How Do You Animate Transitions in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 9:41 pm

Figma is a vector-based design tool that is used by designers to create user interfaces, illustrations, and animations. One of the great things about Figma is that it has built-in tools for animating your designs. In this article, we will show you how to animate transitions in Figma.

When you are designing a user interface in Figma, you will often need to animate elements to show the user how they interact with the interface. For example, you may want to animate a button when the user clicks on it, or you may want to animate a menu when the user opens it. Animating these elements can make your design more engaging and fun to use.

To animate an element in Figma, first select the element on the canvas. Then, click on the “Animate” button in the toolbar.

PRO TIP: Figma’s animation tool is a great way to add some pizzazz to your designs, but it’s important to use it sparingly. Overusing animation can make your designs look cluttered and can be distracting to users. When used judiciously, however, animation can add some much-needed flair to your Figma designs.

In the “Animate” panel, you can choose from a variety of different animations, such as “Fade In”, “Slide Up”, “Scale”, and “Rotate”. You can also set the duration of the animation and whether or not it should repeat.

Once you have chosen an animation, click on the “Play” button to preview it. If you are happy with the animation, click on the “Apply” button to apply it to your design.

Animating transitions in Figma is a great way to add life to your designs and make them more engaging for users. With just a few clicks, you can add animations that will make your designs more fun and interactive.
