Frequently asked questions

What is a Lottie file?

A Lottie file is a JSON-based animation format exported from After Effects (via the Bodymovin plugin) or tools like Figma and LottieLab. It describes vector animations as data, so they stay tiny, scale to any resolution, and play natively on the web, iOS, and Android.

Is Lotiqlab really free?

Yes. Every feature and export format is free, with no watermarks and no trial limits. A free account keeps your files saved and available on any device. If it saves you time, you can support its development with an optional contribution.

Can I generate a Lottie animation from text?

Yes. Lotiqlab's AI mode generates Lottie animations from a text prompt. Describe what you want, such as 'a bouncing loading spinner' or 'a pulsing heart', and it authors an editable Lottie you can preview, refine, and export. No timeline or After Effects needed.

How does Lotiqlab's AI Lottie generator work?

You describe the animation in plain language and Lotiqlab's AI authors the Lottie JSON directly, then renders and verifies it so the result actually plays. The generated animation opens in the editor, where you can recolor it, adjust layers, and export to GIF, MP4, JSON, or dotLottie.

Do I need an account to use Lotiqlab?

It depends what you're doing. The converter and viewer tools — Lottie to GIF, MP4, WebM, PNG and dotLottie, plus the viewer and the optimizer — run entirely on their own page with no account, no limit and no watermark: drop a file in and download the result. A free account is needed for the full editor (canvas, timeline, layers, watermark removal) and for saving files to the cloud, so a project you start on a laptop is waiting on any other device. Sign up with Google or an email address; there is no paid tier.

Can I use Lotiqlab with my team?

Yes, and it costs nothing. Alongside your personal workspace you can create shared team workspaces, each with its own set of files, and invite people by email. Everyone gets a role: owners manage members and files, editors create and edit, and viewers can open and export but not change anything. Files live in the workspace rather than with one person, so a teammate leaving doesn't take the animations with them. There is no seat limit and no paid tier.

Are my animation files uploaded to a conversion server?

No. Every Lottie is parsed, edited, and rendered locally in your browser — there is no conversion server and no upload queue, which is why exports are instant. Files you save are stored privately: those in your personal workspace are visible only to you, and those in a team workspace only to the people you invited to it.

How do I change the colors of a Lottie animation?

Drop your .json file into Lotiqlab and open the Color Transformer. It detects every color used across all layers and lets you swap them in batch with a live preview. No After Effects needed.

Can I convert a Lottie animation to GIF or MP4?

Yes. Lotiqlab exports Lottie animations as GIF, MP4, optimized JSON, and dotLottie, plus single frames as PNG, SVG, or JPEG at up to 4x resolution. Rendering happens in your browser.

Can Lotiqlab convert my animation to dark mode?

Yes, and it's unique to Lotiqlab. The AI dark mode converter maps your animation's palette to a dark theme automatically, so you get a dark variant in seconds instead of recoloring layers by hand.

Do I need After Effects to edit a Lottie file?

No. Lotiqlab lets you edit Lottie files directly in the browser: move and delete layers on a Figma-style canvas, recolor, crop, and export, all without opening After Effects or the original source file.
