Figma Launches Vector Animation Suite with Real-Time Collaboration

Design · 4 min read

Figma introduced a built-in vector animation suite that brings timeline-based motion control, easing transitions, and symbol-level animation directly into its design canvas. The new tools let designers author keyframes, easing curves, and component-based micro-interactions without exporting to external animation programs.

A headline feature is real-time collaborative keyframing: multiple teammates can edit a timeline simultaneously and see live updates, mirroring Figma’s core multiplayer DNA. Figma says this reduces handoffs between product designers and motion specialists and keeps animation assets versioned inside design systems.

The company also added a set of developer-facing export options, generating production-ready CSS, Lottie, and SwiftUI code snippets for each animated component. Figma CEO Dylan Kim framed the release as a push to make motion a first-class element of UI systems, removing the need for separate tooling in many teams.
