Video Tutorial: How to install (and remove) Figma plugins

This video tutorial is a complete step-by-step guide showing you the new process of how to install (and remove) Figma plugins after the mid-2024 "UI3" update to the Figma app

Installing the Convertify Figma Plugin ​

  1. Open any Figma file.
  2. Click on the Actions icon in the bottom Figma toolbar.
  3. Click the Plugins & Widgets tab to filter results to Figma plugins.
  4. Search for Convertify in the search bar.
  5. Click on the Convertify search result.
  6. Click the Save button to install the Convertify plugin.

Figma users in a Figma Organization may only be able to install approved plugins. Please contact your Figma Org admin at your company to approve the Convertify plugin if you're unable to install certain Figma plugins.

Running the Convertify Figma Plugin ​

Once you've installed the Convertify Figma plugin, to run the plugin in your Figma file:

  1. Right-click anywhere on your Figma file's page canvas
  2. Hover your mouse over the Plugins ▶ menu item
  3. Hover your mouse over the Saved plugins ▶ menu item
  4. Click on the Convertify plugin menu item

After you've run the Convertify plugin once in a Figma file, you'll be able to quickly re-launch it by clicking the Convertify icon in the right-hand side Figma column (under the Plugin subheading).

Only Figma users with Edit access to a Figma file can run a Figma plugin in that Figma file; if you only have View permissions, you won't be able to run any Figma plugins in that file.

Uninstalling the Convertify Figma plugin ​

import UnInstallSnippet from "/snippets/uninstalling-figma-plugins.mdx";

  1. Open any Figma file.
  2. Click on the Actions icon in the bottom Figma toolbar.
  3. Click the Plugins & Widgets tab to filter results to Figma plugins.
  4. Search for Convertify in the search bar.
  5. Click on the Convertify search result.
  6. Click the Remove button to uninstall the Convertify plugin.

This will remove the plugin from your Saved Plugins list, however, the Figma plugin may still show up under your Recents list (if it has been recently run), as Figma saves this list of recent plugins in your browser's/app's local storage. The plugin will vanish from the Recents menu after other plugins are run to take its place.
