Lottie Motion Animation

Lottie is an open-source animation library by Airbnb. Designers create animations in Adobe After Effects, export as JSON via the BodyMovin plugin, and developers embed the JSON in web/mobile apps. Lottie renders animations using JavaScript (web) or native code (mobile). Animations are lightweight (10-200KB JSON vs 5-50MB video), scale infinitely without quality loss, and respond to user interaction. Lottie is the standard for high-quality, performant micro-interactions in product design. Video animations are heavy and can't respond to interaction. CSS animations are limited. Lottie is the sweet spot: designer control, small file size, performant, interactive. Products using Lottie (Airbnb, Stripe, Facebook) have delightful micro-interactions that users notice and remember. Learning Lottie positions you to create premium product experiences. Designer + developer collaboration via Lottie is frictionless: export JSON, embed, done.
