Motion now lives on the canvas—in the same file as your components, your variables, and your team—so your designs can come to life from day one.

When it’s done right, motion is one of the most expressive elements in a design. It shapes how users read hierarchy and feel the thought behind an interaction. A creative decision this impactful should be scoped and shaped from the start, with input from the whole team.

Starting today, motion is native to the same canvas where the rest of your designs live. Motion is no longer a bottleneck or a one-person job. Any designer can now prompt the Figma agent to build motion directly on the new animation timeline, lowering the barrier to creation while raising the ceiling of what's possible. And with Dev Mode access and functionality, the whole experience is built for a much smoother handoff.
