The bridge between design and code for production-ready UI animations.

Haiku Animator, now largely transitioned to an open-source model via Haiku Core, represents a sophisticated technical bridge between static design assets and dynamic production code. Unlike traditional animation tools that export flat video files, Haiku treats animation as a declarative, component-based system. Its architecture allows designers to import assets from Figma, Sketch, or Adobe Illustrator and apply complex, timeline-based animations that translate directly into React, Vue, Angular, or native mobile code. As of 2026, it occupies a specialized niche in the market, serving teams that require high-fidelity interactive components within their design systems without the overhead of manual CSS/SVG reconstruction. The engine leverages a proprietary runtime that ensures cross-platform consistency, making it a powerful utility for maintaining design integrity from the prototyping phase through to the final build. Its shift towards open-source accessibility has made it a favorite for enterprise developers building bespoke design system tooling where Lottie's standard constraints might be too limiting.

Explore all tools that specialize in design-to-code translation. This domain focus ensures Haiku Animator delivers optimized results for this specific requirement.
Generates idiomatic wrappers for React, Vue, and Angular from a single animation source.
Allows users to write JavaScript expressions to drive animation properties based on external data inputs.
Maintains a live link between the design file and the code project, updating animations as design layers change.
Animations are treated as nestable components, allowing for complex hierarchical motion systems.
Full support for exporting to the Bodymovin/Lottie format for web and mobile runtimes.
Support for custom easing functions including spring physics and Bezier curves.
Advanced algorithms for interpolating between complex SVG paths.
Install the Haiku Animator desktop application or the CLI tool.
Connect your design source (Figma or Sketch) via API access tokens.
Import your static design layers into the Haiku Animator stage.
Use the Timeline editor to define keyframes for transforms, opacity, and custom properties.
Apply 'Expressions' (JavaScript-based logic) for dynamic, data-driven animations.
Define interactivity through built-in event handlers like onClick or onHover.
Preview the animation in real-time using the live-reloading browser preview.
Select your target framework (e.g., React) and export the code package.
Install the Haiku Core runtime library in your codebase via npm/yarn.
Import and render the animated component as a native part of your application UI.
