Eighth* of a screen, sorry. It’s still is a dealbreaker for me though
hey @Krovatko,
The watermarked exports still incur us processing costs so we hope if you need this plugin, you at least try to support it by paying for it.
We are a vert small dedicated team in Canada working on this problem full-time and the pricing allows us to to at least pay ourselves a minimum wage and feel motivated to continue to work hard on this problem.
If you believe the pricing is unjustified, try the few competition plugins out there… You will soon realize how hard the technical aspect of this project is to the extent that even bigger players aren’t solving it well.

Fairly sure it’s in the pipes at Figma’s. Meanwhile I screen record and edit. While I do hope your team will get successful - minimum wage is never fun - we can’t rationally pay more for a plugin than you pay for the main app, especially when you can hack the feature as I do. A big one time payment is acceptable, but a high recurring subscription, no way. I don’t even use it every month…

Hey Lovely designer, we at creativeflow.ai recently published another plugin to help you export your prototypes. This time it is an export to HTML/CSS animation. It is a free plugin and would love to hear your feedback once you tried it:

Hi,
I really need the same function that I had with Adobe XD (record prototype), then a final video preview of my prototype. I have already tried all the solutions you mentioned above, but it’s not what I need. Any news about this? It’s really a pity that after so many years we are still there.

hi @Francesca_Sanfilippo I built the Figma export to GIF/Mp4 plugin and happy to troubleshoot any issues you might have had if you are willing to DM me with more details: https://www.figma.com/community/plugin/1170836206919391034/export-to-gif-video

I won’t say your idea is a stupid one, i think it’s even a nice one! But it’s not an answer to the initial problem. For many needs you just need a video ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
It would be pretty convenient to be able to export device mockups directly from the prototype mode when viewing the designs. This would save alot of time because we wont have to download separate device mockup files and drag screen frames into it.

Adding my voice to this thread as it would be such a dream to be able to export the prototypes to gif or mp4… thank you.

Not yet! Thanks for the validation @dylanvd
I was happy to found out that there’s this Export to GIF/ Video Plugin - but come on, at 20 EUR a month??? No thank you, I’ll stick to my crappy screen share 
Jesus nowadays you cannot own software at all, it’s all subscriptions, subscriptions, subscriptions.

We built a really simply (free) plugin that allows you to either:
- upload your existing screens and turn them into an interactive demo (with variables, link sharing, animations, multiple hotspots, voiceovers, GIF/video export options, etc)
- or open your prototype on the browser and record each click
Free plan includes 5 free demos (you can delete old ones to cycle through your limits) - sharing here in case it’s helpful to anyone!

For the entirety of my career I’ve had to share prototypes with people but sometimes a video is easier than a clickable prototype. I actually do this often and sometimes just more convenient. Big bonus point if there an option to record a voiceover and/or add music too

Absolutely, having the ability to export device mockups directly from the prototype mode would streamline the workflow, right? So, is this feature available now, or is it still on the way?

Are there any updates on this Is exporting the prototype to GIF or any way to share your prototype video? It would save a lot of time

Hey everyone! We NEED your votes here!
Someone from Community Support dropped by in 2023 (look up there) and mentioned they’re focusing on the most voted features (800+ votes). This thread’s been around for 3 years and we’re only at 698 votes? That’s crazy, especially with how many people checked this thread (+200k people)
Come on folks, let’s get those numbers up! Just takes a second to vote.

This is by far the best solution for this:

I initially developed this plugin myself but after one year I passed it on to another developer who is in charge of it now (a very capable one).
I suggest to try this out and message them if you were facing any issues.

I don’t understand why this video export option isn’t a standard part of Figma.
Surely creating animated social content (stories/reels etc) in mp4 is a huge feature,
yet you can’t simply export the video! (without an expensive plugin)
Figma can create excellent interactive prototypes and smart animations, but why doesn’t it support exporting them into GIF or video formats?
