LottieFiles

LottieFiles is a central platform in the Lottie ecosystem. Lottie is a JSON-based vector animation format (typically exported from After Effects) — small in size, infinitely scalable, and controllable from code. LottieFiles hosts a huge public animation library plus players, an online editor, and platform integrations — a natural place to look when you need ready-made lightweight motion.

1. Search by keyword (loading spinners, success checkmarks, empty-state illustrations), preview, then download JSON or export a GIF.
2. In web projects, load them via the official player or a framework wrapper (React and Vue both have one) and control playback from code.
3. Export your After Effects work with the Bodymovin plugin, then upload and manage it here.
4. Watch file size: the prettiest animation dies if it loads slowly.

• A massive public library — most everyday scenarios have a ready-made option
• JSON output is tiny and programmable (play, pause, change speed)
• A complete toolchain: players, an online editor, and After Effects/Figma integrations
• Browsing and basic use are free, with paid tiers for team features and advanced tools
