Jitter

Jitter is a browser-based motion design tool that lets product and brand designers animate work without learning After Effects. It pairs a Figma-like editor and Figma plugin with AI animation generation from text prompts, and exports to video, GIF and Lottie for handoff straight into apps and ad platforms.

Jitter is a collaborative, browser-based motion design tool positioned as the Figma of motion — a deliberately simpler alternative to After Effects for product designers, brand teams and marketers who need animation but do not work in motion full time. The editor combines one-click animation presets with full manual control, a pen tool and vector shape morphing, gradient creation and animation, layer and background blur, blend modes, audio and video integration, animated reusable components, and a 1,500-plus font library. Its collaboration model mirrors Figma's: shared workspaces, link sharing, in-context comments and stakeholder approval flows, with a Figma plugin so components move between the two tools. Exports cover video, GIF and Lottie, the last of which is what makes it practical for shipping animation into production apps rather than only into social posts. The 2026 product is explicitly AI-forward — the current tagline is 'Design in motion. Now with AI.' — with animation generated from text prompts, custom AI effect generation, image-to-video conversion, Magic Import for batch variations, and auto-resize and auto-translate for producing localised ad variants at volume. Around 400 free templates and named customers including Deliveroo, Perplexity, Rico Supply and Vendredi Society support a stated base of over 20,000 creative teams. Jitter launched in beta in February 2021, shipped its Figma plugin that May, released 1.0 in February 2023, and holds a 2021 Golden Kitty and the 2023 Design Tools Product of the Year award on Product Hunt, where it carries 4.9 out of 5 across 48 reviews.

Vendor states 20,000+ creative teams

• ✓
  AI animation from text prompts

  Generates motion from a written description, so a non-specialist gets a working animation without building keyframes manually.

• ✓
  Figma plugin and component reuse

  Moves designs between Figma and Jitter and reuses animated components, keeping motion inside the existing design workflow.

• ✓
  Lottie, video and GIF export

  Lottie output is what lets animation ship into production apps rather than being limited to marketing assets.

• ✓
  Magic Import and infinite variations

  Batch-generates design variations from one source, which is how ad teams produce dozens of creatives from a single concept.

• ✓
  Auto-resize and auto-translate

  Reformats and localises a single animation across aspect ratios and languages, removing the most repetitive part of ad production.

• ✓
  Real-time collaboration and comments

  Shared workspaces, link sharing and in-context comments put stakeholder review in the tool instead of email threads.

• ✓
  Advanced export controls

  Transparent and frame-by-frame export, ProRes and WebM, up to 4K at 120fps on higher tiers for production handoff.

• •
  Shipping app micro-interactions

  Designers export Lottie files that engineers drop straight into iOS, Android or web builds without re-implementation.

• •
  Social and paid ad production

  Marketing teams generate dozens of resized, localised variants from one animation instead of hand-editing each.

• •
  Product launch and demo videos

  Brand teams animate UI walkthroughs and feature explainers in-house rather than briefing an external motion studio.

• •
  Design system motion library

  Animated components stored in shared team libraries keep motion consistent across products and campaigns.

• •
  Stakeholder review and approval

  Link sharing and in-context comments let non-designers review animation without installing any software.

Jitter meters per editor per month with annual billing, and the tier you need is decided by export quality, workspace seat cap and AI credit allowance rather than by feature access. The practical gate is Pro: watermark removal and 1080p export both sit there, so the free plan is an evaluation tool, not a production one. Seat caps are hard — Pro tops out at 10 editors and Max at 50 — so a large team is pushed upward on headcount alone. AI credits are the newer axis, tripling from Max to Ultra, and Capterra lists no public starting price, so confirm current per-editor rates directly.
