An online collection of free, high quality animation files for the Lottie animation framework. LottieFiles lets designers and animators share their animations created in Adobe After Effects for developers you use in their iOS and Android apps. All animations can be previewed on the site before downloading the JSON file ready to be used by Lottie. Some are also supplied with the original AEP file so you tweak the animation and re-export for the exact effect you’re looking for.

A new motion design tool for Mac that lets you easily animate designs and generate production-ready code that a developer can use right away. Flow works directly with a designer√¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s Sketch file. After creating a new project the user simply links to their Sketch file and chooses two artboards to animate between. It automatically animates between two linked states, but you can edit timelines, durations, and easing to get it just right. When finished, you can export views, view controllers and even full Xcode projects in production ready Swift code. […]
An online marketplace of ready-made animations that you can buy as GIFs to use in your prototypes or apps.

All GIF animations and PNG images are royalty-free, which means they can be used in your App Store apps. And if you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for you could at least use the library for a bit of inspiration. […]
A library for iOS and Android from the developers at Airbnb that parses Adobe After Effects animations and renders the vector animations natively on mobile.

Best of all, as the animations are rendered as vectors they can be resized, looped, sped up, slowed down, and even interactively scrubbed without any loss in quality. […]
