1. Unsplash

Unsplash is no stranger. You can use it to add beautiful, high-resolution photographs to your designs. The Unsplash plugin helps you accomplish the same thing without switching between your applications. Additionally, you have the option to add random images from a category, which can save you time exploring. Also, the ability to add multiple images at once makes it a powerful plugin

2. Charts

Nobody forewarned us that we would be making so many charts in our role as designers. Fortunately, you can speed up your job with various chart plugins that are widely available. Charts is one of the ones I use the most. It offers a wide variety of alternatives and is free. Although you cannot input actual data, it can help you get speedy approvals during wire-framing.

3. Stark

To create a product that is truly accessible, Stark is a fantastic plugin. It includes numerous features that can help you ensure that your product is usable by everyone. However, only paid users may use most of the functionality. Personally, I use it to check the text’s colour contrast.

4. Design Lint

Which plugin would you choose if you could only have one? Design lint would be my immediate answer. This plugin scans your file across all layers to identify all the styles that are missing from your style guide. You can quickly fix multiple inaccuracies with only a few clicks. Thereby saving you time and making it easier to produce consistent designs.

5. Better Font Picker

Figma does not preview the font style with the font name. When selecting a typeface, there is a lot of guesswork involved. Fortunately, the Better Font Pickerplugin allows you to preview while scrolling through the typefaces. This helps you to choose the finest alternative without having to recall font names or experiment.

6. Flyover

Ever so often, we all share screens and present our designs. Even while we would want to show only the prototypes, we are all aware that there are times when you need everyone’s eyes on the canvas. Regardless of how well we name the sections, we still need to scroll to find the right frame. With the help of Flyover, you can bookmark the key sections/frames and aesthetically navigate to them, without performing the nervous cursor dance.

7. Icon Resizer

Because we swap icons according to requirements, it’s essential that they are all the same size so that our designs don’t vary with each swap. While the bounding box size needs to be the same pixel-wise, the icons need to appear the same visually. Icon Resizer ensures both are accurate.
