Organizer

About this plugin

Organizer is a powerful utility plugin that automatically arranges and organizes elements within Figma sections. Whether you're working with sections containing multiple frames, components, or component instances, this plugin helps you maintain clean, consistent layouts with customizable spacing and padding.

Smart Section Organization

1. Automatically organizes children elements (frames, sections, components, and instances) within a selected section
2. Intelligently groups elements by X-coordinate to maintain column structure
3. Elements with similar X-coordinates are stacked vertically, while different columns are arranged horizontally
4. Preserves empty spaces in your layout—no unwanted element shifting

Flexible Element Arrangement

1. Select multiple elements to arrange them horizontally on the same Y-coordinate
2. Perfect for quickly aligning groups of elements without manual positioning
3. Works with frames, sections, components, and component instances

Customizable Spacing

1. Set your preferred gap value (horizontal spacing between elements)
2. Configure padding (distance from section edges and starting position)
3. Gap and padding values persist across your Figma session
4. Gap-based tolerance ensures consistent grouping regardless of spacing size

Automatic Section Resizing

1. Automatically resizes sections to fit organized content with proper padding
2. Ensures all elements maintain consistent spacing from section edges
3. No manual resizing needed—the plugin handles it for you

Streamlined Workflow

1. Two simple commands: "Organize" and "Set gap…"
2. Organize command runs silently without UI for quick organization
3. Set gap dialog automatically organizes if a section or multiple elements are selected
4. Modern, clean UI with helpful descriptions for each setting

How to Use

Organize a Section:

1. Select a section containing frames, components, or instances
2. Run the "Organize" command from the plugin menu
3. Elements are automatically arranged based on their X-coordinate grouping

Organize Multiple Elements:

1. Select multiple elements (frames, sections, components, or instances)
2. Run the "Organize" command
3. Elements are arranged horizontally on the same Y-coordinate with your set gap spacing

Configure Settings:

1. Run "Set gap, padding…" to open the settings dialog
2. Adjust gap (horizontal spacing between elements)
3. Adjust padding (distance from edges and starting position)
4. Click "Save and organize" if a section/elements are selected, or "Save" to just update settings

Use Cases

1. Organizing design system components within sections
2. Arranging UI elements in consistent grid-like layouts
3. Maintaining column-based layouts with proper spacing
4. Quickly aligning multiple selected elements
5. Creating structured, professional layouts with minimal effort

Section Organizer saves you time by automating the tedious task of manually positioning and aligning elements, letting you focus on what matters most—your design.
