Lottie vs. Skia: What are you using for mobile animations in 2026?

I've historically relied on Lottie for adding rich animations to my mobile apps, but they often feel too bloated and hurt performance. I recently discovered how incredibly lightweight and fast Skia shaders (SKSL) are for both Flutter and React Native. Have you made the jump to Skia yet, or are you still relying on Lottie/Rive? Curious to hear what the community prefers!

Skia Labs - Ditch bloated Lottie files for 60fps mobile animations

App looking bland? Want animations, but tired of massive Lottie files tanking your performance? Stop choking your app with bloated JSONs. Skia-powered shaders run at 60fps, weigh nothing, and look incredible. Build, test, and tweak SKSL right here, then drop it directly into your React Native, Flutter, or even Native Mobile app.
