Video Tutorial: Add transition effects to animated GIF exports in Figma

This video walks through how to add fade/slide/wipe transition effects to animated GIF exports in Figma using the TinyImage plugin.

Set Dimensions ​

By default, GIF dimensions match the first frame. You can override width and height manually.

Set Scale ​

Use the scale dropdown to export at scaled sizes (for example @2x or @0.5x).

Choose Image Fit ​

Choose between:

  • Cover Images
  • Contain Images (default)

Set Background Color ​

Set a solid background using a HEX color value.

If your input frames include transparency, enable Transparent Background when you need a transparent GIF.

Configure Compression and Quality ​

Use the quality slider (1-100) to control lossy compression.

Enable Lossless if you want GIF compression without quality loss.

Configure Global Color Palette ​

Enable All frames have the same color palette to reuse frame-one palette across all frames.

Use this only when needed for artifact/banding fixes. It can cause color issues when later frames use colors not present in the first frame.

Choose Image Dithering ​

Choose a dithering algorithm from the Image Dithering dropdown.
