At Perpetual, our designers work with businesses to help design and build great digital experiences. Design can be a lot of work, and we want to help the design community with our knowledge and share some great resources. Our team has created a list of our favorite Figma plugins that can help you with your design journey.

Find and Replace Figma Plugin

Find and Replace is a simple yet mighty Figma plugin. With this plugin, you can search for texts on all your designs and replace them with a different text using a text editor interface.

Contrast Figma Plugin

We are big advocates of making design accessible for all. The contrast between the text and its background affects people’s ability to perceive information. The Contrast plugin helps in checking the contrast ratios of colors on selected layers. It also provides passing and failing levels based on the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) to help you generate any text-based contrast issues and fix them. You can easily run a scan and find any text layers which might fail accessibility guidelines.

Writer Figma Plugin

As designers, while focusing on making pixel-perfect digital designs, it is easy to miss typos in the mockups. This plugin tries to solve precisely that problem. With the Write for Figma plugin, you can check your designs for errors and make sure that the content is grammatically clear and free of typos.

A Writer subscription is required to sign into the plugin. Its free plan gives basic spelling and grammar suggestions. Check out its Pro plan if you want advanced writing suggestions and writing style customization.

Mockup Figma Plugin

Why have a different tool for your designs and a different one to generate visual mockups? The Mockup plugin is the easiest and most convenient way to get mockups for your designs presented on multiple devices. Mockup lets you choose a frame and add it to a device of your choice. This plugin has two functions:

  • Mockup Library: Collection of both paid and free high-quality mockups
  • Distort: This helps in using a mockup you already have and adding designs into it

Faker Figma Plugin

Lorem Ipsum has become the go-to text for placeholder text by designers. But it might not be ideal while showcasing your designs. The Faker plugin generates realistic placeholder texts like names, emails, URLs, headlines, and many more types of placeholder texts. All you need to do is select one or more objects and click on the placeholder text type.
