At a glance

Where Twinfig and Figma’s extension overlap, and where they don’t.

The short answer

Figma’s extension and Twinfig can both capture in your own browser session and pick a single element. Twinfig additionally imports public URLs and whole sites from inside Figma, turns repeated UI into components, creates variables and text styles, links pages as a prototype, builds Storybook component sets and replaces customer data with mock data before the copy.

Both do

  • Import a live URL
  • Pages behind a login, localhostFigma’s extension: your own browser session
  • Pick a single element

Twinfig adds

  • Many viewports × light and dark in one run
  • Repeated UI becomes componentsAcross every page
  • Colors and type as variables and text styles
  • Links become prototype connections
  • Storybook stories to component sets
  • Mock data for customer informationBefore it leaves the page
  • Recapture a frame in place

Every viewport and theme in one capture

Pick widths and themes in the popup and one capture produces every frame, with light and dark as variable modes.

In a logged-in dashboard the Twinfig popup opens, Data is switched to Mock, and the element picker moves from a name to a row to the whole customers table. The captured table arrives in Figma with names, emails, phones and avatars replaced.

In depth

The differences that matter day to day.

More than one frame per capture

Twinfig’s popup captures the full page, the visible area, one element, several pages of a site or a Storybook, at any mix of 1440, 1024, 768 and 390 and in Light, Dark or both.

The Twinfig Chrome extension popup. Capture modes Full page, Visible area, Element and Pages; viewports As is, 1440, 1024, 768 and 390; theme As is, Light, Dark or Both; data Real or Mock; states Default or All. Beside it, a Pages picker listing 30 pages found from links and the sitemap, with a /blog/ template collapsed to 2 of 24 pages and a Capture button.
Chrome extension: capture modesFull page, visible area, one element or several pages, at the viewports, themes and states you choose.

Interactive states as variants

With States set to All, Twinfig tries Hover, Focus, Active, Open, Disabled, Checked and Selected where they apply and adds each distinct one as a State= variant of one component set.

Mock data before the clipboard

With Data set to Mock, personal details are replaced inside your browser before the capture is bundled, so the clipboard, the capture history and .twinfig files never hold the real data.

The Chrome extension with Data set to Mock and the Notionists avatar style, noting that names, emails, phones, addresses, IDs and avatars are swapped before anything leaves the page. Beside it, the plugin's capture settings with toggles for auto layout, components, design tokens, prototype links, reference screenshot and mock data.
Mock dataPersonal details are replaced in the browser, before the capture leaves the page.
