🎬Motion & AnimationAbout LottieFiles
Lottie is an animation format created by Airbnb that exports After Effects animations as JSON files that render natively on iOS, Android, and web with tiny file sizes. LottieFiles is the platform for creating, editing, sharing, and finding Lottie animations. The editor lets you change colors and adjust timing without After Effects. The marketplace has 300,000+ free animations. LottieFiles for Figma brings animations into design files. Compare to Rive (better for interactive animations), GIF (much larger file sizes). Best for: developers and designers who want lightweight, crisp animations for apps and websites.
