Platform for creating, editing, sharing, and implementing Lottie animations — the lightweight JSON-based animation format used by apps like WhatsApp, Airbnb, and Duolingo.
LottieFiles is the home of the Lottie format — JSON-based vector animation files that render at any size, look crisp on retina screens, and weigh much less than equivalent video. The platform is part marketplace (free and premium animations), part toolkit (After Effects plugin to export, web editor, and SDK for embedding into apps).
Designers create animations in After Effects and export to Lottie JSON via the Bodymovin plugin. Developers embed via the Lottie web component, React Native package, iOS or Android SDK. The marketplace hosts hundreds of thousands of free animations plus a premium library. Pro users get team libraries, version history, and the editor for customising existing animations without re-opening After Effects.
Three tiers as of 2026: Free (limited team library), Pro at $19.99/month for individuals, and Teams at $35/user/month. Marketplace premium animations are sold separately as one-off purchases. Enterprise plans add SSO and admin controls.
The free plan is enough for most personal projects and small product teams. Teams plan unlocks shared libraries and approval workflows.
| Tool | Starting price | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| LottieFiles | Free / $19.99 | Vector animation for web/apps |
| Rive | Free / $19/mo | Interactive vector animations |
| After Effects | £21.10/mo | Full motion graphics |
| SVGator | Free / $18/mo | SVG animation, simpler workflow |
Pick LottieFiles if your team adds motion to web pages, mobile apps, or design systems regularly, and you want a shared library plus an editor that does not require After Effects. Skip it if you only need static icons (use Iconify) or you are doing full video work (use After Effects directly).
