It opens as shapes, groups and keys you can change. Expressions, masks, mattes, effects and text layers are left out, and the page says which.

How it works and help

A little help along the way

Follow these steps. Every option is explained underneath. Everything happens in your browser; nothing you draw or bring in is sent anywhere.

  1. Say what you want to makeChoose a moving logo or icon, a loading animation or an animated icon to open a small animation that already moves, ready to change. Open a file takes an SVG, a picture or a project you saved before; you can also drop an SVG on the page.
  2. DrawDraw rectangles, ellipses, polygons, stars and triangles, paths with the pen, and strokes with the pencil and brush. Fill closed areas with the bucket, join or cut shapes with the Shape Builder, and write words in the site's fonts.
  3. Animate with keysA key says what a part is like at one moment: its position, turn, size, opacity or colours. Set a key at one time and another later, and every frame between them is worked out for you.
  4. Choose the easingEach key says how the movement goes on to the next: Steady, Jump, Smooth, Speed up, Slow down, Speed up, slow down, Overshoot or Spring, or a curve of your own in the graph editor.
  5. Play itPlay the timeline to watch it. It can loop, play once or play there and back, and a work area plays only the part you are working on.
  6. Export itSay where it will go: social media or a video makes an MP4, a chat or an email a GIF, a website or an app an animated WebP with a clear background, and a still picture a PNG or SVG of one frame. Each file is checked before it is offered.

Questions people ask

What can I change in a Lottie here?
Its shapes, groups, paths, colours, gradients and keys, with the Animation maker's own tools and timeline. Every change can be undone, and Export is already set to Lottie.
What does the editor leave out?
Expressions, masks, mattes, effects, text layers, trim paths, repeaters, merge paths, rounded corners, 3D layers and time remapping. When a file uses any of them, the page says which were left out.
Can I just play a Lottie without changing it?
Yes. Open it in the Lottie viewer instead, which plays the file exactly as it is, with everything it uses, and can change its colours without touching anything else.

This page is the Animation maker, opened for this one job; every other tool it has is one press away. Each of its settings is explained on the Animation maker's own page.
