What is Lottie?

Lottie is a JSON-based format for vector animation — small, scalable, and rendered natively on web and mobile. Exported from design tools, a Lottie plays crisp motion (an animated logo, icon, or loader) at any size without the file weight of a video.

In depth

Understanding lottie

A Lottie file describes an animation as vector data — shapes, keyframes, transforms — rather than a grid of pixels per frame. A tiny player draws it live, so it stays sharp at any resolution and weighs a fraction of an equivalent GIF or MP4.

That makes it ideal for interface motion and brand loops: animated logos, icon transitions, loading states, and stickers that look perfect on any screen.

It pairs with editable vectors — the same resolution-independent, own-the-source philosophy, extended into motion.
