We use Figma daily in the design process of building beautiful sales funnels, landing pages, websites and courses for clients. Having built 500+ funnels for big brands like Clickfunnels, Russell Brunson, Tony Robbins and Dean Graziosi, we know what works and what it takes to build high-converting funnels.
5 Best Figma Plugins for Beginners to get Started
Basically every graphic, image, illustration or background used in our funnel agency is made using at least one of these 5 Figma design tools. Right click on the background inside the Figma design editor and add plugins to get started.
Check out our video below, where we explain how we use the 5 Best Figma Plugins!
1. Pexels
Pexels offers a ton of images that you can use for free. Simply search by using your keyword or niche and you'll a lot of high quality images to choose from. This is one of the most frequently used plugins inside Figma.
In this example we put an image of a city as the background and adjusted the fill-rate to 10 % to make it faded and then add a black background behind the image which gives you a
cool and quick design.
2. ICONIFY
Iconfiy is a helpful tool that allows you to add icons easily and quickly to your design. You can search for icons using keywords and once the icons are imported, you can edit the icons' color, background and size. You can even put the icons lines to be gradient.
Again, a simple design trick that will make your website or funnel look clean and professional.
3. NOISE
Noise allows you to add extra blur and effects to your background. You can easily edit how visible it should be and what surface you'd like to use. Make sure you put it behind all the other elements but in front of the background to keep the message and design clear - this is only to add something extra to your design.
4. REMOVE BG
Your images is what makes the site personal and it's also the first thing the visitors sees when visiting your website or funnel. Remove BG (background) is a design tool for removing the background and instead lift the focus on the person in the image. Simply mark the image and choose the Remove BG-plugin and it'll automatically remove your background of the chosen image in a few seconds.
You can keep your image without a background or add a color instead which we did in the example below.
5. MESH GRADIENT
Mesh Gradient is a quick way to add gradient backgrounds or images to your design. Just choose 2 - 4 colors you want to include and then select Randomize a few times until you find a good mesh gradient you like. Insert image and crop and edit to make it fit!
Hopefully these 5 plugins are helpful for you! Make sure to try them out and save them in your plugin-collection to make them easy accessible later. Plugins are a great way to reduce the time spent designing and will you an extra level on your designs.
