Question

Copy and reuse image adjustment settings across multiple image layers


Hicy

Hi Figma Team,

 

As a plugin developer and daily Figma user, I’d like to request an enhancement to the Plugin API.

 

Currently, image adjustment settings such as exposure, contrast, saturation, temperature, tint, highlights, and shadows—which are adjustable via sliders in the native Figma UI—are not accessible via the Plugin API. The imageFilters property on nodes like RECTANGLE always returns default values, even when those image adjustments have clearly been applied through the UI.

 

This limitation makes it impossible to build plugins that copy and reuse image adjustment settings across multiple image layers, which would significantly improve efficiency in projects that require consistent visual styles across many assets.

 

Request:

Please consider exposing the actual values of image adjustment parameters (filters) via the Plugin API—either through node.imageFilters or a new method—so plugins can read and apply those settings programmatically.

 

This would enable:

 

  • Copy/paste image filter settings across nodes

  • Saving and reapplying filter presets

  • Building plugins for batch image styling workflows

 

Thank you for your continued support of the Figma plugin developer community!

 

Best regards
