Remove Hidden Layers

About this plugin

Clean up bloated design files and reduce file size with this powerful optimization tool. Perfect for handoffs, design system maintenance, and file performance.

🎯 What it does:

• Detaches all component instances in selected frames

• Removes every hidden (invisible) layer automatically

• Compresses oversized images with smart quality control

• Handles large files (100,000+ layers) without freezing

✨ Key Features:

• Non-blocking processing - UI stays responsive even on huge files

• Optional image optimization with transparency detection

• Real-time progress tracking and detailed logs

• Smart compression: only applies if result is smaller

• Works completely offline - no data sent anywhere

📊 Perfect for:

• Preparing files for developer handoff

• Cleaning up design system components

• Reducing file size before sharing

• Removing leftover hidden layers from iterations

• Compressing high-resolution images to display size

⚙️ How it works:

1. Select a frame or component

2. Click "Clean Frame" (optionally enable image optimization)

3. Watch progress in real-time

4. Stop anytime if needed

⚠️ Important: This makes destructive changes. Duplicate your file first or rely on Figma's version history.

🚀 Performance: Handles files with 100,000+ nodes. Typical cleanup takes 30-120 seconds depending on complexity.

Update:

Major visual redesign, automatic dark/light theme switching, micro interactions, stop confirmation dialog, improved error handling, and more accurate progress estimates.
