Figma Autoname is a plugin, built by Hugo Duprez, that looks at the content of Figma layers and renames them automatically instead of leaving a file full of default names such as Frame 1 or Rectangle 12. It detects component and instance layers and avoids renaming those, so a team’s naming conventions for reusable components stay intact, and a newer feature lets a designer import their own Teachable Machine model to customise how naming decisions are made. The site credits Hugging Face as a partner and states the plugin is used by 60k+ designers, with KPMG and Smashing Magazine named as users.
The plugin’s code is released under the MIT licence and the plugin itself is free, so a team that wants to check exactly how layer names are generated, or self-host the logic, can read the source rather than trust a black box. The pages reviewed do not state whether layer content or names are sent to an external server for processing or kept local to Figma, so a team working with confidential or unreleased designs may want to check that before turning it on for a sensitive file.
The plugin is free to use, with no paid tier found on the pages reviewed.
