How Lottie preview & sharing works

01

Upload your animation

Drag & drop any Lottie JSON file. Previews start instantly in your browser — no upload to a server.

02

Adjust & review

Control speed, background color, loop settings, and view frame data. Then save to generate a shareable link.

03

Share with your team

Send the link to clients or teammates. They can preview the animation without any software or accounts.

Everything in the Lottie preview tool

Frequently asked questions

Is the Lottie preview tool free?

Yes, completely free. Upload any Lottie JSON, preview it instantly, and share it with a link — no account or payment required.

Do I need to create an account to share a Lottie animation?

You need to sign in to generate a permanent share link (so the file can be stored). Previewing animations locally in the browser requires no account at all.

What file formats does the preview tool support?

The tool supports Lottie JSON (.json) files. Most Lottie animations exported from After Effects with Bodymovin, or downloaded from LottieFiles, will work directly.

Can I share a Lottie animation without the recipient installing anything?

Yes. Share links open in any modern browser. Recipients do not need any plugins, accounts, or software — the animation plays directly in their browser.

How long are shared animation links valid?

Shared animation links are permanently accessible as long as the animation is saved to your IconKing account. Free accounts have storage limits; Pro accounts get unlimited storage.

Can my team leave feedback on a shared animation?

Yes. Team members can leave comments on shared animations. This makes it easy to review animations with clients or collaborators before final delivery.
