Once you are satisfied with your settings, click on “Export” at the bottom right of the window.

The next step is to upload your newly created GIF into whatever platform or medium it will be used for. Depending on where you are uploading it, there may be additional steps such as resizing or optimization that need to be done before it can be used.

In conclusion, saving a Figma GIF is quite simple and straightforward. All that needs to be done is selecting your frames for export from the timeline window, adjusting any necessary settings under “Export” in the toolbar, selecting “GIF” as your format and choosing an appropriate size before clicking export. Finally upload your saved GIF into whatever platform or medium it will be used for and any additional steps such as resizing or optimization can then take place if needed.
