Product designers are problem solvers. And to solve visual problems effectively, they need the right toolkit. Figma is an indispensable part of their tech stack and paired with the right plugins, it can save you time and lead to new ideas.

No one wants to spend time on repetitive tasks such as aligning elements, naming layers, or hunting for the right assets. These little frustrations add up, pulling focus away from what really matters: designing stand-out products. That’s where Figma plugins come into play. Built by the community, these tools are designed to tackle everyday challenges, saving time and simplifying your workflow.

Our Art Director, Ondřej Půček, has his secret list of plugins that he will share with us today.  We’ll highlight six essential plugins that every product designer should know. From automating tedious tasks to introducing features that push your creativity further, these plugins are here to help you design better products, faster.

🤔 What's Figma? 🔗

Figma is currently one of the most popular tools for designers, and it has been chosen by freelancers and digital teams. You can think of Figma as a cloud-based collaboration design tool for real-time cooperation among designers, copywriters, managers, and developers.

The tool was launched in 2012, and it was adopted quickly by designers and product teams worldwide. With over 13 million users in 2025, it has become the favorite design tool for many. One amazing thing about Figma is the limitless set of plugins offered by the community. Every plugin is useful because it's created to solve a real design problem faced by a user. And today we'll look at some of the top ones.

1. Iconify 🔗

Iconify is a free plugin that allows you to import Material Design icons, FontAwesome, Jam Icons, EmojiOne, Twitter Emoji, and many other icons (more than 100 icon sets containing over 100,000 icons) to a Figma document as vector shapes.

This Figma plugin offers an easy way to import icons into a project. You can browse and search icon sets directly from Figma. No need to copy/paste icons - the plugin will import the icons you select.

The best thing about Iconify is that you can easily use these icons in development because Iconify is also a library that you can embed in your website.

• It allows you to import your own custom SVGs.
• With the drag-and-drop technique, you quickly place emoticons, icons, and logos into your designs.
• In addition, the plugin remembers the last searched pages and used icons which makes it easy to return to the previously used icons and continue where you left off.
• Iconify provides thousands of vector icons in more than a hundred sets, from libraries such as Material Design or Font Awesome and many more.

2. Able 🔗

Able allows you to compare color contrast by analyzing the colors of two selected objects and layers. In addition, Able helps you control the accessibility of colors between text and background. You can also simulate what your colors will look like for people suffering from different types of color blindness.

Able is a plugin with similar visual styling as the Figma interface, and using it feels really seamless. Another considerable advantage of Able is that it updates immediately when you change your selection.

• Able helps you check color contrast and accessibility between text and background layers.
• It allows you to simulate how your design looks for people with different types of color blindness.
• Able offers instant updates, so as soon as you make a change to your selection, the plugin adjusts automatically.

3. Curve Text 🔗

Figma may be one of the leading design tools, but it still lacks native support for curved text. That’s where the Curve Text plugin comes in. It allows you to create text that follows a circular path, making it simple to add text effects to logos, badges, or any design where you need text to flow along a shape.

For designers working with logos or custom typography, Curve Text fills a crucial gap in Figma’s functionality, helping you achieve professional-looking results with minimal effort.

• Makes it possible to add text to circular designs without needing to export to external software.
• Maintain editable text, allowing you to tweak the content at any time.
• Customize the curve, spacing, and rotation for complete control over the text's appearance.

4. Color Blind 🔗

Did you know that according to statistics, up to 60% of the world's population suffers from eye disorders? Color Blind plugin works similarly to Able, but it focuses even more on what the visual representation of your designs will look like from the perspectives of 8 different types of color blindness.

All you need to do is make a selection, and the plugin will clone it and create versions with the colors changed based on what each one would look like to a person with that type of color blindness. We recommend checking the accessibility and readability of designs with this plugin to ensure you don't accidentally create unusable designs for certain groups of people.

• It shows you how your designs would appear to people with different types of color blindness.
• Simply select your design and the plugin will create copies with adjusted colors to reflect how they would look to someone with one of 8 different color vision deficiencies.
• Color Blind helps you produce accessible designs, making sure that people with color blindness can still clearly see and understand your work.
• It's an essential tool for checking the accessibility of your designs before finalizing them.

To use the plugin, choose a device model and select any layer to render it on the device's screen. For best results, select a layer close to the device's screen dimensions (or the same aspect ratio).

• Helps you create device mockups easily by choosing a device model like iPhone 11 or Macbook Pro.
