Description
Opacity Randomizer is a powerful yet simple Figma plugin that helps designers quickly create visual variety by randomizing opacity values across selected objects. Whether you're working on illustrations, UI designs, or complex compositions, this plugin gives you fine-grained control over opacity randomization with real-time preview.

Using the Plugin
ㅤ
➊ Minimum Opacity
Sets the lowest possible opacity value for randomization.
- Range: 0% to 100%
- Default: 50%
- Adjust using the slider or type a value directly
➋ Maximum Opacity
Sets the highest possible opacity value for randomization.
- Range: 0% to 100%
- Default: 100%
- Adjust using the slider or type a value directly
➌ Opacity Step
Controls the increment between possible opacity values.
- Range: 1 to 100
- Default: 1 (continuous randomization)
- Example: A step of 25 will only use values like 25%, 50%, 75%, 100%
➍ Randomize Instances in Groups/Frames
When enabled, applies randomization to individual elements within groups and frames instead of the parent container.
- Default: Disabled
- Use Case: Perfect for randomizing multiple objects within a group while keeping the group structure intact
➎ Tips & Tricks
Creating Depth: Use a range like 30% to 100% to create depth in illustrations or background elements.
Subtle Variations: Set a narrow range (e.g., 80% to 100%) for subtle opacity differences.
Stepped Effects: Use larger step values (e.g., 25 or 50) for distinct opacity levels rather than continuous variation.
Group Randomization: Enable "Randomize children" when working with groups to affect individual elements rather than the entire group.
Live Preview: The plugin updates in real-time, so you can experiment with different settings before applying.
Revert Anytime: Click Cancel to restore all objects to their original opacity values.
☻ Wrap-Up
With Opacity Randomizer, you can quickly add visual variety and depth to your designs without manually adjusting each element. Experiment with different settings to discover unique effects, and remember that the live preview lets you iterate freely before committing to changes. Happy designing!
