What it is
Noise & Texture is a Figma plugin that allows designers to overlay seamless noise, grain, gradients, and texture effects directly onto layers and shapes. It provides a non-destructive workflow for adding depth and character to flat UI elements. The plugin is widely used by designers creating glassmorphism, frosted glass, and organic visual styles.
