LottieFiles
The future of animation and motion.
Overview
LottieFiles is a platform built around the Lottie animation format, a JSON-based file format that enables designers to ship animations on any platform as easily as shipping static assets. The platform provides tools for testing, optimizing, and collaborating on Lottie animations, as well as a massive library of free and premium animations that can be used in projects. It streamlines the workflow from Adobe After Effects to final implementation in apps and websites.
✨ Key Features
- Large library of free and premium Lottie animations
- Tools for testing and previewing animations on web and mobile
- Lottie optimization and file size reduction
- Private workspaces for team collaboration
- Plugins for Adobe After Effects, Figma, and other design tools
- Web player and libraries for easy implementation
🎯 Key Differentiators
- Built on the open-source Lottie format, leveraging the Adobe After Effects ecosystem
- Massive community and marketplace for pre-made animations
- Focus on workflow and collaboration between designers and developers
Unique Value: Dramatically simplifies the process of shipping high-quality, lightweight vector animations from After Effects to any digital product.
🎯 Use Cases (5)
✅ Best For
- Implementing animations in apps for major companies like Google, Airbnb, and Netflix
- Adding animated icons and loaders to websites
💡 Check With Vendor
Verify these considerations match your specific requirements:
- Creating the animations from scratch (requires After Effects)
- Long-form video content
- Complex, stateful character interactions (better suited for Rive)
🏆 Alternatives
Compared to Rive, Lottie is better for non-interactive, linear animations and leverages the power and familiarity of Adobe After Effects. It is far more performant and scalable than using GIFs or video files for UI animations.
