Figma Motion

Figma Motion is an animation design tool from Figma. It lets designers and developers create production-ready animations directly on the Figma canvas, without opening a separate animation app. You can start with pre-made styles, then take full control of keyframes and the timeline, add spring and Bezier easing, and build smooth screen-to-screen transitions. Animations can be exported as real code such as CSS, JSON, or React, so the handoff to development is direct rather than a description in a spec. The site says it can be used for free at the start.

- Animate elements directly on the Figma canvas.

- Use pre-made styles or set your own keyframes.

- Add spring and Bezier easing for smooth motion.

- Export animations as CSS, JSON, or React code.

- Designers who want motion inside Figma.

- Developers who need exportable animation code.

- Teams handing design work to development.

The free access is described as available at the beginning, so a paid tier is likely for heavier or long-term use, and pricing can change. Advanced animation still takes practice, and the timeline and easing controls have a learning curve for newcomers. Getting the most from the exported code assumes some developer knowledge, so solo designers may need help turning motion into a working build. Confirm current export formats before you plan a handoff. When quality matters, export a small draft first to confirm the result before producing the final file. Generated suggestions are for reference only, so verify anything that affects professional judgment or important data. Save a backup of the original file before large batch jobs, and keep an exported copy of key results in case the page or service becomes temporarily unavailable.
