LottieFiles

LottieFiles is a collaborative platform built around the Lottie animation format. It offers tools to preview, edit, optimize, and manage Lottie animations in the browser, as well as share them with teammates or developers. The platform supports visual editing, real-time previews across devices, and hosting options—streamlining the workflow from motion design to product integration.

What It Does Best

• Browser-Based Editing: Adjust color, speed, loop settings, and other animation properties without needing After Effects.

• Real-Time Preview: Instantly test how animations render on iOS, Android, or web with device-specific previews.

• Versioning & Collaboration: Share animations with teams, manage revisions, and host animations via CDN.

Who It’s For

• Designers & Motion Artists: Previewing and refining Lottie exports outside of After Effects.

• Developers: Accessing ready-to-integrate JSON animations and managing delivery through APIs or CDNs.

• Product & Marketing Teams: Collaborating on branded animations for apps, onboarding, and UI motion.

What Makes It Unique

LottieFiles provides an end-to-end workflow for working with Lottie—bridging design and development with tools for editing, managing, and delivering animations at scale. It removes the need for repeated exports and simplifies integration into mobile and web platforms.

Before You Start
