It’s time to give some love to our copywriters and UX writers. Unfortunately, they’re often left out of the design process, and are expected to magically replace all the ‘Lorem Ipsum’ with real content approximately 4 minutes before the project deadline.
While Figma is an amazing collaboration design tool on its own, copywriters or and UX writers using Figma can benefit from using plugins to help with the copywriting process during the design process, and export their work to other formats.
CopyDoc for Figma
Update Figma text via CSV/JSON, download Figma comments, and export Microsoft Word docs.
The CopyDoc Figma plugin allows you to import and export text content from your Figma designs. If you’re a copywriter or UX writer who needs to manage text via CSV/JSON, download comments, spell check your text layers or export Microsoft Word (.docx) documents; this Figma plugin is for you.
Spell check your text layers
Without a native spell check feature, it can be difficult to keep track of hundreds (or thousands) of text layers.
CopyDoc contains a spell check feature that checks every text layers in your page for spelling mistakes in dozens of languages. It provides multiple suggestions for each word, with single click corrections, and an “undo” feature in case you made a mistake and need to revert the spelling again.
Export your Figma frames to Microsoft Word (.docx) documents
If you’re designing and doing copywriting for any kind of documents in Figma, sometimes exporting to a static JPG, PNG or PDF file isn’t going to be the right solution for the deliverable.
CopyDoc contains a feature that allows you to export your Figma frames to a Microsoft Word (.docx) document. This allows anyone without a Figma account to open the document in Microsoft Word, with all of the text remaining selectable and editable.
Export your Figma text layers to CSV
As a copywriter or UX writer, it can be difficult to edit copy in Figma by manually scanning dozens of frames for text content and individually editing each one in isolation from the rest of the content available at a glance.
CopyDoc allows you to export every text layer in your frames to a CSV file, which gives you a complete overview of your content, and allows you to make updates to each layer by editing the CSV in one place using your spreadsheet app of choice (eg. Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets or Apple Numbers).
This also opens the door to using tools like “find and replace” to easily roll out text updates across your entire design in the CSV file.
Re-import Figma text updates from CSV
After you’ve edited the exported CSV file from Figma, you can re-import and update those text layers back into your Figma design using the CopyDoc plugin.
CopyDoc will find any text updates by comparing your CSV file and the text layers in the Figma design, then show you all of the differences for review and approval before any text updates are made. Once you’ve selected the updates you want to import, you can update the selected text layers in Figma with a single click.
Export Figma comments to CSV
If you’re collaborating with a design team, and comments are being left inside the Figma file, sometimes it can be difficult to keep track of all the feedback being left on each frame.
CopyDoc has a feature that lets you to quickly export every comment from your Figma file into a CSV with one click; this allows you to easily review every frame and comment thread in one place, and mark off any rows in your spreadsheet app of choice (eg. Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets or Apple Numbers).
Pitchdeck for Figma
Magically turn your Figma designs into animated presentable slide decks, or export them to PowerPoint.
The Pitchdeck Figma plugin allows you to magically create and present stunning slide decks from your Figma designs. If you’re a copywriter or UX writer, and you want to turn your designs into a presentable slide deck, or export them to PowerPoint; this Figma plugin is for you.
Export your speaker notes from Figma to text (.txt)
While the visible content in a presentation is very important, the invisible content (the presenter’s speaker notes) are equally vital to get right.
Pitchdeck allows you to include speaker notes for every slide by using the Figma plugin, and also includes an “export speaker notes” feature that will instantly export all of your speaker notes to a plain text (.txt) file that you can review and edit outside of Figma. This can be handy for writing speaker notes for each slide in one place, then copy/pasting the speaker note updates back into the Figma plugin when they’re ready.
Export your slides from Figma to PDF
If you need to quickly send a presentation deck around for internal review, or to someone who doesn’t have access to Figma, Pitchdeck lets you easily export your presentation to a PDF file; perfect for sending via email or Slack.
Export your slides from Figma to PowerPoint
While it’s not everyone’s favourite app, Microsoft PowerPoint is likely here to stay for a while longer. Thankfully, Pitchdeck gives you the option to export your Figma design to a .pptx file that can be opened with the Microsoft PowerPoint desktop app, complete with editable text and image layers that can be moved around if needed.
Export your slides from Figma to Google Slides
While it’s awesome to collaborate on slides in Figma, sometimes other people on your team aren’t Figma users, but prefer to work collaboratively in Google Slides together. If your presentation needs to be done in Google Slides, Pitchdeck gives you the option to export your Figma design to a .pptx file that can be opened and edited with Google Slides, allowing your team to collaboratively edit text and move images around.
Export your slides from Figma to Keynote
The go-to presentation app for Mac users is the preferred PowerPoint alternative in many digital agencies and design shops. If your presentation needs to be done in Apple Keynote, Pitchdeck gives you the option to export your Figma design to a .pptx file that can be opened and edited with the Keynote desktop app.
