10 Figma plugins every designer must have
Today I am sharing the Figma plugin that just got me a lot easier to my workflow. A few days ago I wrote an article about XD Plugin. Check it out. If you are new.
1. Lorem ipsum
Generate ‘Lorem ipsum’ to fill your text layers with dummy text.Select all the text layers you want to generate ‘Lorem ipsum’ for then click ‘Generate’ — it will generate for each layer uniquely. ‘Auto-generate’ will automatically fill the selected layers with the perfectly amount of ‘Lorem ipsum’ to fit their existing frame.
2. Swap
Easily swap two selected objects.
- Swap any objects. Frames, groups, layers, whatever
- Keeps the original size of objects and their position
- Works with nested objects
How to use:

4. Content Reel
Browse or search content to find published collections of text strings, images, and icons. Having trouble finding what you need from existing content? You can create your own text and image content by using Add.
5. Image tracer
‘Image tracer’ traces black & white bitmap images, and turns them into a vector layer.
When you run Image tracer; it will take whatever layers you have selected and combine them together into one image (regardless of if they’re already a vector or not) — then it will convert it to ‘black & white’ and attempt to trace it into a new vector layer.
You can view the image it is tracing, by changing the dropdown in the options popup from ‘Original image’ to ‘Processed image’.
