ValidateThat — Card Sort from Selection

About this plugin

Select a frame in Figma → the plugin extracts every text label → it creates a real, shareable card sort study on ValidateThat. Free for everyone within normal account limits.WHAT YOU CAN DO• Validate a homepage IA before development by sending it to real users• Test a navigation redesign — open, closed, or hybrid sorts• Run a card sort on your sitemap mockup without leaving your design file• Auto-dedupe hover, active, and mobile variants (no more "Invoices" appearing 4 times)• Skip hidden text nodes and ghost layers automaticallyWHY VALIDATETHAT• 60-second setup vs 20+ minutes of manual entry in other tools• Cards stay synced with your Figma file — if you rename a nav item, regenerate the study with one click• Real participant analytics (similarity matrix, dendrogram, agreement scores) — not just a spreadsheet of votes• Built by a UX researcher, not an analytics companyHOW IT WORKS1.

Card labels are sent to validatethat.io over HTTPS to create the study. No Figma file content is stored beyond the cards you submit. Tokens are stored locally in Figma's clientStorage and on our servers as SHA-256 hashes — never the raw token. Full policy: validatethat.io/privacy
