    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is a Lottie animation?

    Lottie is a mobile library that parses Adobe After Effects animations exported as JSON with Bodymovin and renders them natively. It's lightweight, scalable, and perfect for web and mobile applications.

    Why optimize Lottie animations?

    Optimized animations load faster, consume less bandwidth, and provide better user experience. Optimization can reduce file size by 30-80% without visible quality loss.

    What's the difference between JSON, GIF, and SVG formats?

    JSON is best for web/mobile apps (lightweight, scalable). GIF is ideal for social media and sharing (universal support, easy to use). SVG is perfect for scalable vector graphics (crisp at any size, smallest file size for simple animations).

    Can I use downloaded animations commercially?

    It depends on the license. LottieFiles provides animations under various licenses including Creative Commons and Premium. Always check the license before using commercially.

    How do I integrate animations into my project?

    For web: use Lottie Web library or simply embed GIF/MP4. For mobile: use Lottie React Native or native Lottie libraries. For no-code: many page builders have native Lottie support.
