Lottie AI

Key facts: Lottie AI launched on Product Hunt in November 2026, as the AI layer of LottieFiles. Motion generated as editable vector animation, built with builders in mind: describe the motion in plain language and Motion Copilot builds real layers, shapes, colours and keyframes on the canvas, which you can recolour, restyle and resize without regenerating. Prompt to Vector turns text into a vector graphic you can animate, and AI Theming re-colours a whole animation. Export to dotLottie, JSON, GIF, video and more, with hover and click interactions from a simple prompt.

Plans: Free tier for trying the editor and exporting basic work, with limited exports. Individual $19.99 per user a month (billed annually, Lottie AI up to 60 generations, Motion Copilot up to 100 uses). Team $24.99 per user a month (Lottie AI up to 120 generations, Motion Copilot up to 200 uses). Top-ups at 20 cents a credit, in packs of 50 or 100.

Best for: Designers and developers who need small, fast animations for apps and websites. Who should skip it: anyone who wants full video animation, or who never ships UI motion.

Pros

• Animations stay editable vectors, not locked video, so you can restyle without regenerating
• Motion Copilot builds real layers and keyframes from a plain-language prompt
• Lottie files are tiny and load far faster than a GIF
• Free tier to try the editor and export basic work

Watch out for

• AI generations are capped per plan, and top-ups cost 20 cents a credit
• The free tier limits exports, so load-bearing work needs a paid plan
• Prompted motion still needs a designer's eye for timing and easing

Best for

Designers and developers who need small, fast animations for apps and websites. Who should skip it: anyone who wants full video animation, or a team that never ships UI motion.

Pricing

FAQs

What is Lottie AI? The AI layer of LottieFiles: describe an animation in plain language and it generates an editable vector animation (a Lottie file) you can recolour, restyle and resize without regenerating.

Is Lottie AI free? Yes, to try: the free tier covers unlimited preview, testing and sharing, with limited exports. Paid plans start at $19.99 a month.

What is a Lottie file? A JSON-based animation format: instead of storing every pixel like a GIF or MP4, it stores the recipe for drawing and moving vector shapes, so files stay tiny and scale to any resolution.

What can I export? Lottie JSON, dotLottie and optimised Lottie, plus GIF, MP4, MOV and WebM.
