Week 81 - Animated icons, canvas anchor and instant usability tests
This week's five new Figma plugins.
As design projects become increasingly complex, the right plugins can make all the difference. This week’s selection focuses on tools that help you navigate complexity, add polish, and validate ideas faster.
From bookmarking your exact place in sprawling files to expanding your icon toolkit, and running instant usability tests with AI, these plugins are built to save you a lot of time. Let’s jump into what’s new!
1. Anchor
Save your exact spot in huge design files.
Working in massive design files? Anchor helps you never lose your place again. With a single click, you can bookmark your exact viewport location and instantly jump back whenever you need. Perfect for navigating sprawling design systems, prototypes, or multi-artboard layouts, Anchor keeps your workflow smooth and frustration-free.
Anchors are saved persistently (even after closing Figma), and the plugin gives you clear visual cues when you’re back at your bookmarked spot. Whether you’re reviewing specific areas with teammates or jumping between component sets, Anchor ensures you can explore freely without losing your bearings.

It even supports both story and quiz layouts with consistent frame sizes for easy exports.
This plugin is great for visual storytelling, educational content, or just spicing up presentations. With smart text fitting, character variants, and local caching for your speaker mappings, it takes the tedious setup out of comic creation and lets you focus on the story.
