Anima

Design-to-code platform for creating developer-friendly prototypes.

1. Overview

Anima is a design-to-code tool that allows designers to create interactive, high-fidelity prototypes and export developer-friendly React code. It was created by the Anima team to streamline collaboration between design and development. The tool helps bridge the gap between static mockups and production-ready code, making it easier to implement designs as functioning components. Anima is ideal for product designers, UI designers, and front-end developers working in modern workflows.

2. Key Features

  • Design-to-code export: Convert Figma, Adobe XD, or Sketch designs into responsive HTML, CSS, and React code.

  • Interactive prototypes: Add smart interactions, animations, and embedded media for realistic previews.

  • Auto-layout support: Maintain responsive behavior using auto-layout features in design tools.

  • Live preview: Share live URLs to view and test designs in-browser with real functionality.

  • Team collaboration: Sync designs and inspect code collaboratively with developers.

  • Component support: Maintain reusable components and mirror design structure in the exported code.

  • Code cleanliness: Generate production-level React code with minimal overrides.

  • Design system compatibility: Match tokens and structure with existing design systems.

  • Real content embedding: Embed videos, Lottie animations, forms, and live data.
