Why should I use Lottie?

Lottie is a lightweight animation format that makes digital experiences feel smooth, fast, and modern. Here’s why it’s worth using in your projects:

Smaller files, faster loading

Lottie animations are vector-based and up to 600% smaller than GIFs or PNG sequences. They load quickly without compromising quality, which helps your apps or sites perform better.

Always looks sharp

Because they’re vector-based, Lottie animations stay crisp on any screen size or resolution. Whether it’s a phone or a large monitor, your animations will always look clean and clear.

Works across all platforms

Use the same Lottie file on iOS, Android, web, and React Native. There’s no need to recreate animations for each platform, which saves time and keeps everything consistent.

Easy to customize and interact with

You can adjust colors, speed, or layer properties without editing the original file. Lottie also supports interactive animations that respond to clicks, scrolling, or other actions.

Open-source and widely supported

Lottie is open-source and has a strong global community. It’s easy to use with plugins for tools like Figma and After Effects, plus documentation and support from platforms like LottieFiles.

Better user experiences

Animations can guide users, add delight, and make interfaces more intuitive. Lottie helps you add motion that improves usability and keeps people engaged.

Built for modern workflows

Lottie fits into design and development processes easily. You can work with:

• Figma or After Effects to design and export
• LottieFiles to preview and test
• Code libraries for web, iOS, Android, Flutter, and more

Lottie makes it easier to bring high-quality motion into your work. It’s fast, flexible, and ready to use across platforms, so you can create polished animations without slowing things down.
