IconKing added LottieFiles as alternative to IconKing – Free Lottie Preview Tool- choomaque reviewed LottieFiles
The import of .SVG is broken. The imported SVG has all of the objects invisible and there is no way to make them visible. Changing opacity does nothing. Switching visibility does nothing. The file structure is broken and unrecognizable from what was present in the app where it was made. The Figma plugin also broken and "finds" issues that do not exist. So far the only feature that works perfectly fine in this suite of apps - is counting how many files did you upload and the payment flow.

What is LottieFiles?
LottieFiles is a comprehensive animation library that is compatible with Android, iOS, Web, and Windows platforms. It effectively parses animations exported as JSON from Adobe After Effects using Bodymovin, and is capable of rendering these animations natively on both mobile devices and the web.
The LottieFiles library supports a variety of After Effects features including solids, shape layers, masks, alpha mattes, trim paths, and dash patterns. It is continually updated with new features to expand its animation capabilities. Furthermore, it provides users with the flexibility to manipulate animations as needed. This includes the ability to move animations forward or backward, and more notably, the ability to program animations to respond to specific interactions.
In terms of file size, LottieFiles is designed to be efficient and manageable. It allows for the bundling of vector animations within your app, eliminating concerns over multiple dimensions or large file sizes. As an alternative, it also offers the option to separate animation files from your app's code entirely by loading them from a JSON API.
Comments and Reviews
Absolutely abhorrent and handicapped format that cannot do:
Struggles with:
Resulting files are very difficult to edit in text editor. Resulting files can be very large (~300MB if some shape/behavior modifier animation is baked).
Avoid at all costs and use something else. SMIL SVG's for simplistic animations for example. GSAP, Anime.js, ThreeJS for implementing more complex animations. Rive as a non-free non-opensource alternative.
