The Component Cloner plugin for Figma, created by Sage Miller, is a utility tool that enables designers to duplicate component instances without overwriting or altering the original versions. Its core function is to assign selected instances to a cloned copy of their original master component. This makes it particularly useful for exploring multiple iterations of a component design while preserving text, image overrides, and other instance-specific customizations.
With this plugin, users can streamline the iterative process by avoiding the need to recreate components or manually repeat content edits. Whether you’re testing layout changes, updating styles, or experimenting with new ideas, Component Cloner offers a non-destructive way to duplicate and edit. It’s especially useful in design systems, rapid prototyping, or collaborative workflows where multiple versions of a component need to coexist without breaking consistency.
