FIGMA ANIMATION INSTALL
How do I install a Plugin in Figma? First of all, if you don’t have the plugin installed, go to your Figma app and under the Plugins menu go to Manage Plugins, here you’ll see a few featured plugins.
It’s a great way to add motion to your designs and render those designs as a video or a GIF to share with other people on the team. Most notably is Adobe Photoshop, but this is Figma, so let’s make a GIF with Figmotion, which is a plugin for Figma that lets you make keyframe-based animations (kind of like a mini version of After Effects).įigmotion is a bit tricky because it’s an external plugin, it has some bugs and unintended consequences sometimes.
GIFs can be made with a variety of tools. In this article I will go over the different methods of adding animations to designs done in Figma, from the most simple to the complex, feel free to hop around them as you wish, this is my order: Somehow I see a lot of people eyeballing towards Adobe XD, Protopie, UXPin or Principle for their animation features, so I decided to write this article to let you know what’s possible these days in Figma.Īs our tools keep evolving I’m sure Figma will get more and more features and this article might seem quaint in a few months, but this is a snapshot of what’s possible today. It matured as one of the most influencing design tools around, it also got an ecosystem of plugins around it and a few new tricks up its sleeve. I like Figma, it’s one of those tools that from the first time I tried it I understood there’s something new and interesting here, since then it only got better with every update.Īs a designer/developer I always look out for new tools, both at the design front and at the development front, we clearly are in the golden age of new tools in both of these fronts.įigma has come a long way since I first tried it out.
