Animation

A Lottie, as a video.

Convert a Lottie to an MP4 in your browser, nothing uploaded and no watermark: ThorVG draws its frames on your device and they are written as a video.

Social posts, slides and video editors take an MP4 but not a Lottie. KeepSimp's Lottie to MP4 page plays your Lottie and writes it as a video in your browser, with nothing uploaded and no watermark.

Drop it and save an MP4.

Drop a Lottie JSON, a .lottie or a .tgs. It plays first, as it is. Export is already set to an MP4, which plays almost anywhere.

ThorVG draws each frame on your device, and the Animation converter's engine writes the video.

A video has no clear background.

An MP4 made here is solid behind the animation. If it must sit over something else, choose an animated WebP or an APNG, which keep a clear background.

Change it first.

To change its colours before you save it, use the Lottie colour editor. To change its shapes or timing, open it in the Lottie editor, whose Export makes an MP4 too.
