A bookmarklet to copy any webpage into Figma as editable layers
What is it?
Figmimic is a bookmarklet that captures the current web page and copies it to your clipboard as Figma frames. Pasted frames are editable, not flat screenshots. Open Figma and paste it in.
It works on any page you can see in your browser — including dashboards, admin panels, and apps behind authentication walls that other tools can't reach.
Under the hood, it embeds Figma's own capture.js in a bookmarklet. For more, read the blog post.
