Create, Collaborate, Ship

• Congratulations to the LottieFiles team for securing strategic investments from Figma Ventures and Webflow Ventures, joining existing investors like 500 Global, Adobe Fund for Design, Microsoft Ventures, and Square Peg Capital.
• In total, the 500-backed animation design platform has raised over US$47M, and has revolutionized the way animations are stored and shared, reducing file sizes by an impressive 80% on average.
• Today, LottieFiles has over 9 million users and 280,000+ teams using their motion design platform.
• “We are on a mission to democratize motion design and are beyond excited to be working alongside such incredible partners across the design industry. As Lottie continues to be adopted by large organizations across the globe, we remain focused on reducing the learning curve required to create, collaborate, and ship animations,” shared K. Minglani, Co-Founder & CEO.
• “Our integration with Figma has seen tremendous success, with over a million runs and hundreds of thousands of animations created,” added Co-Founder & CTO Nattu Adnan. “We recently added highly requested features to our Figma plugin, and we’re excited to announce our upcoming integration with Webflow, which will natively support the Lottie and dotLottie file formats, opening up new possibilities for our users.”
• The team recently introduced the Lottie Creation tool, an After Effects-like web-based motion design tool that empowers users to create stunning animations without the steep learning curve, making motion design more accessible than ever before.
