New Figma Motion updates: physics based springs, style and Lottie export previews
Figma adds Motion tools that let designers preview animation styles on canvas, fine-tune physics-based springs for iOS and Android, save springs for reuse, and check Lottie playback before exporting.
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 objects even faster with Figma’s AI image editing tools
Figma adds one-click object selection to its Select area AI image editing tool on the macOS desktop app.
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.

Improvements to agent-generated vector illustrations and icons
Figma now generates polished, editable vector illustrations and icons with intuitive layers, style references, adjustable strokes, and clean structures ready for animation in Figma Motion.
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.

Convert Update
Framer adds Agent support for creating and managing Convert funnels, A/B tests, and triggers, plus country-based overlays for targeted visitor experiences.
Today, we’re adding Agent support and country-based triggers to Convert. You can now ask the Framer Agent to create, edit, and analyze funnels and A/B tests, or add and edit triggers. You can use country-based triggers to show overlays based on a visitor’s country or region. For example, you can show visitors in Spain a banner promoting an upcoming event taking place in Barcelona.

Your prototype connections, now context for code layers
Figma’s code layer agent now reads prototype connections and interactions, helping teams refine flows and test edge cases in open beta.
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.

Clone connected GitHub repositories into Figma by default
Figma enables code cloning by default for new GitHub repository connections, with per-repository controls for admins, across all plans.
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.

Harness 2
Framer releases a rebuilt Agent harness for complete workflows, faster visible progress, and fewer tool steps and cached tokens. The update also expands agent capabilities across components, CMS, forms, code and SVG, branches, access controls, and project styles.
We rebuilt the Framer Agent’s harness to take on whole workflows in a single program. It can read your document, make decisions, and apply changes while the model is still writing the next steps, so you see progress sooner. The new approach uses 2x fewer tool steps and 39% fewer cached input tokens per message, and brings the same capabilities to external agents through MCP. Read the technical blog post for a closer look at Harness 2.
Components
- Edit object and array fields, more types, and animation settings.
CMS
- Configure sorting by multiple fields, status, and creation date.
Forms
- Configure custom email recipients and webhook destinations.
Code and SVG
- Read and edit code, use exports at once, and add or update SVGs.
Branches
- Create, switch, rename, join, leave, and delete branches.
Access
- Content editors edit and undo CMS changes; viewers ask but can’t edit.
Styles
- Add and customise more properties across your project’s styles.

Localization Update: Content Panel & Opt-In
Framer adds a Content panel to manage localized pages, collections, and components, with flexible options for including or translating content across locales.
The brand-new Content panel makes managing localized content easier than ever. It gives you a clear overview of all your pages, collections and components across locales, and you can decide which ones to include, keep untranslated, or hide entirely. You can also apply these preferences to multiple items, or to all your locales at once. Also, when adding a new locale, you can choose to include all content by default or keep it untranslated. This gives you the flexibility to localize a site gradually, for example starting with just your homepage and including other pages over time.

Export shaders at higher resolutions and bring them into code layers
Figma now supports shader exports up to 4096px and rendering in code layers, with shaders generally available in Chrome 157.
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.
