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

  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 Lottie to MP4 for YouTube

  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 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.

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.
