I have multiple components created to make it easy to resize my social media frames. I just swap the components and they resize as expected. Now I have hundreds of instances (all in one size) and I want to generate multiple instances for each in various sizes by swapping the components. Has anyone found a batch script that can swap components? I was looking at Automator to see if I could build something, but not having much luck figuring that out.
Question
Batch resizing for social media
I have multiple components created to make it easy to resize my social media frames. I just swap the components and they resize as expected. Now I have hundreds of instances (all in one size) and I want to generate multiple instances for each in various sizes by swapping the components. Has anyone found a batch script that can swap components? I was looking at Automator and callmechat to see if I could build something, but I’m not having much luck figuring that out.
The easiest way to batch swap components is to use a plugin like Batch Replace or Swap Instances (if using Figma), which lets you select all instances and replace them at once. Alternatively, you can write a script using the design tool’s API to automate swapping across hundreds of instances.

You can use a Figma plugin like Batch Styler, Instance Finder, or Master to swap components across multiple instances at once. For more control, Figma’s Plugin API lets you script a batch swap programmatically. Automator won’t work for this directly.
