About this tool

Preview Lottie animations directly in the browser when you need to review motion files, validate playback, and check dimensions or asset weight before handoff.

Lottie Preview is useful when animation JSON needs a fast visual QA pass before handoff or release. It helps teams inspect playback, dimensions, frame timing, and asset weight without opening a design app or shipping the file into a staging build first.

  • Supports pasted or uploaded Lottie JSON with instant browser-side rendering.
  • Includes play, pause, loop, speed, background, and preview size controls.
  • Shows useful animation insights like canvas size, duration, frame rate, layer count, and image assets.

How to use Lottie Preview

Paste or upload the Lottie JSON, review the playback with the preview controls, and check the animation stats before approving the asset. If the file is headed for production, use the preview to catch timing or sizing issues early so implementation does not start from a bad export.

When this tool is useful

  • Supports pasted or uploaded Lottie JSON with instant browser-side rendering.
  • Includes play, pause, loop, speed, background, and preview size controls.
  • Shows useful animation insights like canvas size, duration, frame rate, layer count, and image assets.

Examples you can test

Load an example, compare the result with the expected output, then replace it with your own input.

Preview a loading animation

Example input

Lottie JSON exported from a motion tool

Expected output

Playable browser preview

Previewing before implementation helps catch missing assets, wrong dimensions, or timing issues.

Check animation loop behavior

Example input

Lottie file with loop enabled

Expected output

Repeated playback in the preview area

Loop behavior should match the intended UI state, especially for loaders and success states.

Validation checklist

  • Check file size, dimensions, duration, and loop behavior before shipping.
  • Preview the animation in the browser where it will run.
  • Review performance when the animation contains many layers or assets.

Frequently asked questions

Can I preview a Lottie file without uploading it to a server?

Yes. The preview runs entirely in your browser, so you can paste or upload the JSON locally and inspect it immediately.

Does the preview tool show animation stats?

Yes. It surfaces dimensions, duration, frame rate, layer count, and image asset counts to help you review the file before handoff.

Which Lottie features are not supported in the preview?

The preview uses the lottie-web renderer, so expressions and some After Effects effects like Gaussian blur or drop shadow may not render identically to native playback.

Can I preview a Lottie file hosted at a remote URL?

The tool accepts local file uploads. To preview a remote file, download the JSON first and then upload it to the preview tool.

What do the animation insights tell me?

Insights display frame count, frame rate, duration, layer count, and asset references so you can verify timing and complexity before integrating the animation into production.
