"Anima Streamlines Design-to-Code"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Anima?

I must say anima really shortens the design to develop loop. Our team start from a figma design and head over directly to anima for easy code generation thats feasible to iterate on. The figma plugin is pretty straightforward, the code iinspection/export feature helps our non-tech people understand the structure quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anima?

It's not a magic but "product-ready" button. We still spend some time cleaning up and adjusting the generated markup though. Eventually, this should gets fixed by the time which will reduce our time in reiteration and use the pre-generated code itself. Much needed!!! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Frontend Development with Anima"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Anima?

I use Anima for building and debugging the frontend code, and I find it very easy to use with the best quality. Making a clone of any website by simply providing the URL is incredibly convenient because I just give the URL and Anima makes it. I have a great experience using Anima, and it is better than other platforms for making designs with accuracy. The initial setup was very easy, too. Overall, I'd rate my likelihood of recommending Anima at a 9, indicating that I will definitely recommend it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anima?

It doesn't build (clone) the pages of the website provided the URL. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Excellent Output with Minor Iteration Hiccups"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Anima?

I like Anima because it provides exactly the output I want, it's excellent in giving a 100% accurate output for website image to web conversion. I am also an AI engineer, and I appreciate this. The initial setup was very good, making it straightforward to start using the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anima?

The iteration process should be improved. In the first iteration, it is good, but I want it to be better, and instead, it becomes worse in the next iteration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fantastic Figma Integration and Design System Capabilities"
5/5
What do you like best about Anima?

Pretty solid integration with Figma. The design system capabilities are also fantastic, and they make it easier to keep everything consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anima?

It’s very expensive, and it doesn’t let me start something on my computer and then import it into the app. It feels like they want to keep tight control of the environment, but the restrictions are simply too tight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Goo enough for generating desktop sites, but mobile is a challenge"
2.5/5
What do you like best about Anima?

I tried generating a popular Figma product page template with Anima, using its defaults (React, Shadcdn, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS). The desktop code generation was impressive. It got most of it right, save for a few alignment issues (very minor though). The speed at which it generated the entire page was mind-blowing. I can see getting started with building prototypes much quicker with it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anima?

The mobile responsiveness is a pain. Everything was all over the place. From having to make the site fully responsive is challenging and adds way more work than you save on the initial front loading. If I want to show a fully responsive prototype to my client/stakeholders, that's a no-go. It's OK as a niche self-tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Website Prototyping from Figma, No Coding Needed"
5/5
What do you like best about Anima?

I could easily go from my figma file to a website prototype, without coding. It helps me build my websites and communicate my projects. It is easy to implement the projects, and the features are plenty. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anima?

UI is sometimes not easy to navigate, and when code failed to compile, and preview was unavailable, somehow fixing the issues ignored my last prompt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"We create effective codes and it works well with design tools"
5/5
What do you like best about Anima?

Sometimes there was a misunderstanding between our designers and engineers, and it took hours-even days-to translate the designs into code. The process was laborious and characterized by some errors. Now it only takes a few minutes to export our design to Anima, and generates a clean code that is ready to be used. Surprisingly, the resulting code is clean, semantic and optimized for search engine optimization (SEO). I can’t stop mentioning how easy it is to build modern applications thanks to the integration with other tools like React and Vue.js. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anima?

Creating some components that can be used again and again can be a challenge. We spent a little time learning how to use them correctly, but after that things were much simpler. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick, Easy, and Free (except for some kinda important things)"
4/5
What do you like best about Anima?

As a student, finding a simple website builder that I can easily/quickly understand and build quickly (and freely) are the most important factor to me and Anima has been capable of meeting my needs. Setting up Anima to work with Figma is smooth and easy with the program taking you everywhere you need to go and you only need to accept a couple of connections between Figma and Anima. I mention this specifically because I had tried 4 other website publishing extensions in Figma, with all of them getting stuck at some point when connecting with Figma, not even allowing me to properly connect the two, so seeing Anima work its magic was such a wave of relief.

The customization options included are so unbelievably easy to use as well. To be honest, I was a little shocked that a couple of features in Anima, like having a button expand as you hover over it, had no way to be replicated in the basic Figma application, so picking up the Anima picking up Figmas slack is greatly appreciated.

Installing those customization options was so easy as well. Coming from frustration from other, more mainline website builders god awful glitch-riddled interfaces had me a bit worried that I would have spent an entire night messing with all the buttons just so they could expand smoothly without getting in the way of anything but it was just the click of a button, allowing me to get it done in less than an hour.

Customer service, while not 24/7, while they are on is quick, nice, professional, and helpful. One feature they have with their customer support that I have not seen many others do is having an ETA for when they will be back to help you, allowing more ease for you to shift your focus on other problems until they return.

What do you dislike about Anima?

One of the more frustrating parts about Anima is communicating what is included in the free version, and what is locked behind a paywall. The payment options give you a general overview of what you can expect to unlock by upgrading but they do not give you the full list, one of the things on those lists being that you cannot update the live site more than once while only using the free version, and that was not communicated to me.

"Quite smooth once you get the idea how it works"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Anima?

Can add media, text interactive feature, easy responsiveness and easy code access Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Anima?

When you prototype, the preview is only visible when we run it through the plugin and not through figma. I want to see the edis through figma preview as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

4/5
What do you like best about Anima?

I like that it offers elements that can be transported to code immediately. its also very easy to use and implement things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
