Config 2026: a guide for admins – Figma Learn - Help Center

At Config 2026, we expanded what's possible on the Figma canvas: new materials like motion and shaders, tools you can build yourself, and a more powerful agent to support your work.

This article walks through each feature we announced, including availability status and what to know as an admin. Some features are in beta or coming soon. We'll note availability for each below and keep this article updated as things change.

Here's what's new:

Figma Motion
Custom shader effects and fills
Weave tools in Figma Design
Updates to the Figma agent in design files
Generative plugins
Code layers (closed beta)

Figma MotionOpen beta

Before you start

Who can use this feature

Available for Full seats on all plans

Creating and editing motion requires can edit access to the file.

Create production-ready animations directly in your design files with Figma Motion.

Animate your designs: Quickly add motion with preset animations, or build your motion from the ground up with keyframes.
Fine-tune your motion: Use easing curves and spring animations to shape how your motion feels.
Generate a first pass with the Figma agent: Describe the motion you want and let Figma agent add keyframes to the timeline. Then refine the details manually or keep prompting until the motion is just right.
Build your motion system: Maintain consistency across your motion system with timing and easing variables and animated components.
Ship your animations: Use the read-only timeline in Dev Mode to inspect animations at full fidelity, then copy code into CSS, JSON, or React. Or send animation context to your coding tools via the Figma MCP server.

Frequently asked questions

Who can access Figma Motion?

Figma Motion is available on all plans in open beta. You can access Figma Motion in any design file you have can edit access to by switching the toolbar toggle to Motion.

Publishing animated components, generating animations with the Figma agent, and high-resolution video exports require a Full seat on a paid plan.

Is Figma Motion available on Figma for Government plans?

Figma Motion is not available on Figma for Government plans.

Does Figma Motion consume AI credits?

Figma Motion doesn't use AI credits directly, but using the Figma agent to create motion will use AI credits in the future. Currently, while the Figma agent is in beta, it does not use AI credits. Once the agent is generally available, standard AI credit usage will apply. Manually editing agent-created motion never consumes credits.

Custom shader effects and fillsOpen beta
