Most used renaming plugin
Rename It
by Rodrigo Soares
Rename It batch renames layers and frames and can be run straight from Figma's Actions menu, so it fits into a keyboard-driven workflow. It's free and aimed at keeping files organised. Figma's native batch rename now covers find and replace, numbering and regex, so check whether you need anything beyond that.197K 3.6KFree - #4
Best for selecting similar layers
Similayer
by Dave
Similayer builds on Figma's native select-similar commands and lets you select layers that match on a wider range of properties. It's the tool for 'select every 14px grey text layer on this page' jobs before a rename or restyle. It only selects, so pair it with a renaming or styling step.136K 3.1KFree - #5
Best one-click cleanup
Clean Document
by Yuan Qing Lim
Clean Document deletes hidden layers, ungroups single-layer groups and organises a file in one pass. It suits handoff prep and inherited files. It's free with paid features, and because it changes structure across a page, run it on a copy the first time.124K 3KFree + paid

Buying guide
What to look for
You can rename in bulk without a plugin. Select several layers and press Cmd/Ctrl + R to find and replace part of a name, add ascending or descending numbers, keep the current name with a prefix, or use regular expressions. On paid plans, Rename layers with AI names layers from their content, though it skips layers inside instances and plain vector shapes. Select matching layers and native text find and replace (Cmd/Ctrl + F) are built in too.
Plugins still help with rules Figma can't express: renaming by layer type across a whole page (Renamed), selecting layers that share a long list of properties (Similayer), deleting hidden layers and ungrouping single-layer groups (Clean Document), and sorting the layer panel by position (Sorter, Sort Layers).
- 01
Naming rules
Check for patterns you'll reuse: sequence numbers, the parent's name, the layer's text content, width and height, or case changes. Saved presets help if you rename every week.
- 02
Scope
Some tools rename only the selection; others the whole page or every layer of one type. Whole-page tools are faster and easier to get wrong.
- 03
Instances
Layers inside instances inherit names from the main component. Rename at the component level, and check how the plugin handles instances before running it on a library consumer file.
- 04
Selection power
Good cleanup starts with a good selection. Plugins that select by type, name, style or similarity turn a 20-minute chore into a few clicks.
- 05
Undo-safe cleanup
Deleting hidden layers or flattening groups can remove things you still need. Run cleanup plugins on a duplicate page first.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I rename multiple layers at once in Figma?
Select the layers and press Cmd + R on Mac or Ctrl + R on Windows. You can replace part of each name, add numbering, keep the current name with a prefix, or use regular expressions.
Can Figma rename layers automatically with AI?
Yes, on paid plans. Right-click a selection and choose Rename layers, or run it from the Actions menu. It doesn't rename layers nested in instances or plain vector shapes. On the free plan, Figma Autoname is a free AI alternative.
How do I select all similar layers in Figma?
Select a layer and use Select matching layers (Cmd + Option + A on Mac), or Edit > Select all with the same fill, stroke, font or effect. For more properties, use Similayer or Select Layers.
How do I delete all hidden layers in Figma?
There's no native command for it. Clean Document and Delete Hidden Layers remove hidden layers from a selection or page; review what they'll delete first, since hidden variants and states can be intentional.
How do I sort layers in Figma?
Sorter and Sort Layers reorder the layer panel by name or canvas position, which keeps exported frame order predictable. More workflow tools are on our most useful Figma plugins list.
