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, no account, and no trial limits. 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.

Are my animation files uploaded to a server?

No. Lotiqlab runs entirely in your browser. Your Lottie files are parsed, edited, and exported locally on your machine. Nothing is uploaded, so your work stays private.

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.
