UXLink
Export designs and animations between Figma and After Effects in two clicks.
UXLink exports designs and motion between Figma and After Effects while keeping your structure and animation intact.
Simple Workflow
Enable Auto-import into AE in Settings to create a fitted comp when you click Send. Its duration matches the animation.
What arrives intact
Layer structure in After Effects
Motion, both ways
Keyframes, easing curves, and durations are preserved in both directions. The full animation stays editable whichever way you export, from Figma to After Effects or from After Effects to Figma.
Path and vector vertex animations aren't supported, since Figma itself doesn't support animating them.
