Trusted Platform

Trusted Platform

Aninix's Figma plugin has earned 150,000 users and 2,300+ ratings — built by a team that understands motion designers and what it takes to make professional animation accessible.

In that case, I strongly recommend Aninix plugin if you're a Figma user: cheaper and lighter than AE, and powerful enough to make great Lottie animations directly from Figma layouts. No need a war machine to use it!

— @MrDorff

Yoooo! Thanks for the Aninix recommendation! This is mindblowing! All this while I've been reluctantly prepping to use AE for UI animations lol

— @itsdavidalagoa

First try with Aninix, an animation plugin for Figma. Super impressed with its intuitiveness and performance!
