Autoname for Web

Quick summary

Autoname is a free, open-source Figma plugin that automatically renames design layers with one action. It speeds up repetitive layer naming, skips components and instance layers to avoid breaking reusable elements, and has been praised by designers for cutting down manual work. The plugin is built with Svelte and is available on the Figma Community; Hugging Face sponsors the project.

Main benefits

• Open-source and free for anyone to use
• Preserves components and instances by not renaming them
• Reduces the time spent on manual layer renaming
• Implemented using the Svelte framework
• Positive feedback from professionals who use it regularly
• Actively supported by a contributor-friendly community

Known limitations

• Only works inside Figma — no cross-app support
• Offers minimal customization for naming rules or patterns
• Feature set is focused narrowly on layer naming rather than broader design management

How it behaves

When you run the plugin, it scans visible layers and applies consistent, automatic names while intentionally skipping components and instance layers to keep crucial structure intact. The goal is to be a quick, no-friction tool rather than a fully configurable renaming utility.

Where to get it

Find and install the plugin through the Figma Community listings. The project is community-driven, so contributors can propose enhancements and fixes via the repository.
