Lottie to GIF & MP4 Converter
Upload a Lottie JSON file, watch it play in a live preview and export it as MP4, WebM or an animated GIF to send to a client or drop into a presentation. Choose the output width and background color, and the tool renders every frame locally with a built-in canvas renderer. It supports shape, solid and precomposition layers, keyframe easing, parenting, fills and strokes, and warns you when a file uses features it skips.

Why convert Lottie to video
Lottie animations are ideal in apps and websites because they are tiny and resolution independent, but many places cannot play them: email clients, slide decks, messaging apps, social posts and client review tools. Exporting a short MP4 or GIF gives designers a quick way to share a motion preview without asking anyone to install a player.
Getting the best result
Export at the size you will actually display, since a larger canvas increases file size and render time. Keep GIFs short and small; a 480 pixel wide GIF of a few seconds is usually plenty. If the preview looks different from your design tool, check the warning banner for unsupported features and simplify those parts before exporting.
Frequently asked questions
Does it support every Lottie feature?
No. The built-in renderer covers common flat vector animations: shape, solid and precomposition layers, rectangles, ellipses, bezier paths, fills, strokes, transforms, parenting and keyframe easing. Gradients, masks, track mattes, trim paths, repeaters, text and images are skipped, and the tool tells you when your file uses them so you can verify the output.
Can I export with a transparent background?
Not in this version. MP4 and WebM are exported on a solid background color of your choice, and GIF frames are flattened onto that same color as well.
Which format should I choose?
Use MP4 for the best quality and smallest size when sharing with clients or embedding in slides. Use GIF when you need a file that autoplays anywhere, such as email or chat. GIFs are larger and limited to 256 colors per frame.
Is my animation uploaded anywhere?
No. Parsing, rendering and encoding all happen in your browser, so unreleased brand assets stay on your device. MP4 and WebM export needs a browser with WebCodecs support, such as current Chrome, Edge or Safari.
