About Anima
Anima's centre of gravity moved from the Figma plugin to a Playground that accepts anything.
Anima converts designs into front-end code. Through 2024 the work sat inside the Figma plugin and the Frontier tool — Shadcn, MUI and AntD output targets, monorepo support, image export overrides, code cleanup that strips unnecessary markup. In March 2025 it launched an AI Playground that takes a Figma link and produces a live app, and development has centred there since: full multi-screen Figma flows with breakpoints imported in one click, cloning of any live website into React or HTML, and publishing a Playground to one or several custom domains.
