Designers create beautiful animations in After Effects, and developers spend days reproducing them in code. <strong>Lottie</strong> eliminates this gap entirely by rendering After Effects animations natively using JSON exports.</p> <p>Originally created by Airbnb and later maintained by the community through LottieFiles, Lottie has become the industry standard for cross-platform animation delivery. The web version, Lottie-web, renders animations as SVG, Canvas, or HTML elements, producing crisp, scalable results that match the designer&rsquo;s intent exactly.</p> <p>The workflow is straightforward: a designer creates an animation in After Effects, exports it as a JSON file using the free Bodymovin plugin, and a developer loads that JSON into Lottie with a few lines of code. The animation is resolution-independent, can be controlled programmatically, and has a file size typically measured in kilobytes rather than the megabytes of a GIF or video.</p>
