The product
LottieFiles is where you create, edit, test and ship Lottie animations, the JSON-based vector files used in apps and websites. The company says they stay small and sharp at any size, which is why they replace GIFs and video for interface motion.
The platform brings a large library of free and premium animations, a browser editor called Lottie Creator, and tools for sharing and handing off to developers.
Tools
Lottie Creator builds interactive animations in the browser and includes AI-based Motion Copilot, plus features such as state machines and motion tokens. Plugins bring LottieFiles into Figma, Adobe After Effects, Webflow and Canva.
For developers it publishes open-source players and a compressed dotLottie format, with hosting and CDN delivery on paid plans. There are also free tutorials and certifications.
Pricing
There's a free plan, plus paid Individual and Team plans priced per user and billed annually, and tailored plans for larger teams and enterprises. Prices are shown in US dollars on the pricing page, so check the final total, including any tax, at checkout.
Free accounts have limits on downloads and private uploads, so regular downloaders usually end up on a paid plan.
Who it suits
Product and motion designers, front-end developers and teams that ship animation regularly get the most from it. A solo designer who only needs the odd free animation may manage on the free plan.
The company says it is used by designers and developers worldwide, from freelancers to large organisations. Open-source players mean the animations you make aren't tied to one platform, which matters if your developers want control over how they run.
Saving
Live codes are listed on this page: copy one and enter it at checkout. Students and educators at eligible institutions, including in the UK, can apply for a free Education Plan, which is for personal and learning use rather than client work.
