Building your own Figma plugin is a super power. One moment you have a problem/idea and the other moment you have a custom plugin to solve that exact problem.

Full honesty, I actually did web development for 2 years, so I’m not unfamiliar with some clean Javascript, but coding a Figma plugin would mean re-learning a lot and spending hours coding and fixing bugs.

Here are 2 methods I used to build the plugin without writing a single line of code; Use whichever seems more useful/convenient to you.

Artifig AI β€” The Beginner Approach

  • Describe the plugin you want to build with details such as functionality, UI and visuals that you want in the plugin.
  • You can even upload an image of how the UI of the plugin should look like and even edit with/without code.
