@aram_movsisyan2 for sure, but mostly for websites, loading animations etc. 😄

Lottiefiles has a lot of free animations and there's also Figma plugin so the barrier between Designer and Developer is removed 😄

Ivan Ralic · Answer

As much native as you can get them 😄

Good UI animation is the one that is slick, so if you are building app, think of the native animations you can use for that particular device more than how it would look like in Figma.

Besides that, native animations are in most cases easier to develop and already good with performances 😄🚀

@ralic how about JSON/Lottie animations? Have you ever used them and if so, what do you think?

Irina Kegishyan · Answer

As a JSON-based file format, Lottie animation should be the best solution for UI designers. They work on any device, any platform, and ship animations in just no time.🤌

⚡The one platform I would advise to check for Lottie animations is creattie.com. They have a super cool base of high-quality animated icons, and character animation for any niche.

Answer

I think Lottie is your best choice. It's because it is JSON based and super light and works on all platforms
