Smart Animate in Figma transforms static designs into polished, interactive prototypes that feel like real applications. Here's how to create compelling animations that showcase your design vision.

Setting Up Smart Animate

Basic Requirements

  • Matching layer names across frames
  • Similar layer structure and hierarchy
  • Connected prototype flows between frames

Creating Your First Animation

  1. Duplicate your frame (Cmd/Ctrl + D)
  2. Modify the duplicate - change positions, sizes, or properties
  3. Connect frames with prototype arrows
  4. Set interaction to "Smart Animate"
  5. Choose easing and duration

Building Responsive Layouts with CSS Container Queries Featured Post Paid Post

Learn how to create truly responsive components using CSS Container Queries, the modern alternative to media queries for component-based design systems

Building Responsive Layouts with CSS Container Queries

CSS Container Queries have finally landed in all major browsers, revolutionizing how we think about responsive design. Instead of responding to viewport size, components can now adapt based on their container's dimensions.

The Problem with Media Queries

Traditional responsive design relies on viewport-based media queries:

/* Traditional approach - viewport based */
@media (max-width: 768px) {
  .card {
    flex-direction: column;
  }
}

This breaks down in component-based architectures where the same component appears in different contexts - sidebar, main content, modal dialogs.
