Text-to-Lottie: Generate Lottie animations with coding agents

Diffusion Studio released Text-to-Lottie, an open-source framework that enables coding agents like Claude Code or Codex to generate production-ready Lottie animations from text prompts. The tool supports real-time preview, SVG-based animations, and integration with Lottie-web, React Native, and other platforms.

Text-to-lottie is an open-source framework for generating production ready Lottie animations with claude code/codex or any other coding agent supporting skills. | | Install the skill: npx skills add diffusionstudio/lottie Then ask your coding agent to generate a Lottie animation using text-to-lottie . Example prompt: Create a Lottie animation from the SVG path in https://github.com/JaceThings/SF-Hello/blob/main/SVG/hello-en.svg . Reveal the path with an animation that follows the natural path direction. Apply a premium apple themed gradient to the path. Use ease-in-out timing, a transparent background, and preserve the original SVG geometry. The agent sets up the workspace and the included player, where each animation lives as a scene inside a project. Scenes load automatically from public/projects/<project /<scene /lottie.json and live-update in the player as the agent edits them — so you can inspect, scrub, and refine the generated Lottie in real time. Provide SVGs, real-world data, or screenshots whenever possible. Results are significantly better when the animation is based on concrete assets. Describe timing and movement using motion design language like ease-in, ease-out, and ease-in-out. Professional motion graphics often rely on camera movement. Include camera pushes, pans, zooms, and rig-like motion in your prompt. The agent can simulate these through group transforms. By default, outputs usually only expose a background color control. If you want to customize other properties, explicitly ask the agent to create controls for them. If your animation requires a specific frame rate or length, include the desired FPS and total frame count in the prompt. Generated animations can be used directly as Lottie JSON files or imported into After Effects for further refinement. <script src="https://unpkg.com/lottie-web/build/player/lottie.min.js" </script <div id="anim" </div <script lottie.loadAnimation { container: document.getElementById "anim" , renderer: "svg", loop: true, autoplay: true, path: "/animations/my-animation.json" } ; </script python import LottieView from "lottie-react-native"; export default function Loader { return <LottieView source={require "./animation.json" } autoPlay loop style={{ width: 200, height: 200 }} / ; } Alternatively, React Native Skia https://shopify.github.io/react-native-skia/docs/skottie/ can also render Lottie animations via its Skottie module, including on the web. It lets you customize animation properties, assets, and typographies at runtime, and since Skottie is a regular Skia drawing, it can be composed into a larger Skia scene alongside shaders, effects, and masks. js import { Skia, Canvas, Skottie, useClock } from "@shopify/react-native-skia"; import { useDerivedValue } from "react-native-reanimated"; const animation = Skia.Skottie.Make JSON.stringify require "./animation.json" ; export default function Loader { const clock = useClock ; const frame = useDerivedValue = clock.value / 1000 % animation.duration animation.fps ; return <Canvas style={{ width: 200, height: 200 }} <Skottie animation={animation} frame={frame} / </Canvas ; } python import Lottie let animationView = LottieAnimationView name: "animation" animationView.frame = view.bounds animationView.contentMode = .scaleAspectFit animationView.loopMode = .loop view.addSubview animationView animationView.play val view = findViewById<LottieAnimationView R.id.animationView view.setAnimation R.raw.animation view.loop true view.playAnimation dependencies: lottie: ^latest import 'package:lottie/lottie.dart'; Lottie.asset 'assets/animation.json'
