Weavy (Figma Weave)
weavy.ai
Node-based AI workspace for generating images, video, animation, and VFX. Acquired by Figma in October 2025 for $200M+ and rebranded as Figma Weave — a canvas for combining AI media models into creative pipelines.
Jitter
jitter.video
Jitter is a browser-based motion design tool aimed at designers who want After Effects-style animation without the learning curve. It integrates directly with Figma (300k+ plugin installs), exports to 4K video, GIF, and Lottie, and includes kinetic typography and AI image-to-video generation. Won the Golden Kitty Award 2023 in the Design category.
Rive
rive.app
Rive is a real-time interactive animation tool that lets you design state-machine-driven animations and ship them natively to web, iOS, Android, Flutter, and game engines via lightweight .riv files. Unlike Lottie, animations respond to user input and runtime variables without extra code. Used by Spotify Wrapped, Duolingo, and apps reaching 2 billion users.
Paper
paper.design
Paper is a code-native design tool where every element on the canvas is real HTML and CSS — what you design is what ships, with no conversion step. Its MCP server exposes 24 bidirectional tools so AI agents can not only read your design but modify it: sync tokens from Figma, populate UI with live API data, or convert a design into React/Tailwind and commit to GitHub. Built by Stephen Haney, formerly of Modulz/Radix UI; currently in open alpha at $16/month.
LottieFiles
lottiefiles.com
LottieFiles is the central ecosystem for Lottie animations — a community library of 400,000+ animations, an online editor, and integrations with Figma, After Effects, Webflow, and Framer. Lottie files are up to 600% lighter than GIFs and render natively on iOS, Android, and web. The platform also handles team collaboration, version control, and the newer dotLottie format for even smaller file sizes.
Cavalry
cavalry.scenegroup.co
Cavalry is a procedural 2D animation tool built by former Mainframe studio veterans in Manchester. Instead of keyframing everything manually, you connect nodes to define repeating behaviors — making it ideal for data-driven motion, generative art, and complex animation at scale. Used by Apple, Canva, Google, Nike, and Buck; the free Starter tier is permanent.
Spline
spline.design
Spline is a browser-based 3D design tool that makes interactive 3D accessible to web designers without requiring Blender or Three.js skills. You get parametric modeling, timeline animation, event-driven states, and one-click embedding for websites — all with real-time collaboration. An optional AI add-on generates 3D objects and textures from text prompts.
Womp
www.womp.com
Womp is a beginner-friendly browser-based 3D modeler built around 'Goop' — a liquid modeling system where objects blend organically as you push and pull primitives together. It renders at 4K with PBR materials, supports real-time collaboration, and connects directly to a 3D printing service for physical output. Compared to Spline (which targets web embedding), Womp skews toward art-making and fabrication.
Unicorn Studio
www.unicorn.studio
Unicorn Studio is a no-code WebGL effects editor for the web — you stack layers with 70+ shader effects (gradients, glows, pixel distortions) on a spatial canvas and embed the result as a lightweight 36kb snippet. It sits between raw shaders and rigid presets, making GPU-accelerated visuals accessible without Three.js or GLSL. Think hero backgrounds and interactive effects for Webflow, Framer, or custom sites.
