Animation design platform LottieFiles announced a strategic investment from Figma Ventures and Webflow Ventures. And the current list of LottieFiles investors includes Adobe Fund for Design, Microsoft Ventures, Automattic, Square Peg Capital, and other renowned names. So far, the company has raised over $47 million and has over 9 million users and 280,000+ teams using its motion design platform.
LottieFiles was instrumental in popularizing the Lottie format and driving innovation in the motion design space. And the introduction of the dotLottie format has revolutionized the way animations are stored and shared, reducing file sizes by an impressive 80% on average. With runtime libraries available for every major platform, LottieFiles ensures these animations can be seamlessly integrated into any project, making it an essential tool for product teams shipping applications today.
The company’s key plugins and integrations also include an app for Canva, given that Canva’s native Lottie support works well for teams of marketers and designers looking to bring the power of motion to their work suite.
LottieFiles also recently introduced the Lottie Creation tool, a web-based motion design tool specially designed for creating Lottie animations. And this After Effects-like tool enables users to create stunning animations without the steep learning curve, making motion design more accessible. With this tool and a commitment to pushing boundaries, LottieFiles continues to transform how people work with animations.
