Native timeline-based animation built into Figma Design.

Bq By Benchquill Editorial Team ·Updated June 30, 2026 ·How we rate

Figma Motion (launched at Figma Config 2026, June 24, 2026, in open beta) is a native timeline-based animation tool built directly into Figma Design. It adds keyframes for position/scale/rotation/opacity, auto-keyframing, animation presets, bezier/easing curves and spring physics, motion variables, and animated components that propagate across files and collaborators. You can export to MP4, GIF, WEBM and Animated SVG, or copy animation code as CSS, JSON or framework-ready React, with an inspectable timeline in Dev Mode. It's rolling out gradually across all plans; Lottie export and 3D transforms are noted as coming soon.

Figma Motion is best suited for Product designers and teams creating UI animations and prototypes and handing off inspectable, code-ready motion to developers without leaving Figma.
