Where do I get Lottie animation files?

LottieFiles.com is the largest marketplace with thousands of free animations. You can also export from After Effects using the Bodymovin plugin, or create them in tools like Haiku, Flow, and Rive. The Lottie Player accepts any valid Lottie JSON file.

Do Lottie animations work in all browsers?

Yes. The lottie-web renderer supports all modern browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge). It renders animations using SVG, Canvas, or HTML depending on the renderer option. SVG is the default and provides the best quality.

How do I reduce Lottie file size?

Simplify paths in After Effects before exporting. Remove unused layers. Avoid raster images embedded in the animation (these inflate the JSON dramatically). Use the Lottie optimizer at LottieFiles to strip metadata. Most well-made Lottie files are naturally under 50 KB.
