Animate your Figma designs with AI in seconds.
Magic Animator is the first AI tool that generates editable animations from your Figma designs.
In just ONE-click, get four unique animation variations you can export as-is or tweak further in a full-featured motion editor.
How it works:
- One-click generation: Select a frame or component → generate 4 animation options instantly.
- Smart analysis: We analyze your layout, hierarchy, and intent to brainstorm ideas, no need to prompt.
- Export anywhere: MP4 (up to 4K), GIF, optimised Lottie, Telegram and more
- 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.
- 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.

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