What professionals say about SVGator

What designers, developers, and agencies took away from working with SVGator.

Great plugin! Love how easily I can animate SVGs in SVGator and bring the previews (GIF/MP4) plus the production-ready files back into Figma. Makes handoff so much smoother!

Product Manager

This is super cool, especially for those of us testing the waters in Figma but who definitely can’t animate our way out of a paper bag 😂 Being able to preview and hand off production-ready files right inside Figma is chef’s kiss. Really nicely done

The tool lets me create complex animations with zero coding knowledge, which has been a lifesaver for my web design projects.

What makes SVGator different?

Design, animate, add the triggers, and export the final file without switching tools.

Interaction travels with the file

Set hover, click, or scroll triggers before you export, and they stay in the SVG.

Every format from one project

One animation exports as SVG, Lottie, GIF, video, APNG, WebP, React Native, and Flutter.

Start from a free template

Pick a ready-made animation, make it yours in a few minutes, and export it.

How to switch from Figma Motion to SVGator

Your Figma work carries over, and comes back ready to ship.

1. Bring the design across

Copy your frame as SVG and paste it into SVGator.

2. Animate it

Work on a familiar keyframe timeline.

3. Export what you need

SVG for the web, Lottie for mobile, video for everything else.

4. Send it back

The plugin drops the production file into Figma.

FAQ

1. Is Figma Motion free?

Figma Motion comes with a Figma seat, with limits. Exports above 1920 x 1080 or above 30 FPS need a paid plan, and Starter seats get limited motion access.

2. What are the limitations of Figma Motion?

Figma Motion exports four formats: MP4, WebM, GIF and SVG. Lottie, React Native and Flutter are not among them. Shape morphing interaction is not part of the exported file either, so hover, click and scroll behavior gets written in code after handoff.

3. Is there a motion plugin for Figma?

Yes. The SVGator plugin for Figma is free, and it covers the part Figma Motion does not: turning a design into a production-ready animated file in any format you need. You animate in SVGator, then the plugin drops the finished SVG, Lottie, React Native or Flutter file back into your Figma project. Developers pull it from Dev Mode without an SVGator account of their own.

4. How do I export animations from Figma Motion?

Figma Motion exports MP4, WebM, GIF and SVG. Dev Mode also copies the animation as CSS, JSON or React code, though the React export assumes the Motion library is already installed in your project. SVGator exports the same video formats plus Lottie, APNG, WebP, React Native and Flutter, all from one project.

5. Can I import my Figma designs into SVGator?

Yes. Copy a frame as SVG and paste it in. All your layers survive the import.
