Handy Plugin for Figma
I have been using Figma for UI design as well as graphic design for more than a year and I am in love with this tool as Figma is accessible from the web browser and I can use it from any pcs. To save repetitive work, there are free plugins that are used to fasten my work. So here are the top plugin I have been using.
1. Content Reel
There are many instances where we need to type name, address, email, paragraph, etc. Content Reel is a fantastic plugin developed by Microsoft which enables us to easily add dummy images, icons and texts. This is one of my favourite plugins so far.

2. Iconify
Iconify is used to import icons directly to Figma. As there is repetitive use of icons and saves a lot of time.

3. Remove BG
There are many situations where we need transparent images and in many cases, we need to mask and remove background. So remove BG removes the background using AI technique. To use this plugin we need to login to its official site and get an API key. The process seems tedious but it’s worth trying.

6. Unsplash
In a project where I want to get free images, the Unsplash plugin helps to get images inside Figma easily and this plugin is very much useful where high-quality free photos are required.
This plugin for Figma is for adding 3d elements to the design. There are predefined 3d mockups elements and use the 3d design in our project.

8. Downsize
There might be a situation where the image you imported to Figma is huge and there might be a loading problem or while exporting size is too big. So, Downsize plugin reduces the image size without leaving Figma.
