Figma itself cannot export animated GIFs, but Bannerify fills the gap beautifully. I can animate layers frame-by-frame, tweak easing, and export looped GIFs for CRM, product marketing, or social placements without touching another app.

Keep everything editable

Instead of building animations in Photoshop or After Effects, Bannerify works on the same Figma layers stakeholders already reviewed. Text stays editable, imagery swaps stay fast, and localization teams can translate copy without breaking the animation structure.

Control size and quality

Bannerify lets you convert your animation into a GIF while adjusting frame rate, looping behavior, and palette size. That means we can hit strict file-size limits without sacrificing clarity. The export preview shows the exact weight before you download it, which keeps approval cycles tight.

Steps I follow for GIF exports

1. Design the banner and animate it inside Bannerify’s timeline.
2. Choose the GIF export option, configure frame rate/looping, and preview the result.
3. Download the optimized GIF or send the hosted preview link for sign-off.

It’s the fastest way I know to go from a static Figma layout to a high-quality GIF without picking up another tool.

Mix GIFs with other formats

Most campaigns need more than one asset type. Bannerify lets me export GIF, MP4, and WebM versions simultaneously, keeping color, timing, and naming consistent. CRM teams grab the GIF for legacy clients, while social or product folks use the higher fidelity MP4. Because all exports share the same source animation, performance tests become meaningful—you’re comparing creative, not production quirks.

Tips for crisp GIF output

• Keep gradients and photo-heavy sections subtle; GIF’s 256-color palette favors flat colors.
• Use Bannerify’s onion skinning feature to align frame-by-frame animations when you need precise motion.
• Preview exports on both light and dark backgrounds to ensure transparent GIFs look intentional.

With a dialed-in workflow, Figma plus Bannerify becomes the only combo you need for motion assets across the entire marketing funnel.
