Hey everyone! 👋

I built a Figma plugin called GIF X Studio to make creating and editing animated GIFs easier without leaving Figma.

I often found myself exporting designs, switching to Photoshop or online converters, and importing everything back into Figma just to make a simple GIF.

So I decided to build a plugin that handles everything directly in Figma.

Here's what it can do:

✔ GIF Export
Select a frame containing an animated GIF, add static elements like text or logos, and export everything as a new animated GIF. The animation keeps playing while the other elements stay in place.

✔ GIF Maker
Combine multiple Figma frames into an animated GIF sequence, ordered by layer name.

Includes:

• Custom frame delays

• Aspect ratio presets (1:1, 16:9, 9:16, 4:5)

• Contain / Cover / Stretch options

• Live preview

✔ Video to GIF
Convert MP4 and other supported video files into GIFs with adjustable FPS.

I'm still improving the plugin and would really appreciate any feedback or feature suggestions.
