Convert Lottie to GIF
Turn a Lottie JSON animation into an animated GIF — free, private, and instant in your browser.
How it works
- 1Upload a Lottie file (.json, .lottie, or .tgs), or try the example
- 2Adjust frame rate, quality, resolution and transparency
- 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.
About converting Lottie to GIF
GIF is the most universally supported animated format: it plays in email, Slack, chat apps, documents, and every browser, with no runtime or JavaScript required. That makes it the safe choice whenever you need an animation to “just work” outside a live web or app runtime.
The trade-offs are GIF's age: a 256-color palette (which can band on gradients) and 1-bit transparency (hard edges instead of smooth alpha). If you need smaller files with full color and clean transparency, look at APNG or WebM — both linked below. You can export a transparent GIF, choose 1×–4× resolution, and tune frame rate and quality here.
Which format should I use?
| Format | Type | Transparency | Color | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GIF | Animated image | 1-bit (hard edges) | 256 colors | Email, chat, universal support |
| APNG | Animated image | 8-bit (smooth) | Full 24-bit | Icons, logos, quality over size |
| WebM | Video | Yes (VP9 alpha) | Full | Small web video, transparent overlays |
| MP4 | Video | None | Full | Social, ads, video editors |
| SVG | Vector (SMIL) | Yes | Full | Runtime-free embeds |
| PNG / WebP | Still image | Yes | Full | Posters, thumbnails, placeholders |
Frequently asked questions
Is the Lottie to GIF converter free?+
Yes — it's completely free with no account, no watermark, and no limits.
Are my files uploaded?+
No. Everything runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded to a server.
Can I export a transparent GIF?+
Yes. Toggle “Transparent background” before exporting. Note GIF only supports 1-bit transparency, so anti-aliased edges may show slight fringing — APNG or WebM keep smooth alpha.
What frame rate and resolution can I use?+
Frame rate from 6–60 fps and resolution up to 4×. Most GIF viewers cap playback near ~50 fps.
