Custom Figma Plugins That Automate the Work Your Team Hates

IBM found that design thinking teams report a 75% decrease in design time. Custom Figma plugins extend that advantage by automating repetitive tasks, enforcing standards, and connecting Figma to the rest of your stack.

Figma Plugin Development

Custom Figma plugins that automate repetitive design tasks, enforce design system standards, integrate with external tools, and streamline workflows unique to your team.

What's Included

Everything you get with our Figma Plugin Development

Plugin Specification & Design

Detailed functional spec covering user workflows, UI design, API integrations, and edge cases before any code is written.

Plugin Development & Testing

Built with TypeScript for reliability, tested across different file sizes and Figma versions, with error handling for edge cases.

UI/UX for the Plugin Interface

Plugin UI that follows Figma's design patterns and feels native to the tool. No confusing dialogs or clunky workflows.

API Integrations

Connections to your existing tools -- CMS, design token systems, project management, analytics, or internal APIs.

Documentation & Training

User documentation, installation guide, and team training so your designers adopt the plugin immediately and use it correctly.

How We Build Your Plugin

Workflow Analysis

We shadow your design team to identify the repetitive, mechanical tasks that eat the most time. These become the automation candidates.

Plugin Specification

We write a detailed spec covering the plugin's functionality, UI, API integrations, error handling, and edge cases. You approve this before we write any code.

Development & Internal Testing

We build the plugin in TypeScript with Figma's Plugin API, test it with real files of varying complexity, and handle edge cases that would break a less robust implementation.

Beta Testing with Your Team

Your designers use the plugin in their real workflow for a testing period. We collect feedback, fix issues, and refine the experience based on actual usage.

Deployment & Documentation

We deploy the plugin to your Figma organization (private or public), create user documentation, and train your team on usage and troubleshooting.

Ongoing Support & Updates

Figma's API evolves. We maintain the plugin through API changes, add features based on team feedback, and ensure it keeps working as Figma releases new capabilities.

Key Benefits

Reclaim Hours of Design Time Weekly

Every repetitive task a plugin handles is time your designers get back for creative work. Teams with custom plugins typically reclaim 3-5 hours per designer per week.

Enforce Standards Automatically

Linting plugins catch design system violations, naming issues, and accessibility problems in real-time -- before they reach review or development.

Connect Figma to Your Stack

Pull data from your CMS, push design tokens to your codebase, sync with project management tools, or integrate with any API your team relies on.

Reduce Human Error

Manual processes introduce mistakes. Plugins execute the same task perfectly every time -- consistent naming, correct export settings, accurate data, zero typos.

Research & Evidence

Backed by industry research and proven results

Design System Linter: Catching Errors Before Review

Content Population Plugin: Real Data, Zero Effort

Asset Export Automation: 2 Hours to 2 Minutes

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the plugin be private to our organization?

Yes. Figma supports organization-private plugins that only your team can access. We deploy most client plugins this way. If you want to publish publicly on Figma Community, we handle that process too.

What can Figma plugins actually do?

Figma plugins can read and modify any element on the canvas, create and delete components, access and set styles, make external API calls, show custom UI, access local fonts, and interact with Figma's variables and design token systems. The main limitations are that plugins can't access other files or run in the background.

How long does plugin development take?

Simple automation plugins (asset export, layer renaming) can be built and tested in 2-3 weeks. Complex plugins with custom UI and API integrations typically take 4-8 weeks. We scope each project individually based on complexity.

Can you modify or improve an existing plugin?

Yes. We regularly take over maintenance of existing plugins, fix bugs, add features, and refactor code for better performance. If you have a plugin that works but needs improvement, we can audit it and propose targeted upgrades.
