How Do You Animate a Prototype Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 9:01 pm

In order to animate a prototype in Figma, you’ll first need to create your prototype. To do this, you’ll need to create a frame, and then add your layers. Once you have your layers, you can add your animations.

PRO TIP: This article is a bit out of date, and the methods described may not work as intended.

There are two types of animations in Figma: frame-by-frame animations and tweened animations. Frame-by-frame animations are created by adding keyframes to your layers. Tweened animations are created by adding motion paths to your layers.

Once you’ve added your animations, you can preview them by clicking the play button in the upper left corner of the interface. You can also export your animation as a video or GIF by clicking the export button in the upper right corner of the interface.
