Animate your Figma designs with AI in seconds.

How it works:

  1. One-click generation: Select a frame or component → generate 4 animation options instantly.
  2. Smart analysis: We analyze your layout, hierarchy, and intent to brainstorm ideas, no need to prompt.
  3. Export anywhere: MP4 (up to 4K), GIF, optimised Lottie, Telegram and more
  4. Editable animation: You can further edit the generated animation; refine layers, timing, properties, add presets, keyframes, easing and more in a full-featured motion editor.
  5. Fastest and easiest way to animate in Figma: Cut hours of manual effort, no need to switch tools mid-flow, get started directly from your Figma file.

Built for real workflows:

🛠️ FAQs:

Can I edit the animation?

Yes, each generated animation can be opened in our motion editor for full manual editing of layers, keyframes and more.

Can I prompt it using text/ chat?

Not yet, but it’s coming soon. For now, it’s one-click generation with 4 variations per run. Your design helps inform us of your intent, so the more organised they are, the better the results. Then you can edit them in our easy-to-use editor with quick presets or keyframes.

What formats are supported?

MP4 (up to 4K), GIF, Lottie JSON, Telegram and more.

Does it support grouped layers and components?

Yes, Magic Animator parses Figma structure, layout, and layer hierarchies intelligently.

Can I collaborate or share generated animations with my team?

Yes, you can either embed it directly in Figma or if you want to share an editable version, you can do so via our motion editor where you also get real-time collaboration and multiple artboards.
