Publish plugins to the Figma Community

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

You'll need to do the following before you can publish or update a plugin:

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

Before you publish

Plugin review process

Before Figma lists a plugin in the Figma Community, it needs to go through our review process. Figma doesn't review any plugins you choose to share privately within an organization. Learn more about Figma's Plugin Review Guidelines.

When you first submit a plugin for review, Figma will move the plugin to the Published section with an In review badge.

Figma will contact you via your Figma account email to notify you of our decision, our goal is to reach a decision within 5-10 business days.

Once approved, Figma will add a Published badge next to your plugin. If Figma rejects your plugin, you can address any feedback and submit again.

About publishing paid plugins

Creators who meet our eligibility requirements can apply to sell plugins on Community. Learn more about selling resources on Community.

When publishing a paid plugin, keep in mind:

• The creator who first publishes the plugin will be the designated payee. Once the designated payee is set, it cannot be changed.
• You can choose to publish the plugin using one-time payments or a monthly subscription. This cannot be changed after publishing.
• You can choose to offer a yearly discount (between 1 and 95%) for plugins published using a subscription. Users who purchase a yearly subscription to the plugin are locked into the price set at time of purchase for one year. You can toggle this setting as often as needed. This allows you to offer discounts at different times throughout the year.
• Plugins published with a subscription come with a 7 day free trial by default. You can customize the free trial period for paid plugins so users can try your plugin before they purchase it. For more information see the Payments API documentation.
• After a plugin has been published as paid, it cannot be converted to free at a later date.
• Paid plugins cannot be unpublished but may be delisted. Learn more about delisted paid resources.

You can toggle this setting as often as needed. Existing yearly subscriptions will continue even if the Give yearly discount toggle is disabled.

     Note: The Pricing settings are disabled if you attempt to publish a paid plugin that is in a team or organization. Move the plugin to your drafts to enable the Pricing settings.

Publish an update

Publish updates to your plugin if you've made changes to the code or fixed a bug. You can also edit the details of your plugin page at any time, without publishing a new update. Learn how to publish updates to your plugins.

Share your plugin

Figma gives your published plugin its own listing in the Figma Community, this allows other Figma users to find and install your plugins.

Every plugin has a unique URL which you can copy and share with others. Find the plugin URL in the Share section of your plugin listing. It should look something like this: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/uniqueidentifier/name

If you have more than one plugin, you may want to share your creator profile instead. Learn more about Community profiles.
