Lottier – Lottie Animated Images for Elementor Features
The feature set is built around providing complete control over the Lottie library and custom JSON files within the WordPress ecosystem.
Huge Animation Library

You can browse and implement these graphics in just two clicks, or upload your own custom exports from Adobe After Effects. This makes it an essential design tool for rapid prototyping.
Deep Elementor Integration
Lottier provides five unique stylized templates to help you start your project immediately. Within the Elementor editor, you can configure the size, position, and playback modes including looping or speed adjustments. The plugin works with any modern theme built on Elementor version 2.5 or higher.
Advanced Customization Options
The plugin includes a three-component block layout and full support for customizable fonts, colors, and gradients. You can even edit the individual layer colors of an animation using a functional online editor. This ensures the animation matches your brand identity perfectly without needing additional design software.
