Finally! Export Figma Prototypes to MP4/GIF Without Recording Your Screen
I love Figma. But exporting animated prototypes as smooth videos? Painful.
You either screen record your screen (and crop it manually), or you give up.
I got tired of that — so I built Flowshot.
🎬 What It Does
With Flowshot, you can:
- Export any Figma prototype as MP4 or GIF
- Preserve transitions and animation timing
- Choose frame size, speed, loop mode
- All in just a few clicks
And yes — it’s free, open source, and no watermark.
🚀 How It Works
Under the hood, it uses:
- Playwright to simulate Figma playback
- ffmpeg to generate clean video/gif output
- A simple REST API (for devs)
- A Figma plugin (for designers)
- A cross platform desktop app built on top of the core API for easier management
You just click “Record”, and it does the rest.
💡 Why I Built It
I needed it. Simple as that.
And I know a lot of other designers and devs do too.
I care about tools that help people express ideas — without getting stuck on dumb limitations.
