The best thing about this LottieFiles platform is that it's very easy to create, edit, manage and implement very lightweight animations for web, mobile and other digital products. I specifically like their extensive library of ready-to-use animations, browser-based editor, and other developer handoff tools, along with file optimisation and seamless integration with Figma, Adobe After Effects, Canva, webflow and other design platforms as well. This platform also supports hosting, CDN delivery, version history and other exports in multiple formats like GIF and MP4 formats. This platform also makes the collaboration between the developer and designer very effective and efficient, which improves the overall performance of this platform.

Their free plan has several limitations, and many collaboration, hosting and premium animation features require a paid subscription, which is hidden behind the higher tier plan. While that platform is very powerful, new users may need some time to understand animation workflows and also optimise files effectively. Hun teams with heavy animation requirements may need more AI credits, and their enterprise capability is limited to higher pricing tiers only. The pricing system should be more transparent in this aspect. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Preview different options, choose what fits best, and add polished motion to a project without having to create everything from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Plenty of options, but finding the right animation can sometimes take longer than expected. I’d also like a little more control to customize animations without having to switch to another tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how LottieFiles makes animation creation extremely easy, especially since animation used to feel like a trade-off for me. It allows me to seamlessly edit and animate my SVGs and then implement them onto the web. The best feature is definitely the ability to convert my animations into Lottie format and instantly use them in web or mobile applications, which I find extremely convenient. The files are also very lightweight, which is a big plus. Additionally, the initial setup was absolutely easy, making the whole process smooth, and I give it a 10 out of 10 for recommendation.

It's not perfect. It's very difficult for a normal person to develop complex app animations. They have not been able to translate complex animations really clearly into the audio format. Especially if you rely on the advanced after effects features. So if you're trying to push very customer highly dynamic animations, it might hit some limitations for you.

One aspect I appreciate is the presence of a community where users share their animated creations. You can not only upload your own work but also make use of animations shared by others for your own projects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The plugin for After Effects can be a bit buggy at times, but looking back, I can see that it has improved. The team is actively updating it and working hard to enhance the integration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

LottieFiles is different from its competitors in the simplest way of using it with functionality. The project is at its highest level in a very simple, intuitive interface where designers and developers can find, edit, and use animations easy enough. This is all very convenient with a great large collection of ready-to-use animations that can save time by loads when putting such animations into any project.

Moreover, Lottie animations are very light in weight so do not slow down a website or an application which is an important advantage when comparing with traditional GIFs or videos. Cross-platform compatibility is also one important advantage when using this feature for it can support cross-integration with iOS, Android, and web frameworks.

Although LottieFiles is an extremely powerful tool, like everything else, it too has its downsides. Advanced personalization can only be done sometimes, but one might rely on such software as Adobe After Effects for more complex animation - another step into the workflow.

Premium content and features are on a higher rate compared to competitors, which limits the individual or smaller team with a tight budget. The platform is nice, but the user can feel there is a curve of learning when he becomes a new user and unfamiliar with concepts about animation or JSON-based formats. In addition, the animations sometimes does not work on all platforms and browsers at times and even need some manual fine-tuning or debugging to perfect the works.

LottieFiles is fantastic because it makes animations lightweight, interactive, and easy to implement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Lottie animations are customizable, making extensive changes requires After Effects knowledge, and customizing directly through JSON can be complicated. If the animation wasn’t created with customization in mind, modifying it later can be challenging Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a motion graphics designer, lottie files has been a huge time saver for using premade motion graphics template and files that I can integrate right away in my projects without having to start from scratch. It also has an amazing customization tool that let's you tweak animations on website itself before exporting. A must have for video editors and motion graphics artists.

Designs are still populating on the website and in rare cases you would not find what you're looking for. It's no a deal killer though as the website is still growing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The extensive library of pre-built animations is fantastic. Whether you need subtle loading animations or eye-catching icons, LottieFiles has a wide array of options to choose from. Plus, the ability to customize these animations directly on the platform is a huge plus, making it easy to tailor them to fit my design needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customization Constraints: Although LottieFiles provides customization options, certain aspects of animations can feel limiting. Advanced users might find themselves wishing for more detailed control over animations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like best about LottieFiles is how effortlessly it bridges the gap between designers and developers. Its user-friendly interface makes it incredibly easy to customize and implement high-quality animations without compromising on performance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike is the limited customization options for certain pre-made animations. Although the library is vast, if you want to make highly specific changes, you often need to go back to After Effects or other design tools, which can slow down the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part is it allows to edit lottie even with free account so that if you have a minor change in your lottie you can make it and can share with the client for free Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There should be more options in the editor also sometimes when we compress the lottie the edges become blur Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
