Figma Plugin

Every character counts. Carefully refined.

Brevity checks every text layer against your character limits to prevent issues on launch.

Free to use. Pro features available by subscription.

What is Brevity?

Append a number in brackets to any text layer name (like Headline [50]) and Brevity counts the characters, color-codes the status, and helps you fix anything over the limit without leaving the plugin.

Works with frames, components, instances, groups, and sections. Supports dark mode and meets WCAG AA contrast throughout.

Core auditing is free. Pro tools are available by subscription.

Name your layers with a character limit
Review the audit — see counts, status tiles, and click any layer to zoom to it
Fix and ship — edit text on the canvas and watch counts update live
