We install these on every new Figma license. Free, paid, doesn’t matter. The five plugins we would not work without in 2026.
The five we always install
1. Design Lint (free)
Catches missing fills, strokes, and off-spec colours before you publish. Required install for any team over two designers. More design system plugins.
2. Anima (free + $31/mo)
Best figma-to-code plugin. Generates React or HTML clean enough to use. Full figma-to-code shortlist.
3. Tokens Studio (free + ~$42/mo Pro)
Multi-dimensional themes with Git sync. Default if tokens leave Figma for real code.
4. UX Pilot ($14/mo)
The Figma plugin is why this AI wireframe tool sits inside designer workflows. Predictive heatmap layer is the closest thing to built-in design crit. Wireframe generator shortlist.
5. Untitled UI FREE v2 (free)
Not a plugin, a UI kit, but it teaches how a Figma library should be structured. Free UI kit shortlist.
The Tuesday morning shortlist
One editor pick, three tools to try, one to skip. Free. Sponsor-supported. One slot a week.
