
  5. Figma will remove the plugin from your Figma account. You will still be able to access the manifest on your computer.

  Published

  You can also delete published plugins to remove them from the Figma Community.

  Users who have installed the plugin will no longer be able to run the plugin, or view the plugin listing. They will not receive a notification that you've removed the plugin.

  We recommend warning your users of your plans to remove the plugin. For example: you can update your listing or any third-party sites with the date you will remove the plugin.

  Caution: It's not possible to restore a deleted plugin. Deleting a plugin will also remove any likes and installs you have acquired, even if you publish the same plugin in the future.

  1. Open the Figma Desktop app.
  2. Click on your account and go to the Plugins tab.
  3. In the Published section, click the three dots next to the plugin you want to remove.

• Plugin Review Guidelines

  Caution: This is an evolving document, so its contents may change over time. If you have any questions or concerns around our review guidelines, please reach out to reviews@figma.com.

  Figma is incredibly excited to be introducing plugins to our community!

  Developers like you help our community discover new ways to design and explore Figma. We can't wait to see what you've created.

  Before a plugin can be listed in the Figma plugin directory, it needs to go through our review process.

  To make the submission process as smooth and seamless as possible, we have created a set of guidelines. These outline what is required to make it through the approval process.

  Before You Submit

  When you are ready to submit, please make sure you have done the following:

  • Tested your app extensively for crashes and bugs.
  • Ensured your plugin description and image(s) are complete and accurate. Profanity in the name or description of your plugin is not accepted.
  • Established a way for users to contact you for support. It's your responsibility to provide support for your plugin's users. You can provide them with an email address, or a link to a website or help center.

  What to Expect

  Our goal is to reach a decision ASAP, ideally within 3-7 business days. We will contact you via your Figma account email to notify you of our decision.

  If your plugin has been rejected, we'll send you an email to clarify and provide a brief explanation. You may submit your plugin again for review, after addressing any feedback.

  Warning: Any attempts to exploit the Plugins API (provide false information, plagiarism, deceitful manipulation of user files, or theft of data) will result in immediate removal. You will also be banned from publishing future plugins to the community.

   

  Review Guidelines

  1. Safety
  2. Business
  3. Usability
  4. Legal

  1. Safety

  We want our users to feel confident that installing Figma plugins is safe and non-offensive.

  We will not allow any plugins that are aimed to be malicious or damaging to our users or their work.

  Authors may not share their Figma account or password information with other users or otherwise license, sell, transfer, or assign plugins.

  1. Objectionable Content
     1. Content that is offensive, insensitive, upsetting, or intended to disgust is not permitted.
  2. Official API Usage
     1. Plugins can only leverage official plugin APIs and cannot require users to install separate packages that manipulate Figma on the Web or the Desktop App.
  3. Developer Contact Information
     1. Authors must be individuals on a Figma plan (Starter, Pro, Organization) or companies on the Figma Organization plan. Attempts to artificially represent a plugin author as a company may result in your plugin being rejected
     2. Please ensure that your contact information is reliable for users in the event they have any questions, support issues, or feedback.

  2. Business

  Our hope is that Figma plugins are made available and accessible to the entire Figma community, regardless of their ability to pay for services.

  While we do not offer functionality that supports payments through Figma, we do allow for developers to use a third party to facilitate monetizing your plugin.

  1. Monetization Policy
     1. We allow plugins to direct users to a third party to allow for monetization. We reserve the right to reject plugins that attempt to monetize in poor taste.
  2. Advertising Policy
     1. Plugins may not display ads to Figma users. Please do not insert advertisements into design files or present ads in the plugin UI.

  3. Usability

  We want all of the plugins available to our community to be useful and valuable. If your plugin is trivial or intended to be creepy or uncomfortable, we may not approve it.

  1. Plugin Completeness
     1. Please make sure your plugin is completed, functions as intended, and does not include temporary content. We will reject plugins that crash or have obvious bugs.
     2. Please do not use developer error messages to communicate with end users.
  2. Complete and Accurate Metadata
     1. It should be clear to users that the plugin they are installing does what they expected it to do. Please include an accurate description, screenshot, or previews so that the users will not be surprised by any hidden functionality.
  3. Design
     1. We highly recommend matching your plugin to Figma's UI so we can create a seamless experience for our users.
     2. If there are any concerns with usability, or any other negative externalities, we may reject the plugin.
  4. Performance
     1. If your plugin negatively impacts the overall performance or experience within Figma, we may reject it. An example of this would be a long-running background process.
     2. Your plugin should deliver the appropriate notifications if the user is offline and your plugin cannot perform offline.
     3. Plugins that stop working or offer a low quality experience may be removed at any time.

  4. Legal

  Plugins are expected to comply with the law. It is ultimately your responsibility to make sure that your plugin is not doing anything illegal. You should consult with a lawyer if you are unsure about something.

  Please do not rely on these guidelines to make sure you are in compliance with the law.

  1. Intellectual Property
     1. Ensure that your plugins only use content that you created or have a license to use. Your plugin may be removed if you use content without permission.
  2. Gaming, Gambling, Lotteries
     1. No gambling or sweepstake-related usage is permitted.
