Downloading files

Download a local file when you need to attach an animation to another tool, test it locally, or send a file directly.

Steps

1. Generate and preview the animation.

2. Choose the output format.

3. Click the download action when available.

4. Save the file locally.

What to download

• Download .lottie by default — smaller files and access to state machines, themes, and motion tokens.

• Download .json when you need compatibility with legacy lottie-web style players.

• Download GIF, MP4, WebM, or MOV for review or design-context use.

Before sending a file

Confirm the recipient knows:

• Which format you exported.

• Whether the animation is interactive.

• Which runtime should play it.

• Whether Workspace has a newer version.
