Description

Using the Plugin

➊ Select Your Elements

  1. Open your Figma file
  2. Select one or more elements you want to invert.

Tip: You can select multiple items at once to batch process them.

➋ Launch the Plugin

  1. With your elements selected, open the plugin: Go to Plugins → Invert Colors
  2. Or use the Quick Actions menu (Cmd/Ctrl + /) and search for "Invert Colors"
  3. The plugin dialog window will appear with multiple options:

➌ Configure Inversion Options

Before applying, you can customize what gets inverted using the settings panel:

  • Invert Fill Color: Toggle to invert/preserve fill colors
  • Invert Stroke Color: Toggle to invert/preserve stroke colors 
  • Invert Image Fills: Toggle to invert/preserve image pixel data

Tip: Disable specific options if you want to preserve certain aspects of your design. For example, turn off "Invert Image Fills" to keep photos unchanged while inverting other colors.

➍ Preview Your Changes

  1. The plugin window opens with Preview enabled by default
  2. Your selected elements will immediately show the inverted colors based on your settings
  3. Click the eye icon button to toggle preview on/off and compare before and after:
    • Eye open (blue outline): Preview is active - see inverted colors in real-time
    • Eye closed: Preview is off - return to original colors
  4. Adjust the inversion settings and the preview updates automatically

Note: Preview is non-destructive - your original colors are preserved until you click Apply.

➎ Apply or Cancel

Once you're satisfied with the preview:

  • Click "Apply": Permanently apply the color inversion to your selected elements
  • Click "Cancel": Close the plugin and revert to original colors

Undo if Needed

If you applied the changes and want to revert:

  • Use Figma's undo function (Cmd/Ctrl + Z)
  • Your original colors will be restored

That's it! With selective inversion controls and real-time preview, you have complete control over how your colors transform.

Experiment freely and find the perfect color scheme for your design.
