Lottie Animations

Overview

Lottie is a library for rendering After Effects animations in real-time on web, iOS, Android, and React Native. Created by Airbnb, it allows designers to ship animations as easily as shipping static assets. Animations are exported from After Effects as JSON files using the Bodymovin plugin, then rendered natively with minimal performance overhead.

When to use Lottie:

Designer-created animations that need pixel-perfect fidelity

Complex animated icons and micro-interactions

Loading animations and progress indicators

Onboarding sequences and tutorial animations

Marketing animations and promotional content

Alternative to GIF/video with smaller file sizes and scalability
