How to Embed Lottie Animations: The Complete Developer Guide
Lottie animations bring web and mobile interfaces to life with smooth, scalable vector animations. But getting the embed code right — especially across different frameworks — can be tricky. This free tool generates production-ready code for all major platforms.
HTML Embed with lottie-web
The most common approach: include the lottie-web library via CDN, create a container element, and initialize with lottie.loadAnimation(). Choose between SVG, Canvas, or HTML renderers depending on your animation complexity and performance requirements.
React Integration
For React apps, the lottie-react package provides a clean component interface. Import your JSON, pass it as animationData, and control playback via props. The component handles cleanup and re-rendering automatically.
Vue Integration
Vue developers can use vue3-lottie or directly integrate lottie-web in a component with onMounted lifecycle hook. This generator outputs clean Vue 3 Composition API code.
dotLottie Player
For the simplest embed experience, dotLottie's <dotlottie-player> web component requires just a script tag and one custom element. No JavaScript configuration needed — everything is set via HTML attributes.
