Lottie AI pricing, free plan and limits
Text-to-Lottie generator that turns a prompt into an editable vector animation with its own control sliders; the free Starter plan gives 10 generations.
- Best for
- Product designer
- Not for
- Video editor needing photoreal footage
Should you use Lottie AI?
Choose it if you build apps and need loaders, empty states or onboarding motion without hand keyframing. Skip it if you want photoreal footage or frame-level control. Its edge is that tuning colors and timing after a generation costs no credit, but you need an account.
Each generation ships its own control panel, so recoloring or retiming does not cost another prompt.
LottieFiles owns the Lottie ecosystem and writes the animation language and compiler behind the output, but the files are open Lottie that other editors can open, which limits lock-in.
Also for
- Front-end developer
- Mobile developer
Show 3 more
- Product designers who need loaders, empty states and onboarding motion without a motion designer
- Front-end and mobile developers who work in AI coding tools and need animations in code
- Small product teams that already ship Lottie or dotLottie files
Also not for
- Motion designer needing frame-level control
Main trade-off
A small lifetime free allowance and an account requirement before the first generation.

Before you commit
- Lottie AI has its own plans and credits, separate from a LottieFiles plan, according to its FAQ.
- Starter's 10 generations are not described as refreshing monthly, unlike paid credits.
What Lottie AI does
Lottie AI is a text-to-Lottie generator from LottieFiles that turns a written prompt into an editable vector animation. Every result comes with sliders for color and motion, exports to dotLottie, Lottie JSON and native SwiftUI or Jetpack Compose code, and a free Starter plan includes 10 generations.
Prompt to editable Lottie
A written description returns a vector animation with named layers, real color values and timing curves instead of a flattened video.
Controls built for each animation
Every generation gets its own sliders for colors, looks and an energy dial, and Lottie AI says moving them never uses a credit.
Turbo and Quality modes
Turbo makes a single-pass animation in about a minute, while Quality runs a multi-agent pass that plans and critiques the scene.
Import your own artwork
Existing brand artwork in SVG, raster or Lottie JSON form can be animated, and a brand palette can be set before generating.
Show all 7 features
Hover and click interactions
The Product Hunt launch text says interactions can be added with a simple prompt, so one animation can respond to the user.
Code and file export
Download dotLottie, Lottie JSON, GIF, MP4, WebM or MOV, or copy native SwiftUI or Jetpack Compose code.
Versions and handoff
Go back to any earlier version, share an animation for others to remix, or open it in Lottie Creator for layer-level edits.

Strengths and limits
Strengths
- Recoloring and retiming use the generated controls, not another prompt, and Lottie AI says controls and no-change follow-ups use no credit, so one generation can be tuned freely (lottie.ai).
- The output is a vector Lottie that, per Lottie AI's FAQ, weighs kilobytes rather than megabytes.
- Lottie AI exports native SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose code as well as Lottie files (its FAQ), so an app team can pick either route.
- The Starter plan is free for life and includes 10 generations, so you can try several real ideas before paying.
Limits
- Starter lists a fixed set of generations on a plan marked free for life and, unlike the paid plans, does not say they refresh monthly, so a team evaluating it seriously should check how the allowance resets.
- Lottie AI's llms.txt says generating needs a LottieFiles account, so there is no anonymous try-it box.
- Lottie AI's FAQ says it is not for photoreal footage or audio; teams that need those must use a video model.
- Image import is new: a Lottie AI engineer wrote on the Product Hunt launch thread (read 11 November 2026) that there is plenty still to improve and asked users to try messy images, so results on busy artwork are unproven.

Questions about Lottie AI
How much does Lottie AI cost?
Starter is free for life with 10 Lottie AI generations. Individual is $19.99 a month for 300 credits, up to 60 generations, and Team is $24.99 a month for 600 credits shared across a workspace, up to 120 generations. Team+ is custom and sold through the sales team, and all plans are shown in US dollars on lottie.ai/pricing.
Is Lottie AI free to use?
Yes, within a limit: the Starter plan is free for life and includes 10 generations, and the pricing page does not say they refresh monthly the way paid credits do. Moving the control sliders does not use a credit, and a follow-up that changes nothing uses none either. You still need a LottieFiles account to generate.
How is Lottie AI different from an AI video generator?
Lottie AI's FAQ says a video model outputs finished pixels at one resolution, so a color change means generating again. Lottie AI outputs a vector animation with named shapes, color values and timing curves, which stays sharp at any size and has a transparent background by default. For photoreal footage or audio, it tells you to use a video model.
Who owns what Lottie AI generates, and does it train on my prompts?
Lottie AI says you own everything you generate and that all content comes with a full commercial AI license. It also says it does not use your prompts, imported files or outputs to train AI models. The terms and privacy policy sit on lottiefiles.com.
Is Lottie AI right for me, and can it animate my own SVG?
Lottie AI's FAQ says you can import an SVG, an image or a Lottie JSON file and animate artwork you already have, and set a custom color palette before generating. Pick it if you are a product designer or developer who needs UI motion for an app or site. Pick a video model for photoreal footage, or Lottie Creator for frame-level control.
About Lottie AI
Lottie AI is LottieFiles' text-to-Lottie generator, launched on Product Hunt in November 2026 as the company's 17th launch there. You describe an animation in plain language and it returns a Lottie, the lightweight JSON vector format that apps and websites use for motion, with named layers and a set of controls built for that one animation. Its product manager, Benoit Campagnaud, wrote on the launch thread that it is for developers working in Cursor, Claude or v0, and for product designers who need a loader, an empty state or an onboarding moment without waiting for the next sprint.
Read the full background
According to three of its engineers on that thread, the AI does not push keyframes around. It writes code in LottieFiles' own animation language, and a compiler turns that code into Lottie; when the code has a mistake the compiler points to the spot, and the AI repairs it before you see it. One of them says the language already has bones and IK, physics, deformers, interactive state machines and 300+ built-in functions.
Hokai read the public showcase on lottie.ai on 11 November 2026, which lists 20 featured animations from a desert pickup truck to a koi pond. Generating needs a LottieFiles account, so Hokai did not run a prompt itself. Another engineer on the thread says the target is UI motion such as loaders, empty states, onboarding and icons.
Pick something else for photoreal footage or audio: Lottie AI's own FAQ tells those users to choose a video model such as Runway. If you already have animations to place rather than generate, LottieFiles also ships plugins for Figma and Canva. A designer who wants frame-level control will prefer Lottie Creator, the browser editor from the same maker, which Hokai has not listed yet. More text-to-content products are in AI content creation platforms.
