Lotiqlab is a free online Lottie editor and motion tool, mainly aimed at product teams for creating and editing Lottie animations in apps. All parsing, editing, and rendering are done locally in the browser, with no conversion server or upload queue, so exports are faster and files are private by default.
Main Capabilities
- Animation Generation: AI mode supports describing animations in natural language (such as a "bouncing loading spinner" or a "pulsing heart") to directly generate editable Lottie JSON, with rendering validation to ensure it can play.
- Editing and Adjustment: Move and delete layers on a Figma-style canvas, recolor, crop, and perform other operations without opening After Effects or the original source files.
- Batch Recoloring: Color Transformer can detect colors across all layers, support batch replacement, and provide real-time preview.
- AI Dark Mode Converter: Automatically maps an animation's palette to a dark theme to quickly obtain a dark variant, without manually recoloring layer by layer.
- Export: Supports exporting GIF, MP4, optimized JSON, dotLottie, as well as single-frame PNG, SVG, or JPEG (free up to 2x, Pro supports 4x).
How to Use
- No-Account Tools: The converter and viewer (Lottie to GIF, MP4, WebM, PNG, dotLottie, and viewer) run on standalone pages, require no account, have no watermark, and let you drag in a file to download the result.
- Free Account: The full editor (canvas, timeline, layers, watermark removal) and cloud file saving require a free account, which can be registered with Google or email. Files are saved in the cloud and can be edited from any device.
- Team Workspace: You can create shared team workspaces with separate file collections and invite members by email. Roles are divided into owner (manage members and files), editor (create and edit), and viewer (open and export but cannot modify). Files belong to the workspace rather than individuals, so animations are not taken away when members leave. There are no seat limits and no per-seat fees.
Use Cases
- Product teams create and edit Lottie animations for apps.
- Edit Lottie files, recolor, or export in multiple formats without After Effects.
- Quickly generate animation prototypes through text prompts.
- Team collaboration management and sharing of animation assets.
Pricing and Limitations
- The editor, converter, and standard exports are free and watermark-free.
- The Pro version ($10/month) adds high-resolution and long-duration exports, WebM, the optimizer, and additional workspaces.
- AI features consume credits, and new accounts receive 2 trial uses.
- Free exports are up to 2x resolution, while Pro supports 4x.
Lottie is a JSON-based animation format, usually exported from After Effects (via the Bodymovin plugin) or tools such as Figma and LottieLab. It describes vector animations as data, is small in size, can scale to any resolution, and plays natively on Web, iOS, and Android.
