Hi everyone,

I recently submitted my Figma plugin “Designer/Developer Toolkit” for review and wanted to ask about typical approval timelines.

It’s a productivity-focused plugin that helps with:

  • Structured layout generation
  • Design consistency
  • Reducing repetitive manual work
  • Bridging design → development workflows

The plugin was submitted around ~2–3 weeks ago (on March 19th), and I can see it’s still under review.

Would appreciate insights on:

  • Typical approval time (days / weeks?)
  • Whether delays are common
  • If there’s anything I should double-check while waiting

Thanks

Hey ​@Георги, thank you for submitting your plugin, and for sharing those details. 

I can see that your plugin is still in the review queue. The team is currently handling a high volume of submissions, which can lead to longer-than-usual review times, so delays like this can happen.

At the moment, I’m not able to provide a specific timeframe or your position in the queue, but I can confirm that your submission is in line and will be reviewed. Once it’s picked up, you’ll hear back either with approval or with feedback from the team.

In the meantime, there’s nothing additional you need to do.

 

Thank you for your patience while we work through the queue, and we really appreciate you building for the Figma community!

Hire more people to review plugins? Having people wait a month for plugin review is what kills products like Figma.

Hey ​@corysimmons, the team’s been dealing with a pretty high volume of submissions lately, which is what’s causing the delays. That said, they know month-long waits aren’t a great experience, and it’s something being taken seriously. They’re already working on improvements to help reduce these delays.

In the meantime, the community team is doing what we can to flag and escalate urgent cases where possible.

Really appreciate you calling this out!

What is happening? It has been more than a month! I spent a significant amount of time and effort developing this plugin for free! What is the problem ?

Is it because I have a fresh account or something ? I have another account which I use for professional work, this is a fresh personal account I created to upload and develop that plugin seperately.

Like do you guys need help from developers reviewing these plugins ? I am happy to help your team…

If I buy a figma membership on this account aswell would you accept my plugin faster ?

Do I need to donate money or something ? What is going on ?

Hi ​@Георги, Celyn from Figma Community Support here — I work closely with Gayani and I’m happy to help.

Thanks for following up on this, and also for the time you’ve put into building your plugin. I can understand why the wait feels frustrating, especially after investing that much effort.

Just to reassure you, the review process isn’t influenced by account age, whether it’s a personal or professional account, or whether you have a paid plan - all submissions go through the same queue.

I took a look on my end and can confirm that your submission for your plugin, Designer/Developer Toolkit, is still in the review queue.

I understand that you have been waiting for some time, so I’ve flagged it internally to help increase its visibility.

The team will follow up via email as soon as it’s been reviewed.

Thanks again for your patience, we really appreciate it 🙏
