Why use Lottielab?

Lottielab is a modern, collaborative, web based animation tool that lets you create videos, GIFs, Telegram stickers and Lottie animations online.

Lottielab excels at vector based motion graphics, with strong support for Text and vector graphics. Something that might take you hours in After Effects, can be done in minutes in Lottielab.

There is a free tier of Lottielab available to help you get started, and you can share your work with colleagues and clients for free, unlike After Effects which requires you to buy a license to even download the tool.

Share work easily

No more long handoff processes. Share your work with colleagues and clients for free by just sending them a link. Restrict access to specific people, or make your work public to the world. Let your team edit your work in real time, or assign view only permissions to protect your designs.

Lottielab runs on every platform, meaning you don't need to worry about compatibility issues when sharing your work.

Quick to learn

Designed to be super easy to use, Lottielab requires no prior experience with animation software. You can start creating animations from scratch in minutes, or use a premade template to save you time.

If you have existing assets, Lottielab lets you import them with ease. Import existing work from After Effects, Figma, Illustrator, and more.

Fast, like really fast

Built for speed, editing with Lottielab is like a cheat code. No more laggy UI, or slow previews, see your changes as soon as you make them.

Templates let you get started straight away, and preset animations and transitions are available to save you the tedium of repeatedly applying the same animation over and over again.

Keyboard shortcuts make power users feel right at home. And small touches like snapping, smart properties, and automatic keyframe placement let you work faster than ever. When using Lottielab you can 10x your output and create complex animations with ease.

Lottie out the box

As well as HD and 4K video export, Lottielab also has unbeaten support for importing and exporting Lottie animations. If you are already using After Effects and Bodymovin to create Lottie animations, you can import them into Lottielab and continue working on them.

Or you can create them from scratch inside the Lottielab editor. Say goodbye to unreliable exports, every animation made in Lottielab looks exactly the same once exported to Lottie.

Lottielab is super easy to use, making it trivial to start shipping exceptional animations to apps and websites. Whether for yourself or a client, Lottielab is the perfect tool for web animation.
