Lottie maker

Make a Lottie animation by drawing shapes and giving them keys, starting from three bouncing dots, and save a Lottie JSON for an app or a website. Free, with no account or uploads.

Start from three bouncing dots, or draw your own. Export is set to a Lottie JSON, for an app or a website's code.

Make a Lottie animation

A .riv or a Lottie plays as it is; an SVG becomes shapes you can move; a picture is placed on the artboard; a 3D model opens in the 3D editor.

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 does the Lottie maker start with?
Three dots that bounce one after another, made of the editor's own shapes and keys. Change them, or take them away and draw your own; Export is set to a Lottie JSON.
How do I know the Lottie will play?
Before it is offered, the file is checked against the Lottie Animation Community's schema and played back by ThorVG, whose frames must match the editor's at five moments.
Are there things a Lottie made here cannot keep?
Yes, and the result says so. Words are written as their letters' outlines, since Lottie 1.0 has no text; soft edges are left out; and a timeline that plays there and back is written out as there and back.
