SVG to Lottie

Open an SVG as shapes you can move, give them keys and save the animation as a Lottie JSON for an app or a website. Free, with no account or uploads.

Groups, shapes, paths, gradients and simple styles come in; filters, masks, clip paths and SVG animation are left out and counted. Give it keys to make it move.

Drop an SVG to make it a Lottie

Its shapes, colours and gradients become parts you can move.

  • SVG

Stays on your device. Nothing is uploaded.

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 parts of an SVG come in?
Groups, shapes, paths, gradients and simple styles. Filters, masks, clip paths, patterns, markers and SVG animation are left out, and the page counts what was left out.
Why does my Lottie not move?
An SVG is a still picture, so it comes in still. Give its parts keys on the timeline for their position, turn, size, opacity or colours, then export it.
How do I save it as a Lottie?
Export is already set to a Lottie JSON. It is checked against the Lottie schema and played back by ThorVG before it is offered.
