The Pexels plugin for Figma is an easy way to search for and insert beautiful free photos directly into your designs. There's no attribution required and you can edit the photos as you like.
I'm a product designer, an amateur photographer (and Pexels contributor), and I like to tinker with code on the side.
All these worlds collided when I wanted to find some photos to use in a design and discovered that there wasn't a Pexels plugin for the design tool I use; Figma.
After previously cobbling together a couple of basic Figma plugins, I wondered how much of a stretch it would be to build a Pexels one myself.
I chronicled my journey in a series of Tweets that, maybe unsurprisingly since I @ mentioned them, Pexels saw and subsequently reached out about.
After reading about my creative journey, here we are. An OFFICIAL Pexels plugin for Figma, made by yours truly.
Please be kind if you look at the code 😬.
