MP4 to Lottie ZIP
Package short video frames with Lottie JSON. Unpack the ZIP and preserve its image paths when integrating with a player; test that runtime before shipping.
MP4 to Lottie
Convert MP4 to Lottie in your browser
Turn a short video, GIF, or image sequence into an image-sequence Lottie ZIP. Remove a solid background if needed, preview, and download. Video stays raster — it does not become editable vectors.

Conversion is local. Optional cloud sync and sharing upload your selected result.
Start with a real example
Load a source with its settings, preview the conversion, then try your own file.
- Product UI motion 4-second video. Keep the background, 480 px / 24 fps.
- Solid background removal A static green-screen sample to inspect edges and transparency.
- GIF to Lottie Start with an actual GIF and preserve its raster frames.
- High frame rate and output limits 15-second / 60 fps source. The 450-frame limit adjusts output fps.
No After Effects Required
Start with a short product clip, screen recording, or green-screen animation when your project needs an image-sequence Lottie asset. If you need editable vector shapes, rebuild the animation from vector artwork instead. This converter preserves the raster nature of the source video.
The EasyLottie MP4 tool runs the whole pipeline locally. WebCodecs decodes the video frame-by-frame, a WebGL2 Keylight-style shader pulls the matte, and the format you pick — GIF, Lottie ZIP, transparent WebM, or PNG sequence — is encoded right in the browser. Cloud sync, sharing, and support sample submissions are separate, optional uploads.
Each format has a tradeoff: GIF has binary transparency and a limited color palette; WebM can preserve soft alpha where encoding and playback support it; Lottie ZIP wraps the frames as a raster image sequence so it plays through an image-capable Lottie player; and PNG sequence stores full-alpha frames for further editing. Compare file size and test the exported file in your destination.
Convert MP4, MOV, GIF, and WebM to Lottie
Most video to Lottie and MP4 to Lottie searches are really about one of four jobs: make an AI video usable on a web page, remove a green-screen background, export a transparent animation for Chromium, or hand off clean PNG frames to a motion tool. EasyLottie keeps those jobs in one browser workflow instead of sending you to After Effects, FFmpeg, and a separate GIF maker.
Green screen to transparent GIF
Pick the green background, tune tolerance and softness, then export a GIF for chat, docs, email, or places where WebM is not supported.
MP4 to transparent WebM
Export VP8 WebM where your browser supports it, then check alpha playback in the browsers your audience uses. Output size depends on the clip and settings.
Video to PNG sequence
Download every keyed frame as transparent PNGs for After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, Figma plugins, or custom render pipelines.
Green Screen Video to Transparent Lottie
For green screen or solid-color videos, you can remove the background directly in the browser and export transparent animation assets as Lottie ZIP, WebM, GIF, or PNG sequence.
This is especially useful for AI video to Lottie workflows, character stickers, product motion clips, and transparent Lottie animation assets that need to drop into web or app surfaces without a heavy desktop motion stack.
A practical video to Lottie workflow for developers
EasyLottie helps developers convert short videos, GIFs, MOV files, WebM clips, and image sequences into Lottie-compatible animation assets without After Effects. It is useful for landing pages, app onboarding, SaaS product demos, UI micro-interactions, AI-generated clips, and Vibe Coding projects.
The MP4 to Lottie workflow is honest about the format: video stays pixel-based, then gets packaged into a Lottie-compatible ZIP with transparent frames. That keeps the asset developer-friendly without pretending every video can become a tiny hand-authored vector Lottie file.
Video to Lottie for Web Development and App Onboarding
Use the converter when a short video asset needs to behave like an app-ready animation rather than a regular MP4 file.
Use video to Lottie for real web and app projects
Landing page hero animations
Transparent motion for product-first hero sections.
App onboarding animations
Short, guided clips for first-run experiences.
SaaS product demo clips
Package short UI motion for an existing Lottie workflow.

Export and test assets in your target player.
Export as Lottie ZIP, WebM, GIF, or PNG Sequence
Choose Lottie ZIP when your player supports image assets. Choose WebM after testing alpha playback in your target browser. Choose PNG sequence for lossless frame export. GIF supports binary transparency, which cannot preserve soft edges. No output is guaranteed to be the smallest for every clip.

Browser-Based and Local Video Processing
Choose a short source
Choose or drag a video (.mp4 / .mov / .webm), a GIF, or PNG/JPG/WebP image files, individually or in a ZIP. Up to 100 MB total. Start with H.264 MP4; codec support depends on your browser. Conversion reads the source locally.
Trim the clip
For video, set in / out points on the timeline. GIF and image sequences use the full source range; trim before upload if you need a subset.
Pull a key (optional)
Pick the background color from the live preview, then tune tolerance, softness, despill, and choke. Skip this step if your source already has transparency.
Choose a format
Lottie ZIP packages raster frames and JSON for a compatible player. GIF supports binary transparency; WebM and PNG can preserve soft alpha. Available exports depend on browser support. Compare the actual output size for your clip.
Preview, download, and reopen
Play the exported result before downloading, then test it in your target player. Check the local save status to reopen the result from Workspace in this browser. Optional cloud sync and sharing upload the selected result only when you choose them.
FAQ: MP4 to Lottie Converter
Can I convert video to Lottie without After Effects?
Yes. EasyLottie provides a browser-based workflow for converting short videos into Lottie-compatible animation assets without After Effects. It is not true vector conversion; video-based output wraps raster frames in a Lottie-compatible package.
Can I convert MP4 to Lottie?
Yes. Import an MP4 file and export a Lottie-compatible ZIP, transparent WebM, GIF, or PNG sequence. Short clips with simple backgrounds work best.
Can I convert GIF to Lottie?
Yes. GIF input can be exported as an image-sequence Lottie ZIP or another supported format. GIF has binary transparency: a pixel is either opaque or transparent. Converting it does not recreate soft edges or colors already lost in the source.
Can I convert MOV to Lottie?
MOV support depends on its codec and your browser. If decoding fails, re-export the source as H.264 MP4 and try again. Changing the filename extension alone does not convert the codec.
Can I remove green screen background and export transparent Lottie?
Yes. EasyLottie can remove green screen or solid-color backgrounds in the browser, then export transparent animation assets as Lottie ZIP, WebM, GIF, or PNG sequence.
Is video to Lottie the same as vector Lottie?
No. EasyLottie packages raster image frames and animation JSON in a ZIP. It does not reconstruct editable shapes or infinitely scalable vectors. File size depends on the clip, dimensions, frame count, and quality; it is not guaranteed to be smaller than GIF or MP4.
Is my video uploaded to a server?
Conversion, chroma key, preview, and export run locally and do not require uploading your source video. If you choose cloud sync, sharing, or a support sample submission, the selected files are uploaded for that action.
What export format should I choose: Lottie, WebM, GIF, or PNG sequence?
Choose Lottie ZIP if your player supports image assets; preserve the JSON and image paths when unpacking it. Choose WebM only after testing alpha playback in your target browser. PNG sequence preserves full-alpha frames. GIF is convenient for simple clips but has binary transparency and a limited palette.
Why does an HEVC or H.265 MP4 fail in the browser?
Browser video decoding support depends on the codec, not only the .mp4 extension. If HEVC or H.265 is unavailable, convert the source to H.264 MP4 or VP9 WebM, then run the conversion again.
What are the size, duration, and frame limits?
Inputs can total up to 100 MB. Video output is limited to a 15-second selection, 450 frames, and a 1920 px long edge. When the frame cap is reached, the tool lowers the effective frame rate to keep the selected duration: 15 seconds requested at 60 fps becomes 450 frames at 30 fps. These are individual limits, not a promise they can all be used together; the frame-memory budget can require a smaller output. MP4/MOV sources longer than 30 seconds must be trimmed outside the tool first.
Can I reopen a converted animation later?
When the local save succeeds, you can reopen the exported result in Workspace in the same browser without converting it again. Check the save status and keep a downloaded copy: clearing browser storage can remove local work. This saves the result, not the source video or a fully editable project. Cloud sync and share links are optional.
