Your animated logo, in Figma — without pretending Figma plays SVG
Figma imports a pasted SVG as static vector layers and drops all animation. So the recipe is honest: paste the crisp static frame for your design files, and use the GIF where Figma really plays motion — prototypes and presentations.

How it works
- 01
Upload your logo
Drop in a PNG or SVG. LogoAnimator samples it into a dot-matrix model right in the browser — no account needed to preview.
- 02
Pick a motion
The motion ships in the GIF and Lottie exports; the static paste keeps the fully-lit frame, so any animation gives the same crisp vectors in Figma.
- 03
Copy static SVG, paste in Figma
In the export panel, open the Figma / Canva tab and hit Copy static SVG — then paste onto the Figma canvas. Every dot arrives as a real, recolourable vector layer.
What actually animates in Figma
Figma ignores SVG animation entirely — SMIL and CSS both. A pasted animated SVG shows up as its static frame, which is why LogoAnimator gives you that frame deliberately: the Copy static SVG button strips the animation payload and hands Figma exactly what it can use, crisp vector dots it imports as editable layers. Where Figma does play motion is media: a placed GIF plays in prototypes and in Figma presentations, and Lottie JSON plays through community plugins.
The three routes, side by side
Design files and libraries: paste the static SVG — it scales losslessly, recolors with Figma’s own fill tools, and slots into components and brand libraries. Prototypes and decks: export the looping GIF and place it like any image; it plays in presentation and prototype playback. Plugin workflows: export Lottie JSON and insert it with a Lottie plugin when your team ships motion assets that way.
Why not just paste the animated SVG?
It doesn’t break — Figma quietly drops the <animate> elements — but you’d be pasting kilobytes of animation data Figma throws away. The static copy is a fraction of the size and imports faster, with an identical result on the canvas. Keep the animated SVG for the places that play it: your site, a README, an embed.
Free vs Pro
The static SVG paste is free with a small watermark, exactly like the SVG export it derives from. The GIF for prototypes and the Lottie for plugins are Pro exports — watermark-free, with a commercial-use license.
