Figma Plugin "Tappy" Now Released

October 10, 2024

We are pleased to announce the release of "Tappy," a Figma plugin that analyzes the size of buttons and links when designing smartphone web pages in Figma and displays the tap success rate. Users can select an iPhone model and choose an object in Figma to see its size when displayed on the specified iPhone (in both pixels and millimeters) and the success rate of tapping that object. Currently, the plugin supports iOS models with recognizable resolutions. (Support for the iPhone 16 series is planned for the next version.)

You can access the plugin here.

We hope that Tappy will be of help in developing web pages for smartphones.

For more details about the method of estimating the success rate, please visit the Yahoo! JAPAN Tech Blog.
