👋🏼  Bye, static animations

We love moving animations. They're the waving doctors, bouncing cups, launching spaceships and other fun graphics on apps, websites, marketing posts and pitch decks.

The problem? They're a major pain to create and use— it can take weeks of coding! Why? Even if you want to use the same animation, you'd need to create different code for each platform.

‍

🪄  LottieFiles' solution

Turn the animations you create on your usual creation software into a Lottie file. Once it's exported as a Lottie, all the fun begins. (Kiss exporting to PNG and GIF goodbye!)

‍

😏  Why it matters

Cross-platform. Use Lotties on websites, iOS, Android, desktop apps and more — take your pick.

Preview and edit. No need to write any extra code! Their Lottie Preview and Lottie Editor make it quick to view your Lottie and tweak their text and colors.

Interactive and scalable. Make the Lottie as big as you want — it'll never pixellate. Oh, and you can make them interactive too!

Super small. Forget spending ages downloading your animation files that take up way too much storage space.

• They're 600% smaller than GIFs and 10x faster to ship.

‍

😎 How you can make lots of Lotties

Create and use Lotties across your creation, design and no-code software through plugins and integrations. Plus, they even have developer tools and libraries.

• Use Lotties with Adobe After Effects, Sketch, Flow, Adobe XD, Figma, Webflow, WordPress and more.

Can't code? They've got tons of free animations for you.
