If you’re looking to add some animation to your Figma designs, there are a few different ways to go about it. In this article, we’ll walk you through how to animate an image in Figma using the built-in vector tools, as well as how to style text in HTML using the < p >, < b >, and < u > tags.

To animate an image in Figma, you’ll need to first select the layer that you want to animate. Then, click on the “Animate” button in the top toolbar. This will open up the animation panel on the right side of the screen.

In the animation panel, you can choose from a variety of different animations, such as “Fade In” or “Slide Up”. To preview your animation, simply click on the “Play” button. Once you’re happy with your animation, you can export it as a GIF or MP4 by clicking on the “Export” button.

To style text in HTML using the < p >, < b >, and < u > tags, simply add these tags around the text that you want to style. For example, if you want to make some text bold, you would wrap it in < b > tags like this: This text is bold. You can also use the < u > tag to underline text, like this: This text is underlined.

So there you have it! Now you know how to animate an image in Figma and style text in HTML using the < p >, < b >, and < u > tags.

PRO TIP: Warning: An image may only be animated in Figma if it is a vector file. If you try to animate a bitmap image, the image will become distorted and lose quality.
