MotionKit just got better! The goto animation tool in 2026

MotionKit is great, not just because of its great features,
Also because it's generously 100% free, allows you to render & export any animation to Mp4/Gif/Png & even lottie. No hidden paywalls! This makes the whole motion design process FREE and even brings non-figma users into Figma, because Figma is also mostly Free and you can even create social media or product videos using MotionKit without spending a penny!

Previously it already had great features:

Timeline with strong record, allowing to animiate and interpolate everything inside figma.
Frame By Frame animation with Onion Skinning
Nested Animations via nested artboards
Free forever

But now it just updated to the new version, version 2+ and it got even better. The new stuff added:

Modifiers

Now it's truly a mini blender inside Figma, using modifiers you can now:

Stroke Path tracing, animate any element on another vector path
Type writer Effect for texts!
Loop modifier for any Layer
Copy Animations from other layers and ...

Modifiers open so many opportunities and architecture, allows to headlessly build and plug-in more modifiers in future.

Timeline Markers

Now by default if you hit "M" in the timeline ( You can customize the shortcut from settings, just like any other shortcut key ), it places a Marker on that time, and you can label them or give them any color as you wish.

Bug fixes, UX Improvements

Transform system refactored so properties like Morphing, Rotation, transform and ... perform together much better.
Layer List now supports drag drop sorting, and reparenting.
Animation Can happen now for any fill property ( Solid Colors, Gradients, Pattern, and Image properties like contras, brightness and ... )
