Overview of LottieFiles

LottieFiles is a platform and ecosystem for the Lottie file format, a lightweight JSON-based approach to rendering vector animations in real time. Public market participants related to this trend include Airbnb, Inc. (ABNB), Adobe Inc. (ADBE). Named after animator Charlotte "Lotte" Reiniger, Lottie focuses on tiny, resolution-independent motion assets that speed up load times and simplify handoff between designers and developers. LottieFiles hosts a large library of ready-to-use animations, tools to create, edit, test, and collaborate, and integrations with popular design environments and builders, enabling designers to export animations from tools like Figma and After Effects directly into Lottie. The format is commonly used for UI motion, microinteractions, in-app animations, marketing assets, and social content, where small file size and cross-platform consistency matter. LottieFiles positions itself as a bridge between design and engineering, reducing development effort while making motion accessible to non-animators. The trend reflects broader demand for performant, scalable motion on web and mobile platforms and tighter toolchain integrations with design suites and app ecosystems, as seen in usage and integrations tied to companies such as Airbnb and Adobe.
