LottieLab is a web-based animation editing tool built on Lottie technology, designed specifically for product teams to simplify the creation, editing, and deployment of Lottie animations. Users can import design assets, SVGs, or Lottie files from Figma via an intuitive interface, create animations from scratch, and export them to applications and websites with one click. Its core advantage is enabling high-quality, lightweight dynamic effects without writing code, while supporting real-time team collaboration and version management.
Core Features
Multi-source Asset Import
- Supports import of Figma, After Effects, SVG, and Lottie files, preserving details like gradients, masks, and vector paths.
- Provides millions of ready-made Lottie animation templates and asset libraries.
