Relume is the most-installed wireframe plugin for Figma, with 302K users, because it takes a whole website from sitemap to wireframe with AI and hands it to you as editable Figma layers. For app screens, or for turning finished designs back into wireframes, Ghost and Higherframer are the next most used.

Buying guide
You don't need a plugin to wireframe in Figma. Grey rectangles, auto layout and a small component kit go a long way, and Figma AI on paid plans can draft a first layout from a prompt. Plugins help in three situations: planning a multi-page site quickly (Relume, Octopus.do), converting polished screens into lo-fi versions for case studies or stakeholder reviews (Higherframer, Lo-Fier), and generating loading skeletons (Ghost, Skeleton loader).
Skeleton screens overlap with wireframing because both strip a design down to boxes. Our skeleton loader guide covers that job in detail, and mock data plugins help once your wireframes need realistic content.
Some plugins generate wireframes from nothing (Relume, Wireframe Generator, AI Design Copilot); others convert existing designs (Higherframer, Lo-Fier, Design to Wireframe Converter). Pick based on where your project is.
Wireframes should be easy to rearrange. Check whether generated layouts use auto layout and components or arrive as loose shapes you'll rebuild.
Grey boxes read as structure; hand-drawn styles like Sketch Pencil signal "this isn't final" to stakeholders. Choose the look that gets the feedback you want.
Some AI wireframe tools ask for your own API key, like Gemini AI Wireframe Creator. Others need an account in an external app. Check before you install for a team.
FAQ
Yes. Rectangles, text, auto layout and a simple component kit are enough for most wireframes, and paid plans include Figma AI tools that can draft a first layout. Plugins mainly save time on site planning, conversion and skeleton screens.
Select the screen and run Higherframer or Lo-Fier, which strip colour and detail into a lo-fi version. Keep the original frame and convert a duplicate.
Run Ghost on a finished screen to replace its layers with placeholder shapes, then add a shimmer with Smart Animate. The skeleton loader guide has the full steps.
The Relume plugin is free to install and listed as free on Figma Community. The wireframes are made in Relume's Site Builder, which is a separate product with its own account.
