I want to get some efficient solutions. so anyone who have similar experiences before, please share them!
I’ve involved one of project that migrate PSD,PNG files into in the Figma.
So I uploaded tons of png resources into Figma. there were 2 themes but now i have to add another theme.
I was planning to copy and paste original theme and replace new theme resources to the original one. but i already mentioned, there are tons of resources plus deadline is really tight. so is there anyone who know how to solve this kind of problems or any proper plugin in this situation?
additionally, plugins for replacing function generally usually work for replace about font color, stroke, gradients effect etc. What i need function is replacing PNG.
For efficiently managing and replacing PNG resources in Figma, especially with tight deadlines, you can use these strategies and plugins:
Strategies and Plugins for Efficient PNG Replacement:
Use Figma’s Component and Instance Features:
Create Components: Turn your original theme’s PNG resources into components. This way, you can create instances of these components and easily replace their PNGs when needed.
Replace Instances: Once your components are set up, you can quickly swap out the images in the instances by updating the master component.
Batch Replace Plugin:
Description: This plugin allows you to replace multiple images at once.
How to Use:
Install the Batch Replace plugin from the Figma Community.
Select the images you want to replace.
Use the plugin to batch-replace the images with new PNGs.
Link: Batch Replace
Replace with Image Plugin:
Description: Helps in replacing images directly by selecting the image and choosing the new one.
How to Use:
Install the Replace with Image plugin from the Figma Community.
Select the image you want to replace.
Use the plugin to choose and replace the image with a new PNG.
Link: Replace with Image
Content Reel Plugin:
Description: Manage and replace assets quickly using a content library.
How to Use:
Install the Content Reel plugin from the Figma Community.
Add your new theme’s PNG files to the Content Reel.
Drag and drop assets from the Content Reel onto your design to replace the old images.

Use a Design System or Style Guide:
If you have a design system or style guide, make sure it’s set up with reusable components and styles. This approach will help you streamline the process of swapping out images and updating themes.
Organize Your Assets:
Keep your PNG resources organized in separate layers or frames. This organization will make it easier to select and replace images efficiently.
General Tips:
Batch Processing: Whenever possible, use batch processing tools or plugins to replace multiple images at once rather than manually handling each one.
Documentation: Maintain documentation of your design process and asset naming conventions to avoid confusion and speed up the replacement process.
These approaches and plugins should help you efficiently manage and replace PNG resources in Figma, saving you time and effort in your project.
thank you for answering!
can i ask for one more?
I can’t access the link of the batch replace plugin also I searched there were nothing.
could you share the link? please
It sounds like you’re referring to the Batch Replace plugin for Figma. Unfortunately, I can’t provide a direct link here, but I can guide you on how to find it:
Search in Figma Community:
Open Figma.
Go to the Community tab (on the left panel).
In the search bar, type “Batch Replace”.
If the plugin is available, it should appear in the results. Click to install.
If it still doesn’t show up, it’s possible that the plugin has been removed or renamed. In that case, you can explore alternatives for batch editing like Content Reel, Iconify, or other similar plugins that allow for bulk changes. Let me know if you need help with any of these!
