The browser-based Lottie animation editor
Change colors, replace images, adjust speed, and preview every frame — all in your browser, all for free. EasyLottie is the no-After-Effects way to edit a Lottie file in seconds.
The problem
After Effects is where Lottie animations are born, but it is the wrong tool for editing one after delivery. To change a single color or swap one image you would pay $22.99 a month, install a multi-gigabyte application, learn an unfamiliar timeline interface, and track down the original .aep source — an enormous amount of friction for a 30-second change.
Most people who reach for a Lottie editor are not motion designers. They are developers, founders, and marketers who already have a finished animation and just need to adapt it: recolor it for dark mode, drop in real branding, slow it down, or confirm it loops correctly before it ships. None of those tasks belongs in a professional authoring suite.
The online alternatives carry their own catches. Many are feature-locked behind a paid plan, watermark the output, cap you at a few files per month, or quietly upload your animation to their servers — a non-starter when the file is an unreleased product asset or confidential client work.
How EasyLottie solves it
EasyLottie is a focused, browser-only Lottie editor built for the edits people actually make after a file is delivered. It bundles the four most common operations — color change, image replacement, speed adjustment, and live preview — into simple tools that each do one job well, with no timeline, keyframes, or layers panel to learn.
The Color Editor auto-detects every color in the animation and lets you swap any of them with a live preview, perfect for brand matching and dark-mode themes. Image Replace detects and swaps embedded assets across JSON, ZIP, and APK files. Preview plays, scrubs, and re-speeds your animation so you can verify it before deployment. A 20-step undo backs every edit so experimenting is safe.
Everything runs locally in your browser — your file is never uploaded — and the whole toolkit is free with no signup, no watermark, and no usage cap. It works on a phone, a Chromebook, or a locked-down corporate laptop without admin rights. Trusted by 1,000+ developers and rated 4.9★ across 200+ reviews, it handles files up to 50 MB and exports clean JSON or ZIP that plays anywhere Lottie does.

Brand customization
A freelancer delivered an animation in their own palette and placeholder imagery. Recolor it and swap the assets to match your brand in under two minutes.
Dark-mode adaptation
An animation authored for a light interface looks wrong on a dark background. Recolor every layer for a dark theme without reopening the source file.
Pre-launch QA
Before deploying, preview the animation, check the loop and speed, and confirm the rendering is correct across the JSON or ZIP you are about to ship.
