LottieFiles
Lottie animations, from library to production
LottieFiles is everything that grew around a file format: a library of ready animations, tools to edit and optimise them, and the players that put them into a site or an app. A Lottie is vector, so it scales and stays small, which is why it ended up in most modern interfaces rather than a GIF. Designers hand off to developers here without a video file in between. It is not where the animation gets made from scratch.
Our note
Most people need the free tier and a player, not a subscription, so start there and only pay when the editing or the private hosting becomes the blocker. The paid plans are aimed at teams producing animations rather than at people using them.
Vectary
3D and AR design that runs in a browser
Vectary puts 3D modelling in a browser tab, which is the difference between trying it and not. Models can be shared as a link, embedded in a page or placed in a room through a phone camera with no app in the way. Designers use it for product shots and interactive scenes that would otherwise mean learning heavier software. Anybody doing character work or simulation is in the wrong place.
