Host Lottie Animation

Hosting Lottie animations online makes it much easier to share them with clients, team members, or include them in your portfolio. When you host Lottie files online, you get a direct link that can be shared anywhere, allowing recipients to view the animation in a browser without needing special software. It also makes it simple to embed these animations into websites or presentations. For developers, having a hosted version means they can quickly implement your animations without dealing with file transfers or compatibility issues.

After hosting your Lottie animation on Tiiny Host, you can embed it in your website using a few simple methods. The easiest way is to use an iframe with your animation's URL. Alternatively, you can use the Lottie web player library by including the lottie-web.js script in your HTML, then create a container element and initialize the animation with JavaScript. For more control, you can download the lottie-web library from GitHub and implement it with custom settings to control playback, looping, and other parameters according to your needs.

Yes, Tiiny Host allows you to update your hosted Lottie animations without changing the URL. This is particularly useful when you need to make revisions based on client feedback or fix issues. Simply log into your Tiiny Host account, locate your Lottie animation in your dashboard, and select the update option. Upload the new version of your JSON file, and it will replace the existing animation while maintaining the same shareable link. This means anyone who already has the link will automatically see the updated version without you needing to redistribute a new URL.

Hosting Lottie files offers several advantages over GIFs. Lottie animations are typically 10-100 times smaller in file size than equivalent GIFs, resulting in faster loading times and better performance. Lottie files are vector-based, so they remain crisp at any resolution, while GIFs can appear pixelated when scaled. Lottie animations also support transparency and can be interactive – responding to user actions or being controlled programmatically. Additionally, Lottie files can be easily modified with code after hosting, allowing for color changes and timing adjustments without recreating the animation.
