LottieFiles is where designers find, preview, and hand off Lottie animations, with an After Effects plugin for export, a web editor for trimming and recolouring, and players for web and mobile. Teams use it as the shared library where finished animations live and get approved. It solves the handoff problem more than the animation problem, since the animation itself still gets made in After Effects or Figma.
Who it is for
Design teams handing animation to developers without shipping a video file.
Key features
- After Effects and Figma export plugins
- Web player and mobile SDKs
- Editor for trimming and recolouring
- Hosted CDN links for animations
- Shared team libraries
Where it falls short
The free tier limits private files and hosted CDN traffic, and the marketplace is full of near-duplicate assets, so finding something original enough to ship takes patience.
Pricing
Free for public animations with caps on private files; paid tiers add private storage, CDN traffic, and team seats.
Prices move; the tier structure is the part that stays true. Check current pricing on LottieFiles.
