Figma Motion Adds Text Animation and Audio Tools.

Figma Motion can now animate text and carry audio, according to a LinkedIn post from Figma. Both capabilities sit inside the Motion tool, so a title card, a button label or a bit of body copy can now move and make sound without a handoff to another app.

This follows Figma's earlier addition of reusable styles and Lottie export, which let teams save motion presets and ship them straight into production code. Text animation and audio close two obvious gaps in that workflow: before this, anything with moving type or a sound cue had to be mocked up elsewhere and dropped back into the prototype as a flat asset.

For a product walkthrough, an onboarding screen or a marketing teaser, text is usually doing half the work. Being able to animate it directly in Motion means a designer can time a headline to appear with a transition, sync a caption to an interaction, or pair a sound effect with a state change, all inside the same canvas used for the rest of the prototype. That matters for anyone building app intros, explainer loops or social previews who previously bounced between Figma and a separate motion or audio tool just to finish one sequence.

The LinkedIn post is short and points to a demo link rather than a changelog, so detail on specific controls, file formats or audio length limits is not yet public.

What is Figma Motion? Figma Motion is the animation and prototyping tool built into Figma for creating moving sequences, such as app walkthroughs, transitions and marketing loops, without leaving the design file.

What do text animation and audio add to Figma Motion? They let designers animate text layers and attach sound directly inside a Motion sequence, rather than producing those elements in a separate app and importing them as static assets.
