TinyImage vs FFmpeg
FFmpeg alternative. Prepare the animation without a command-line pipeline.
TinyImage is an FFmpeg alternative for a designer’s GIF or MP4 editing task in Figma. Resize, crop, trim, reverse or retime a supported input and export an optimized animated delivery file.
Free to install. Includes 10 Pro trials, no credit card required.
...a massive lifesaver. Easily shaved 4 hours off of my work today. Thanks!

Resize, crop, trim, retime, and recompress an existing GIF or MP4.
Load an existing GIF or MP4, then resize, crop, rotate, flip, trim, reverse, retime, and export it in the animated format you need without rebuilding the source animation.
- GIF and MP4 input
- Resize, crop, trim, and transform
- GIF, APNG, WebP, MP4, and WebM output
Hit exact file-size limits without guessing at image quality.
Set a maximum file size in KB for each Figma export. TinyImage makes several compression passes to get close to the limit without sacrificing more quality than necessary.
- Exact KB targets
- Per-image overrides
- JPG, PNG, SVG, WebP, and AVIF
Compress confidential images locally inside Figma.
Compress confidential images locally within Figma. Product, campaign, and client visuals stay out of external optimization services.
- Local image processing
- No cloud upload
- Direct optimized downloads

TinyImage ProWhat to check before switching.
FFmpeg supports a much broader media-processing surface. TinyImage’s visual editor does not replace arbitrary codecs, audio pipelines or automation scripts; compare only the supported edit and export requirements.
Read the workflow guide- Start with an MP4 needing a shorter loop, new dimensions and a GIF delivery copy. Load a selected Figma GIF layer or a local GIF or MP4.
- Edit the dimensions, crop, timing, direction, and loop count.
- Compress and export the finished animation in the required format. FFmpeg supports a much broader media-processing surface.
Common questions
What to know before you start.
When should I choose TinyImage instead of FFmpeg?
Designers making routine animation-delivery edits near the Figma campaign artwork.
When is FFmpeg a better fit?
Developers needing programmable media conversion, filters and a command-line processing pipeline.
What should I check before switching?
FFmpeg supports a much broader media-processing surface. TinyImage’s visual editor does not replace arbitrary codecs, audio pipelines or automation scripts; compare only the supported edit and export requirements.
Can TinyImage replace an automated FFmpeg pipeline?
Use it for the supported visual editing task. Keep FFmpeg when the job needs scripting, broader codec support, audio processing or unattended production.
Can I try TinyImage before upgrading?
Yes. Install TinyImage from the Figma Community to use 10 free Pro trials. No credit card required.
