How Do You Make an Animated Button in Figma?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 10:49 pm

Animated buttons are a great way to add some personality to your web site or application. Buttons are one of the most important elements on a web page, so it’s important to make sure they stand out and are easy to use.

There are a few different ways to create animated buttons in Figma. One way is to use the built-in button component. To do this, simply drag the button component from the left sidebar onto your canvas.

Once you have your button on the canvas, you can customize it by changing the text, color, size, and other properties. To animate your button, simply click on the “Animate” property in the right sidebar and select your desired animation from the drop-down menu.

PRO TIP: This article contains outdated information. The Figma interface has changed since this was written, and some of the steps may no longer work correctly.

Another way to create an animated button is to use a frame animation. To do this, create a frame on your canvas and then add your button to it. Once you have your button in place, you can add keyframes to it by clicking on the “Add Keyframe” property in the right sidebar.

Keyframes allow you to change the properties of your element at specific points in time. This is useful for creating complex animations that would be difficult or impossible to create with the built-in button component.

Once you have added all of your keyframes, you can preview your animation by clicking on the “Play” button in the bottom left corner of the screen. If you’re happy with your animation, you can export it as a GIF or video by clicking on the “Export” property in the right sidebar.

Animating buttons in Figma is a great way to add some personality to your web site or application. By using the built-in button component or frame animations, you can easily create complex animations that will make your buttons stand out and be easy to use.
