The integration of Artificial Intelligence is the biggest efficiency leap in the design world since Auto Layout. If you use Figma, adopting AI plugins is no longer a luxury—it's a requirement for keeping pace and maximizing your creative energy.
These five AI-powered Figma plugins streamline repetitive tasks, generate content, and accelerate your entire design process, allowing you to focus on high-level strategy and user empathy.
1. Ando - Your AI Design Co-pilot
Ando is your generative AI partner right inside Figma. It generates design ideas from text prompts, shapes, and even existing images. Instead of starting from a blank canvas, you can instantly turn a simple idea—like "futuristic sneaker designed by Zaha Hadid"—into visual concepts, saving hours in the ideation and moodboarding phases.
2. Figma Autoname - The Renaming Savior
For designers who struggle with the endless task of renaming layers like "Frame 563," Autoname is the solution. This free, open-source, AI-powered plugin renames all your layers in a single click. It solves the pain of manually correcting hundreds of layer names, making your files cleaner and design handoff smoother.
3. Avatars Generator - Instant User Personas
Stop relying on generic or copyrighted stock photos for user profiles. The Avatars Generator plugin creates photos of fictional persons (infants, children, youth, adults) that can be used as profile pictures or avatars. Critically, these AI-generated portraits are commercial-free, meaning you don't have to worry about copyrights or distribution rights for your mockups and prototypes.
4. Magestic - AI Icons, Graphics, and Images
Need a custom icon set or a unique graphic to illustrate a feature? Magestic uses AI to generate icons, graphics, and images directly in your Figma file. This speeds up the process of sourcing or creating visual assets, ensuring your design system is unique and consistent.
5. Magicopy - The Copywriter in Your Toolbar
Good design requires great copy. Magicopy is a text generator that can generate high-quality marketing copy in 14 different languages. You can specify the industry, copy type (Headline, Subtitle, Feature), and even the tone of voice (Serious, Natural, Catchy) to instantly fill your landing pages and components with amazing content.
By adding these tools to your workflow, you’re not just saving time—you're building better products faster.
