Multi-select text formatter

About this plugin

Multi-Select Text Formatter lets you search for words or phrases and apply text or colour formatting across selected frames or entire pages in one action. Designed for speed and safety, it preserves existing text styles while helping teams apply consistent formatting without repetitive manual edits.

The problem it solves

Figma does not support selecting and formatting the same word across multiple text layers at once. Designers are forced to manually select each instance, which is slow, error-prone, and frustrating in large files or shared design systems.

Multi-Select Text Formatter solves this by allowing you to search for text, detect all occurrences instantly, and apply formatting in bulk without breaking existing text or colour styles.

What you can do with this plugin

1. Search for words or phrases within selected frames or across the entire page.
2. Instantly see the number of text occurrences found.
3. Apply existing text styles used in the file to maintain design-system consistency.
4. Apply existing colour styles or custom colours without overriding unrelated styles.
5. Apply simple formatting such as bold, italic, or underline when styles are not required.
6. Preserve existing text and colour styles so only the intended formatting is changed.
7. Works with nested frames, grouped text layers, and complex layouts.
