Convert Lottie to MP4
Export a Lottie animation as an MP4 (H.264) video — ready for TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, ads, and video editors.
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.
How to convert Lottie to MP4
- 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
Tune the output. Set frame rate, quality, and resolution up to 4× — plus a transparent background where the format supports it.
- 3
Export & download. Hit the export button and the file downloads straight from your browser — free, no watermark, no signup.
About converting Lottie to MP4
MP4 is the format social platforms, ad networks, and editing tools expect. Converting your Lottie to MP4 lets you drop a crisp, hardware-friendly video anywhere a JSON animation won't play.
MP4 encoding uses your browser's built-in H.264 encoder via the WebCodecs API. Most desktop versions of Chrome and Edge support it; where it isn't available, the MP4 button is disabled and WebM is the recommended alternative (it's supported far more widely and also keeps transparency). MP4 itself has no alpha channel — for a transparent video, use WebM.

Frequently asked questions
Which browsers can export MP4?+
MP4/H.264 depends on your browser's WebCodecs encoder — typically available in desktop Chrome and Edge. If it's unavailable the button is disabled; use WebM instead.
Can the MP4 have a transparent background?+
No — MP4/H.264 has no alpha channel. For transparent video, export WebM instead.
Is it free and private?+
Yes. It's free, and everything runs entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded to a server.
