EasyLottie

Edit Lottie without After Effects

After Effects costs $22.99/month and takes weeks to learn. EasyLottie does the same 80% of common Lottie edits in your browser, for free, in seconds.

The problem

After Effects is the industry standard for creating Lottie animations — but for editing them after delivery, it's wildly overkill. You pay $22.99/month, install a 4 GB application, learn an unfamiliar interface, and locate the original .aep source file. All to change one color or swap one image.

Most designers and developers don't want to author Lottie animations. They want to take an existing Lottie file and adjust it: change a hex color to match the brand, replace a placeholder logo, slow the speed, swap dark-mode assets. None of those tasks justifies a $300/year subscription.

And the alternatives are worse: editing the raw JSON by hand is fragile, asking the original designer to re-export takes days, and most online Lottie tools are either paywalled, watermark the output, or upload your file to a server.

How EasyLottie solves it

EasyLottie is a browser-only Lottie editor that handles the four most common post-delivery edits: color change, image replacement, speed adjustment, and previewing. Everything runs locally — your file is never uploaded.

It's built for the 80% case: you have a Lottie file, you want to tweak it, you want it done in under a minute. No timeline, no keyframes, no layers panel — just the controls that matter for editing.

The complete toolkit is free with no signup. Use it on a phone, a Chromebook, a corporate laptop without admin rights — anywhere a modern browser runs.
