About Anima
Anima is a commercial platform that bridges design and code. It takes input from Figma files, existing website URLs, images or plain-text prompts and generates working front-end apps, aimed at product teams building directly and at coding platforms that plug it in through an API.
Beyond Figma-to-code export for React and HTML, the product includes an AI website builder, a cloning feature that imports several pages of a live site into one editable app with routes already connected, and ways to stay on brand by importing design system components or a Design.md file. An MCP server and a Figma agent called Buddy are also offered.
Anima is a hosted commercial service with a login and a pricing page, and the vendor says its technology powers Bolt.new and Replit. It suits designers and developers who want to begin from existing design assets rather than from an empty prompt.
