Lofting: privacy policy

Last updated 14 November 2026.

Lofting is a browser extension, for Chrome and Firefox, that copies the page you're on to your clipboard as Figma layers.

What it reads. When you click its button, it reads the page in that tab: its text, layout, styles, pictures and fonts. To do that it fetches the page's own stylesheets, fonts and pictures again, from the same addresses the page loaded them from, and reads some pictures from your browser's cache. It reads nothing from any other tab, and nothing until you click.

Where it goes. Only to your clipboard. The extension has no server and sends nothing to its developer or anyone else. It has no analytics and no tracking.

Your Figma libraries. When the page has components from a UI library it recognises (MUI, Ant Design, Bootstrap, Mantine, shadcn/ui, Chakra), it asks figma.com, as you, signed in in this browser, which of your Figma libraries has components of those names ("Button", "Chip"), and reads those components' variants. It sends Figma those names and nothing else from the page, and keeps what it read of each component in the browser's local storage, so it reads it once.

A Figma library you link, if you choose one. In the options you can give it a link to a Figma library file and a Figma access token. It uses the token once, to read that file's component names and properties from Figma's API (api.figma.com), and doesn't keep the token. It keeps the list of components in the browser's local storage until you choose "Stop using it".

What it keeps. Besides a chosen library's component list: while a capture is running, it notes the tab's number in the browser's session storage, so it can tell you if the capture stopped part way. That note is deleted when the capture ends, and the browser clears it when it closes. Nothing else is stored.

Your clipboard. The copy replaces what was on your clipboard, as any copy does.

The helper for Mac, if you install it. The options page offers a small helper program you can install yourself. After a capture it removes, from that copy on your clipboard, the note Chrome adds saying which page the copy came from, so Figma's desktop app accepts your library's components. It runs only when the extension asks it to, reads nothing else, keeps nothing and sends nothing anywhere. Run its installer with --remove to take it off.
