40+ Must-Have Figma Plugins For Designers In 2025

There are several reasons for that.

Here are the main ones:

Plugins in Figma extend the platform's design capabilities. They let you go beyond the platform's native features, from generating content and icons to automating repetitive tasks.

They eliminate the need for third-party tools. Instead of switching between different apps, you can handle everything right inside Figma—saving time and keeping your workflow seamless.

They help automate routine tasks. With plugins, you can speed up repetitive actions like renaming layers, generating mock data, or creating consistent styles—freeing up more time for actual creative work.

And best of all, most Figma plugins are completely free—so you can supercharge your workflow without spending a cent.

Now that we've covered why they are useful, let's look at the different types available, and which free Figma plugins you can use to speed up your workflow.

Insert free, high-quality images into your designs. This plugin grants you free access to a vast photo library without leaving the editor.

Browse illustrations from different artists, insert them into your layout, and arrange them in any order. You can use these illustrations in both personal and commercial projects.

Remove the background from any image in seconds. After removing the background, the image retains its original size and quality.

Add high-resolution images to Figma without losing their quality.

Automatically removes any extra transparent pixels around an image. For example, if you remove a background from a photo to isolate an object, this plugin cleans up the leftover transparent space so it's easier to move and position the final image.

A library of classic-style emojis for quick insertion in Figma. All emojis share a consistent style and are grouped by category.

• Blobs generates random vector shapes resembling ink splotches.
• Wave&Curve creates various curves and waves.

Both help you quickly produce unique shapes for creative website designs.

A large set of device mockups—phones, tablets, and laptops. The free version includes a limited selection from each category, while a paid subscription unlocks the full collection.

Allows you to import Tilda's Zero Block standard grids and display them as Grid styles, eliminating the need to manually create them in Figma. This simplifies working with frames and preparing your layouts for transfer to Tilda.

A large library of wireframe templates for rapid prototyping. Ideal for starting a new interface or testing initial concepts. Each file is in SVG format for easy editing.

Allows to effortlessly generate various types of tables. Useful when your website layout requires a tabular structure.

Quickly deletes unwanted items in a project, such as hyperlinks, styles, variables, etc., with a single action.
