How Can I See Animations in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 11:51 pm

Figma is a great tool for designers and front-end developers alike. One of its key features is the ability to view animations in the browser.

To view an animation in Figma, simply select the frame you want to view in the left-hand panel and click the ‘Play’ button in the top-right corner of the screen. The animation will then play in the middle of the screen.

PRO TIP: If you are looking for a way to view animations in Figma, be warned that there is currently no built-in way to do this. However, there are some workarounds that you can use to view your animations. One workaround is to export your animation as a GIF or video file and then view it in an external viewer. Another workaround is to use the “Preview” feature in Figma, which will allow you to view your animation in real-time.

You can also control the playback of your animation by using the ‘Rewind’, ‘Forward’, ‘Pause’ and ‘Stop’ buttons. These can be found in the same top-right corner of the screen, next to the ‘Play’ button.

If you want to view your animation at a different speed, you can use the ‘Speed’ slider that is located next to the playback controls. Simply drag the slider to the left to slow down the animation or to the right to speed it up.

Finally, if you want to export your animation so that it can be used on a website or in a presentation, simply click on the ‘Export’ button in the top-right corner of the screen and select your desired export format (GIF, MP4 or WebM).
