    LottieFiles’ technology enables motion design on every website, every app and digital screen by making it easy to design with motion. Motion evokes emotion, raises the aesthetic look and feel, and engages users. LottieFiles is a motion design platform and community that makes it easy to discover, create and implement Lottie animations — democratizing motion design for designers and developers. 

    LottieFiles provides the tools needed to edit, test and display Lotties. The majority of today’s most downloaded apps, popular websites and platforms now use the open source, vector-based file format - Lottie - a JSON-based animation file format that enables designers and developers to ship animations on any platform as easily as shipping static assets. 

    ​​Lotties are small files that work on any device and can scale up or down without pixelation — allowing designers to create app onboarding and in-app animations, reactions, infographics, social media assets, animated icons, stickers, gaming assets, GIF icons and more. A Lottie is 600% smaller than a GIF file and plays at 120 frames per second and can easily be edited at run time. Almost anything that moves on any of the top 500 apps on Apple’s App Store is now a Lottie animation. 

    LottieFiles also has integrations with the most popular design tools, such as Adobe XD, Adobe After Effects, Figma, Webflow, Wordpress, and more. LottieFiles is the go-to platform for exporting a Lottie from Adobe After Effects before it makes its way to a platform, app, website or social media.

    LottieFiles aims to streamline the animation workflow and create a new realm of possibilities with Lottie animations across media, marketing, platforms and gaming for its users worldwide. 

    LottieFiles’ roots and ethos were built from their years running a space where designers and developers from around the world could congregate and share and implement motion assets. The space started by LottieFiles’ founders has developed into a business — but the commitment to become the largest design and developer ecosystem remains.
