The new @Figma Chrome

The new @Figma Chrome Extension is insanely good for static websites.

Landing pages, blogs, marketing sites, documentation pages? Almost magical. It can pull layouts surprisingly well and save hours of manual recreation.

Where it still struggles is modern web apps. Complex React interfaces, dashboards, dynamic states, overlays, and highly interactive experiences can be hit-or-miss because there's much more happening beneath the surface than what appears on screen.

That said, I think some people are missing the point.

The value isn't copying pixels. It's starting from reality.

As designers, we're constantly working on products that already exist. A developer ships a feature, a competitor launches a flow, or a client wants to iterate on a live experience. Being able to bring that into Figma in seconds instead of rebuilding it from scratch is a huge productivity boost.

Even with its limitations, it's one of the biggest workflow improvements I've seen for designers this year.

I've shipped a few tools for designers and developers myself. If you're interested, feel free to check them out:
