EasyLottie Guide
A Free Way to Edit and Convert Lottie in the Browser
You do not need a paid editor or After Effects to tweak a Lottie. Here is a practical, free, browser-based way to preview, recolor, swap images, and convert Lottie files — with nothing uploaded.
What people actually need from a Lottie editor
Most Lottie edits are small: the colors are off-brand, a logo or screenshot is stale, the file needs to become a GIF, or a designer sent a Figma animation that the codebase cannot use. These are not motion-design jobs, so opening After Effects — or paying for an editor — is overkill, and often impossible without the original source file.
EasyLottie is a free, browser-based toolkit built for exactly those edits. Everything runs locally on your device: no signup, no watermark, and nothing is uploaded to a server.
What you can do for free, in the browser
Each task below has a dedicated free tool. Pick the one that matches what you need to change.

Why "runs in the browser, nothing uploaded" matters
Free online tools sometimes upload your file to a server to process it. EasyLottie does not — decoding, editing, and exporting all happen locally in your browser. That keeps client work, unreleased product screens, and brand assets private, and it means there is no queue, no account, and no file-size upload limit tied to a plan.
When you still want After Effects
If you need to change the actual motion — retiming, re-easing, adding new animated elements, or building an animation from scratch — a full motion-design tool is still the right choice. EasyLottie is for editing and converting existing Lottie (and Lottie-adjacent) files quickly, not for authoring new motion. For the majority of "the animation is fine, I just need to change X" tasks, the free browser tools are faster.
Quick checklist
- Preview the file first to see what actually needs changing.
- Recolor with the Color Changer for brand or dark-mode variants.
- Replace stale logos/screenshots with Image Replace.
- Convert MP4/GIF/Figma sources into Lottie when needed.
- Everything is free and runs locally — nothing is uploaded.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a free way to edit a Lottie without After Effects?
Yes. EasyLottie lets you preview, recolor, replace images in, and convert Lottie files for free in your browser, with no After Effects and no signup.
Do I need to sign up or pay?
No. All the tools are free, with no account, no watermark, and no paid tiers required for the core editing and conversion tasks.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Everything runs locally in your browser, so your files never leave your device.
Can it edit the motion/timing?
No. It is for editing and converting existing Lottie files (colors, images, formats). Changing the actual motion is still a job for a motion-design tool.
