12 Best Chrome Extensions for Designers in 2026 (Figma to Fonts)

5 min read · Updated 9/1/2026

A designer's toolkit in the browser — color, fonts, spacing, screenshots and design handoff extensions that speed up the workflow.

Designers live in the browser even when they work in Figma. These extensions turn the browser into a proper design tool — sampling colors, identifying fonts, measuring spacing, and capturing pixel-perfect screenshots without leaving the tab.

Color and font tools

ColorZilla samples any pixel on the page and builds palettes from what you find. WhatFont identifies the font and its size with one hover — indispensable when a client says 'make it like that site'. Fonts Ninja goes further with the full family and a try-before-you-buy preview.

Screenshot and capture

GoFullPage captures the entire page as one clean screenshot. Awesome Screenshot adds annotations and blur. For design reviews, Lightshot's quick capture is the fastest way to mark up a specific section and share the link.

Spacing and layout

Pesticide outlines every element on the page so you can actually see the layout grid. PerfectPixel overlays a design mock on the live page to pixel-check your implementation — the classic dev handoff tool.

Accessibility checks

axe DevTools runs automated accessibility checks right in the browser. Wave highlights contrast and heading issues visually. Both catch the problems that reviewers will find later anyway — better to catch them first.

Frequently asked questions

### Can I use these extensions with Figma?

The color and font tools work on any website, so you can sample from reference sites and bring the values into Figma manually. PerfectPixel overlays the live site, not the Figma canvas — the browser is where you verify, Figma is where you build.

### Are the free versions enough?

For the tools above, yes. ColorZilla, WhatFont, GoFullPage and Pesticide are fully free and unlimited. The paid tiers mostly add cloud sync and team sharing, which matter only when you work in a big team.
