Lottie is a lightweight animated graphics format which on an average is over 600% smaller than a GIF (even when played at 60 fps). It is JSON-based animation file format that uses a textual, descriptive representation of the animation elements and movement towards a smaller file size and platform-independence, resolution independence and variable frame-rate during animation playback.
While LottieFiles gives animators and developers a place to share, showcase their animations and instantly test them across devices without writing a single line of code.
