Convert dotLottie to GIF

Turn a .lottie (dotLottie) file straight into an animated GIF — no unpacking, no account, all in your browser.

How it works

  1. 1Upload a Lottie file (.json, .lottie, or .tgs), or try the example
  2. 2Adjust frame rate, quality, resolution and transparency
  3. 3Export to any format — or optimize and repackage as dotLottie

Nothing is uploaded. SVG output uses SMIL and needs no JavaScript; APNG and WebM keep the full color and transparency GIF can't.

How to convert dotLottie to GIF

  1. 1

    Drop in your animation. Drag & drop a Lottie .json, .lottie, or .tgs file — or paste a URL. It loads instantly and never leaves your browser.

  2. 2

    Tune the output. Set frame rate, quality, and resolution up to 4× — plus a transparent background where the format supports it.

  3. 3

    Export & download. Hit the export button and the file downloads straight from your browser — free, no watermark, no signup.

About converting dotLottie to GIF

dotLottie (.lottie) is the zipped container format the Lottie ecosystem is standardizing on. Most converters make you extract the JSON first; here you just drop the .lottie file — the animation inside is detected and loaded automatically, ready to export as a GIF.

You get the same controls as any conversion: frame rate, quality, up to 4× resolution, and a transparent-background option. If GIF's 256 colors band on your gradients, APNG or WebM are one click away.
