Release Notes

With this Figma Motion feature bundle, Motion designers will have an easier way to preview preset animation styles, view Lottie files before exporting, and more fine tune controls with physics based springs.

Here’s what’s new:

→ Style previews: Watch each style play in the animations list and on your design on canvas before you apply it.

→ Physics based springs: Set mass, stiffness, and damping for iOS and Android, and the duration updates to match for more realistic animations. Save the spring in a design system to reuse at scale.

→ Lottie export previews: Preview how your animation plays as a Lottie file before you export it.

Select area is an AI image editing tool that lets you select part of an image to isolate or erase it. You can now click an object in an image and Figma selects it for you, so you no longer have to trace around it by hand. Available on the macOS desktop app only.

The Figma agent now generates polished vector illustrations and icons that are easy to edit, match to your style, or animate.

• Functional layer grouping: Generated vectors are built for easy iteration with independent layers that are grouped intuitively.
• Attach references: Give the agent your illustrations as a style reference to generate additional components or on-brand icons at scale.
• The right strokes: The agent uses strokes, not fills, for line work, so you can change stoke weight and end caps without redrawing.
• Ready to animate: Clean layer structure lets you or the agent bring vectors to life with Figma Motion.

When you create a code layer from design frames, the agent now reads the prototype connections and interactions between them. That way, you spend less time prompting the complex parts of your flow and more time refining your prototype and finding edge cases.

Code layers is currently in open beta.

Cloning will be enabled by default for new GitHub repository connections, so teams can import code into Figma without an additional admin approval step. Admins can disable cloning for individual repositories at any time and settings for existing repository connections will stay the same.

Rolling out to all plans.

Shaders now render and export at higher resolutions and can be exported into code layers.

• Render and export shaders in up to 4096px max resolution to preserve their visual appearance and detail.
• Include shaders in designs when using the "build this with code" functionality to turn designs into code layers. Shaders will render properly within code layers when the code layer is set to Play in the top-right corner of the layer. Only available in the browser via Chrome version 157, rolling out this week.
• Shaders are now generally available to all users.

Users can now publish Weave tools for use within their Figma organization. Internally published Weave tools will appear in the Tools tab in Figma alongside Weave tools built by Figma and the Figma Community. Internal publishing is only available on Organization and Enterprise plans.

Connect Google Drive to the Figma agent and Make to bring your existing file context into Figma, and create new Drive files without leaving your file. Use the Google Drive connector to summarize research insights, reference real data, or pull in assets to edit on the canvas.

Connectors are now available on all Figma plans, including Starter. Add Google Drive and other connectors from the plus menu in the prompt box when you collaborate with Figma agents.
