Anima
AI with an eye for design: turn Figma, websites, and prompts into live HTML or React apps
About Anima
Anima is a design-to-code platform that turns Figma designs, screenshots, cloned websites, and text prompts into responsive HTML or React code. Its AI Playground lets you refine the result visually, add a database and authentication, and publish or export the app, while the Figma plugin, MCP server, and API bring the same code generation into designer and developer workflows.
Pros & Cons
Pros
- One of the most accurate Figma-to-code converters, keeping layout and assets close to the original design
- Outputs both HTML and React, with TypeScript, Tailwind, and UI library options
- Website cloning and screenshot-to-app shorten the path from reference to working prototype
- MCP server and API let AI coding agents and other products use the same engine
- Free plan lets you test code generation before paying
- Large user base (1.8M+ builders) and an established company backed by Y Combinator and IBM
Cons
- Generated markup often needs manual cleanup before production use
- Free plan is very limited at 5 chat messages and 5 code generations
- Usage caps on code generations and chat messages apply on every paid plan
- Reviewers report occasional bugs, responsiveness issues, and a learning curve during onboarding
- SSO requires the Business plan on annual billing or the Enterprise plan
Key Features
Figma to code
Converts Figma designs into responsive HTML or React code that keeps the layout, assets, and visual details, with a two-way Figma-to-code sync on paid plans.
Website cloning
Imports multiple pages from any live website into one editable app with routes and navigation already connected.
Prompt and image to app
Generates a working app from a text prompt, screenshot, mockup, or user flow, then lets you keep refining design and behavior visually.
Choice of code output
Outputs HTML (clean CSS, Tailwind, or inline styles) or React in TypeScript or JavaScript with your preferred UI library.
On-brand builds
Imports design system components, matches a brand from any URL, or uses a Design.md file to keep generated apps visually consistent.
Build, preview, and publish
Builds and previews apps in the browser, adds a database and authentication, restores earlier versions, and publishes to a custom domain or exports the code.
Anima MCP server
Gives AI coding agents access to Anima's Figma-to-code engine, design systems, and project context so they can create and continue building live apps.
Anima API and SDK
Automates code generation from Figma designs, website clones, or prompts inside your own product; the engine already powers Figma import in Bolt.new and Replit.
Import AI artifacts
Imports code or artifacts from Claude and other AI tools, runs them as live apps, and lets you keep editing visually.

Best For
Design handoff
Designers export Figma screens as React or HTML so developers start from working code instead of rebuilding layouts by hand.
Rapid prototyping
Product teams turn a Figma file, screenshot, or prompt into a clickable live app to test flows with users and stakeholders.
Landing pages and marketing sites
Marketers generate responsive HTML landing pages and email templates from designs and publish them to a custom domain.
Website redesigns
Teams clone an existing site into an editable app and iterate on it visually before handing it to engineering.
Agent-driven development
Developers connect Claude or other coding agents to the Anima MCP server so the agent can generate and continue building UI from design context.
