Update: I added Live Preview to the Figma warp/perspective plugin I built

A little while ago I shared Free Transform, my plugin that brings Photoshop's Ctrl+T into Figma (warp, perspective, distort). The response here honestly blew me away — thank you to everyone who tried it, broke it, and told me what they wanted. It's since grown to 3,300+ users, which still feels a bit unreal.

The most requested thing? A way to see what you're doing before committing. So here it is:

Live Preview — you now see the transform right on the canvas as you drag, instead of applying and undoing over and over until it looks right. Plus sharper export quality while I was at it. 

Give it a try 👉: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1648207154922389186/free-transform

And I'll ask the same thing that gave me my whole roadmap last time: what do you still open Photoshop or Illustrator for? The gaps that annoy you are usually my next plugin. 🙌

I got tired of jumping back to Photoshop just to warp text — so I built Free Transform for Figma

I do a lot of graphic work in Figma — banners, posters, social stuff. And for years there was one thing that kept dragging me back to Photoshop: I just wanted to grab a layer and bend it. Warp some text. Add a bit of perspective. That's it.

Figma doesn't really do that, so I finally sat down and built it.

Free Transform does the Ctrl+T thing right inside Figma:

  • Scale, rotate, skew, distort — drag any handle, no constraint fighting
  • Perspective, in any direction
  • Photoshop-style warps: Arc, Arch, Fish, Wave, Rise, Twist
  • Export as raster or editable vector
  • No mesh seams, even on shadows and semi-transparent layers

All of that is free. No trial timer, no locked buttons — I just wanted the tool to exist.

It's a solo project so it's definitely not bulletproof yet. If you try it, I'd really love to know: what's the one transform thing you still leave Figma for? That's basically my roadmap at this point.

Happy to answer anything in the comments 🙌
