Convert Lottie to MP4 for YouTube
Turn Lottie motion graphics into MP4 clips for YouTube videos, intros, and Shorts — free, 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 MP4 for YouTube
YouTube ingests MP4 (H.264) happily, and Lottie-based logo stings, lower-thirds, and intro bumpers convert cleanly here: choose 30 or 60fps and export at 2×–4× so the upscale to 1080p/4K stays sharp in your editor.
For overlays (subscribe animations, lower-thirds) export WebM with alpha instead and composite in your editor — MP4 itself has no transparency. Shorts follow the same 9:16 guidance as TikTok/Reels.
Which format should I use?

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 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
What frame rate should I pick?+
Match your project — 30fps for standard videos, 60fps if your timeline is 60fps. The slider goes 6–60.
How do I use a Lottie as an overlay in my edit?+
Export WebM (alpha) here, drop it above your footage in the editor, and deliver the final MP4 to YouTube.
Does the export have a watermark?+
No — free, watermark-free, and nothing is uploaded anywhere.
