Lottie Creator, the browser-based animation editor
Lottie animation platform: a free and premium animation library, the Lottie Creator web editor and plugins for Figma and After Effects
LottieFiles has a free plan. Prices in US dollars as LottieFiles's pricing page showed them on 11 October 2026.
LottieFiles is a platform for making, finding and shipping Lottie animations, the small vector animation files used in apps and websites. It suits product designers, motion designers and developers who want lightweight motion. The free plan includes Lottie Creator and the free library, with tight download limits; paid plans start at $19.99 a month per user, billed annually. Students and educators in the UK can apply for a free annual Education Plan.
A web-based animation editor for creating Lottie and dotLottie files without After Effects. It has a keyframe timeline, graph editor, masks, parenting, motion paths and SVG import, and exports to Lottie JSON, dotLottie, MP4, WebM, MOV and GIF.
Motion Copilot turns a written prompt into an editable animation with keyframes and shapes. Prompt to Vector makes vector graphics from text, and Raster to Vector converts images in the Figma plugin; paid plans include monthly AI credits.
Lottie Creator can link animations with transitions triggered by clicks, hovers, data or events. Motion tokens expose text, colours and positions as variables, so one dotLottie file can change at runtime without separate versions.
LottieFiles says it hosts over 800,000 free and premium ready-to-use animations. Paid plans include the premium library of more than 600,000 animations, and free animations can be recoloured and edited.
Plugins for Figma and Adobe After Effects create Lottie animations and save them to a LottieFiles workspace. Apps for Canva, Webflow and Framer let teams add their animations inside those tools.
Animations can be optimised to smaller dotLottie files, hosted on the LottieFiles CDN and embedded with asset links. Open-source dotLottie players cover the web, iOS, Android and Flutter.
Team plans add shared files, version history, frame-by-frame comments, review statuses and roles. The asset manager previews Lottie, dotLottie, After Effects, Illustrator, Photoshop and common image files.

“My #1 choice any time I need an animation for personal or professional use. The UI can be a bit confusing at times when trying to editing/modifying animations”
“Lottie Files is definitely the best platform for (Web)Animations out there.”
“Terrible pricing transparency, they advertise a monthly option but its actually billed yearly”
LottieFiles is a home for Lottie animations: a library of ready-made animations, a browser editor called Lottie Creator, plugins for design tools and a private workspace for teams. It is aimed at product designers, motion designers and the developers who put animation into apps and websites.
A Lottie file is a vector animation stored as JSON, and dotLottie is a compressed version of it. LottieFiles says its optimised dotLottie and JSON files can be up to 80% smaller, and it publishes open-source players for the web, iOS, Android and Flutter. The company says more than 16 million designers and developers use it.
The free plan costs nothing, and the paid plans are priced in US dollars per user a month, billed annually. There is no pound price and the pricing page doesn't mention VAT.
Because every plan is billed for a year up front, an Individual plan costs about $240 at checkout rather than $19.99. Several Trustpilot reviewers say they expected a monthly charge and were billed for the year.
For trying Lottie Creator and testing animations, yes; for regular downloading, probably not. The help centre says a free workspace can download up to 5 public animations and upload up to 5 private files, and those limits count every upload over time, so deleting files doesn't free up space.
Files made in Lottie Creator don't count towards the private file limit, so the editor itself can be used without a cap. Free users can also publish unlimited animations to the public library through the After Effects and Figma plugins. Previewing, testing and sharing animations stay free.
LottieFiles is the better choice when the job is 2D vector motion for apps and websites, especially if animations start in After Effects or Figma. Spline is built for interactive 3D scenes, and Rive uses its own file format and runtime for interactive 2D graphics with state machines.
LottieFiles has added its own state machines, motion tokens and multi-animation dotLottie files in Lottie Creator, so it now covers some of the interactive work Rive is known for. Teams building whole marketing sites may prefer Framer, which can play Lottie files through the LottieFiles integration.
It is worth paying for when a team ships animation regularly and wants the premium library, CDN hosting, version history and comments in one place. A solo designer who only needs the occasional free animation may manage on the free plan.
Reviewers on Product Hunt most often praise the size of the animation library and how quickly animations move from Figma or After Effects into a product. The complaints on Trustpilot are mostly about billing: annual-only plans, the cancellation flow and download limits that surprise people expecting free files. Several Trustpilot reviewers also say support answered quickly and sorted out accidental charges.
The main way to pay less is the free Education Plan, if you qualify. LottieFiles offers it to students and educators over 13 at educational institutions in the UK and 15 other countries, and it upgrades one workspace for a year.
The Education Plan leaves out premium animations and the file optimiser, and it is for personal and educational use only, so client and company work need a paid plan. Outside that, the cheapest route is to stay on the free plan and build animations in Lottie Creator, which has no file limit, and to choose Individual rather than Team when only one person edits.

The pricing page shows every paid plan as a price per user a month, billed annually, and doesn't offer a monthly billing option. The Terms of Sale describe an annual membership that renews automatically.
You can cancel from your account or by emailing [email protected], and the plan stays active until the end of the term. The Terms of Sale say fees are non-refundable except where the law requires, with no prorated refund for cancelling early.
The pricing page lists prices in US dollars and doesn't mention VAT. The Terms of Sale say fees are payable together with any applicable taxes, so the checkout total can be higher than the headline price.
LottieFiles and Lottie Creator run in a web browser, and there are LottieFiles apps for iPhone, iPad and Android plus a desktop app for previewing files. Plugins add it to Figma, After Effects, Canva, Webflow and Framer.
No. The help centre says files created and saved in Lottie Creator don't count towards the 5 private file limit, so free users can save as many as they like.
No. LottieFiles says the Education Plan is strictly for personal and educational use, and commercial work such as adverts, paid client projects and corporate communications needs a Team or Enterprise plan.
