LottieFiles Pros and Cons

LottieFiles has become an absolute must-have tool in my web and mobile design and development toolkit. As a professional designer, I can't emphasize enough how this platform has transformed the way I work with animations. It's really easy to integrate it with design tools and implement in your daily routine. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

If you're new to animation, there may be a slight learning curve in understanding how to create complex animations. However, the platform's extensive documentation and community support make this process smoother. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Amazing platform for designers to create and share animations and can be easily implemented on the web. The best part is that you don't need to have any coding experience to create and implement your animations. I can either create my own animations in After effects and import them into Lottiefiles, or choose one from their vast library of premade animations and further edit them using Lottie Editor. LottieFiles exports animations in lightweight JSON files, which can be easily supported by most of the modern browsers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The GIF format support might need some improvement. Whenever I try to export with a transparent background, the edges turn out rough and the animation isn't very smooth either. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The free library of crowd souced animations from talented animators. You can also purchase the premium animations if you wish. Lottie even has a LottieFiles Plugin for Adobe After Effects, making this a very creative and solid platform for creators and users alike.

I love that I can embed the animation or add it to my Wordpress site with the LottieFiles for WordPress plugin. I can also customize it to the colour scheme I want, and slow it down or speed it up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There is nothing to dislike at the moment, LottieFiles is a very solid platform and it's going in the right direction. They also have paid tiers which are for the more serious professional user. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lottie Files animations are resolution-independent, meaning they can be scaled up or down without losing quality. This flexibility allows them to adapt to different screen sizes and resolutions, ensuring consistent visual experiences across devices. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lottie Files animations are created in design tools like After Effects, where you have control over the timing and sequencing of elements. However, when using Lottie Files in development, the animation playback is controlled programmatically, and fine-grained control over individual elements' timing may be limited.

Animations in Lottie are vector-based and highly optimized. Compared to traditional video or GIF animations, they load faster and consume less bandwidth. Lottie animations can also be scaled without losing quality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Even though LottieFiles allows customization of animations to some extent, it may not offer the same level of flexibility as tools like Adobe After Effects. If you require a highly specific or complex animation, pre-designed animations may not be able to meet your needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
