Figma is our digital design tool of choice. With its open platform for developers and its community, Figma continues to go from strength to strength. As Figma evolves, we will share more of our favourite plugins.

Figma is free to start with and you can create an account here.

Easing Gradients

Try it for yourself

You always want your designs to look as good as they can. The default gradient tool is not the best. This widget fixes that. Easing Gradients allows smooth gradient fills in Figma using custom cubic-bézier or step easing functions. Especially useful when dealing with transparent gradients but also allows for creative exploration.

Content Reel

Try it for yourself

Created by the Microsoft Design team, the Content Reel plugin allows you to design layouts more efficiently by pulling text strings, images, and icons from one palette. Content Reel lets you create custom content and share it with other Figma users. Collaboration has never been easier!

Sparkliner

Try it for yourself

It can be an arduous task to draw graphs based on a data set supplied by a client. With Sparkliner, you create beautiful charts with a couple of clicks. You can paste your data from Excel, CSV, JSON, or type it in.

Unsplash

Try it for yourself

‍Insert beautiful images from Unsplash straight into your designs. The Unsplash License allows images to be used freely for commercial and personal projects.

Feather Icons

Try it for yourself

Quick access to the Open Sourced Feather icons set. Great for use and placeholders as you wireframe and ideate.
