Genie
Create dynamic designs with shapes, colors, fonts, customize with text, images, logos, and assemble designs with drag-and-drop.
What is Genie?
Genie is a Figma plugin that helps you build designs quickly using a visual, drag-and-drop interface. You can work with shapes, colours, fonts, text, images, and logos without leaving Figma. The plugin is useful if you want to speed up repetitive design work or need a simpler way to assemble design elements. It sits within Figma itself, so it works alongside your existing design files and workflows. The freemium model means you can try basic features at no cost.
