Automate production of page and component design specifications (“specs”) of selected components, instances and frames.
SPECS CLASSIC IS DEPRECATED. USE SPECS 2.
This Specs Classic plugin (published 2023) is now deprecated and no longer enables new subscriptions to premium features. Instead, use Specs 2.
Subscriptions to Specs Classic are not transferrable to Specs 2 since the two generations are on distinct payment platforms. Specs Classic subscribers will retain access to premium feature as long as their subscriptions remain active, even after Specs 2 is fully launched.
For billing support, contact Figma at support@figma.com. Since plugin upgrade is supported by the Figma Payment platform, the plugin author cannot help with billing inquiries and team and organization licensing is not available.
