Lottielab - Create and ship lottie animations to sites and apps faster

Hey everyone, My name is Drew. I'm a designer and one of the co-founders of Lottielab. We're super excited to be launching Lottielab's beta to the public and would appreciate your support! Lottielab is the easiest way to create, manage and export Lottie animations to your websites and apps. 🖼️ Import and edit Lotties, SVGs, from Figma or start with templates/ examples 🎨 Create from scratch using the pen tool, shapes, masks and more 🪄Animate with a simple but powerful timeline, with keyframes, easing presets and more 📄 Export as Lottie, Gif or MP4 to any platform 🌐 Ship optimised animations to iOS, Android, the web or your favourite website builder such as Wordpress, Webflow, Framer, Squarespace etc 👥 Share files and folders with your team or collaborate realtime in the editor We see Lottielab as the natural extension of the tremendous work that Hernan Torrisi, Gabriel Peal (@gpeal8), Brandon Withrow and various Airbnb folks did with the Lottie file format, an open-source file format for rendering vector animations in websites and apps in a performant way. It is fast becoming an industry standard, being used by millions of designers and developers globally, and already in over 60% of the top 100 apps on the App Store. It also boasts the largest community and library of assets to help everyone get started quickly in UI animations. However, the main tool for editing and exporting Lottie animations today is Adobe After Effects, a 30-year-old visual effects tool that’s not fit for this purpose, has a steep learning curve, and requires a patchwork of error-prone plugins. I and @alistair_thomson founded Lottielab after observing first-hand the frustrations a lot of designers and other product professionals (including ourselves) have had with the complex string of tools needed to edit and manage Lotties, it can be quite the headache and limits access to the benefits Lottie has to offer. We are streamlining this cluttered process into a simple, seamleass, all-in-one workflow, with all the benefits of modern design tooling fit for today’s product development teams — being web-based, collaborative and easy to use — no After Effects knowledge needed. Over the past months of being in private beta, thousands of designers and developers have shared valuable insights and feedback with us - Real MVPs. This has helped us shape a product many already love, and are using to create and ship Lottie animations to their apps and sites faster than ever before. ⚡️ This is one of the first steps we are taking towards our mission of democratising motion design and storytelling for everyone, everywhere, and to make the web more delightful through animations. We're still in beta and are constantly improving, so we'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback and ideas, and hope we can build the animation tool for you Thanks and happy hunting! Drew Co-founder, Lottielab

I've been lucky enough to use this tool throughout its development, and I've been blown away by how accessible it makes creating your own animations. The game has changed. I cannot wait to see the incredible animations people make with it.

Love this app! Many usefull functionalities I've discovered for myself

In the world of mobile developers and designers, Lottie had always been the go-to repo. Now looking forward to using this even on websites :)

Happy to see Lottie moving forward with new things.

Congrats!

I can't wait to see what everyone creates with this 🎨 Congratulations team! Super proud of this launch 🚀

Great tool ! There's no X animated icon yet but I'm sure it won't take long to see it on the website.

Sounds great! My designers will be excited to get going :)

This looks fantastic!

Looking slick, guys. Excited to Lottie up a bunch of our 20VC assets :-)

Good luck with the tool

Wow for the video! Meticulous work! You’ve done incredibly well for a beta. Was it created in house?

Woooo - super excited for the launch @drewosophy, @alistair_thomson and the rest of the LottieLab team! Lotties are now easy to create, manage and export thanks to LottieLab! 🙌🏾

Hey everyone, I can’t wait to see what you all make with Lottielab!

 I’ve loved building this product, it’s been an intense process, and has taken so much iteration to get to this point. But I genuinely believe that what we’ve built is one of the best experiences a designer can have using a motion design tool. We’re regularly adding new features and fixing up issues, so if you encounter anything odd please let us know! Whether it’s a big issue, or a small stylistic bug-bear, please reach out, everyone on the team is super receptive to feedback.

just signed up! Looks super slick and will create some animations on my page soon!🎉 congrats on the launch

Hi guys! Previously used Photoshop and several video montage programs for the things, your service solves just by its own. Its looks really amazing! 🔥🔥🔥

Happy to see Lottie. Congrats on your launch.

Good luck with the tool. Congrats on your launch.

Woah, this is an interesting one
