Variable patch

Extract and apply variable bindings across Figma files using #prefixed frames

Plugin Preview

Variable Patch lets you transfer variable bindings between Figma

files.

How it works:

1. Extract — Scans frames prefixed with # and exports all variable

bindings (including colors, effects, text, and component properties)

as a JSON file.

2. Apply — Upload the JSON to another file, and the plugin matches

frames by name and applies the bindings automatically.

Features:

- Supports all binding types: scalar, paint (fills/strokes), effects,

text content, component properties

- Preserves explicit variable modes (e.g., language modes)

- Auto-creates missing variables and collections from snapshot data

- Optional overwrite of existing variable values

- Works with both local and library variables
