Autoname

Autoname is a Figma plugin built to take the tedium out of layer naming. designers often end up with files full of generic names such as Frame 12, Rectangle 47, or Group 3, especially after importing assets or copying components. Autoname addresses this cleanup problem by automatically assigning meaningful names to many layers at once, helping keep design files organized and eASIer for teammates to navigate.

What it does

Rather than renaming layers one by one, Autoname analyzes the selected layers and generates descriptive names for them in a single ACTion. Because it works insIDE Figma, the plugin fits directly into an existing design workflow without requiring exports or external tools. The exact naming logic and accuracy may vary depending on the layers and content involved, so results are best reviewed before committing changes across a large file.

Key capabilities

• batch renaming of multiple Figma layers at once
• one-click Operation that reduces repetitive manual work
• Automatic generation of descriptive layer names
• Runs within Figma as a plugin, so files stay in place
• Useful for tidying imported or copied assets that ARRive with default names

Who it is for

• UI and product designers who mAIntain large Figma files
• Design teams that rely on consistent layer naming conventions
• Designers handing off files to developers or other collaborators
• Anyone Cleaning up imported mockups, icon sets, or component libraries

Teams that work across shared libraries often benefit most, since clear layer names make handoff, review, and future edits faster. Solo designers working on short-lived files may find the benefit smaller, but it can still save time on larger projects.

How to get started

1. Open Figma and locate the Autoname plugin through the plugin directory or the official site.
2. Select the layers, frames, or groups you want to rename.
3. Run the plugin and let it generate names for the selection.
4. Review the proposed names and adjust or undo any that do not fit your conventions.

It is wise to try the plugin on a duplicated file or a small selection first, so you can confirm that the generated names match your team's naming Standards before APPlying them widely.

Pricing and access caveat

Autoname is described as a free tool, but pricing, feature limits, and availability can change and may vary by region or Figma plan. Users should confirm current terms on the official site before depending on it for production Workflows, and should keep backups of important files.
