LottieFiles

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.

There is a free version, confirmed on the pricing page. Paid plans are $19.99 per user a month billed annually with 300 AI credits, $24.99 with 600, and $119.99 at the team tier. The credits are for the generative features rather than for using the library, which is the distinction that makes the cheaper tiers viable if you are mostly consuming existing animations. Because the annual rates are the ones displayed, monthly billing costs more, and members added to a workspace are billed individually.

Product and web teams putting motion into an interface, and designers who need what they made to survive the trip to production. The format is the reason: a Lottie stays sharp and small where a GIF does neither. Somebody making motion graphics for video output should look at a motion tool instead, because this exists for animations that ship inside software.
