Dear Figma Team,

I am a designer who regularly works with 750px-based design files (a common standard in mobile design, especially for iOS @2x/@3x export workflows).

Currently, when I need to export assets at different scales, I have to manually add export settings in the Export panel each time. This is time-consuming and error-prone, especially when working with many assets.

Feature Request:
I would like to suggest adding Plugin API support that allows plugins to:

  1. Programmatically add export settings to a selected node's Export panel

  2. Set custom suffixes (like @2x, @3x) for each export configuration

  3. Configure export scales and formats through the API

Use Case:
When working with 750px design files, I need to export:

  • 0.5x scale (375px) with @2x suffix

  • 0.75x scale (562.5px) with @3x suffix

If plugins could modify the Export panel, designers could create custom plugins to automatically set up export configurations based on their design file dimensions, significantly improving workflow efficiency.

Benefits:

  • Streamlines the export workflow for mobile app design

  • Reduces manual errors in export settings

  • Enables custom automation for different design standards

  • Saves time when working with large design systems

I believe this feature would be highly valuable for the design community, especially those working on mobile applications with various screen densities.

Thank you for considering this suggestion. I look forward to seeing Figma continue to improve its already excellent plugin ecosystem.
