AI plugins cluster into three jobs: design to code, something to design (a screenshot, a URL, a prompt), and file chores like renaming. Figma's native tools now cover renaming and a first pass at prompt-to-design, so the picks lean toward the first two.
The picks
- 1

Anima
by Anima
1.8M users17KFreeThe most-used AI plugin. Generates React, HTML, Vue and Tailwind from frames and shows code inside Dev Mode. Our pick for handing a developer a starting point they'll refactor.
- 2

Builder.io
by Steve Sewell
1.3M users23KFreeExports clean, responsive code and can turn a Figma screen into a working AI-built app or prototype. It goes further than Anima on layout, in exchange for a heavier setup.
- 309K users5.8KFree
Screenshot to editable Figma layers. The plugin we use to recover a legacy screen with no source file or to pull apart a reference. Output needs cleanup, but it beats redrawing.
- 4

Relume
by Relume
302K users6.2KFreeGenerates sitemaps and wireframes for marketing sites from a prompt, using Relume's component library. Good for the first hour of a website project; less useful for product UI.
- 5

Text to Design
by Ollie Martynov
136K users1.3KFree + paid featuresPrompt or image to a Figma design. Overlaps with Figma's native first draft, but it works on the Starter plan and doesn't spend your Figma AI credits. Free with in-app purchases.
- 6

HTML to Figma
by ReforeAI
109K users1.4KFreeImports any web page as editable layers, including AI-generated pages. A free alternative to html.to.design for occasional use; the paid tool handles complex pages better.
- 7

Figma Autoname
by Hugo DUPREZ
61K users1.9KFreeRenames every layer in a selection in one click. Figma's built-in Rename layers does this on paid plans; Autoname is our pick for Starter users, and the listing says it's free and open source.
- 148K users2.3KFree
Figma to full-stack web and mobile apps, from the same team as Codia AI Design. The most ambitious pick here, and the one we'd trial rather than adopt on day one.
Check the native feature first
- Rename layers is built in on paid plans and doesn't use AI credits.
- First Draft and the Figma agent generate editable designs from a prompt, and every seat gets monthly credits, including free seats.
- Dev Mode generates code snippets in CSS, SwiftUI, Compose and XML without any plugin, on a Dev or Full seat.
If you're on a paid plan, try the native feature before installing a plugin for the same job. Plugins still win when you're on Starter, when you need a specific framework, or when the job is importing something into Figma rather than generating it.
From the maker
We build an AI mock-data plugin ourselves. It's not ranked above; it's here as a disclosed extra for anyone filling layouts with realistic content.
