How to Change Lottie Colors Without After Effects

Why Choose Our Lottie Color Editor?
There are other ways to recolor Lottie online, but here's why thousands of developers and designers choose our tool:
100% Client-Side Processing
Your Lottie files never leave your computer. All color editing happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. We can't see your files – completely private.

Unlike basic tools, we detect colors inside animation keyframes. If a color changes during the animation, we'll find it and let you edit each state individually.
Live Preview
See your changes immediately in the built-in Lottie player. Switch backgrounds between white, gray, dark, and checkerboard to see how your animation looks in different contexts.
One-Click Reset
Experimented with colors and want to start over? Click "Reset to original colors" to instantly restore everything. No need to re-upload.

Tips for Better Results
To get the most out of the Lottie color editor:
Use the preview backgrounds
Check how your animation looks on both light and dark surfaces. Colors that work on white may have poor contrast on dark backgrounds.
Watch for animated colors
If you see a lightning bolt (⚡) icon, that color is animated. Check both the start and end keyframe colors for a consistent look throughout the animation.
Keep good contrast
Maintain sufficient contrast between foreground and background elements for accessibility. Test with tools like WebAIM's contrast checker.
Test before deploying
After downloading, test your modified Lottie file in your actual application to ensure it looks correct in its final context and on target devices.

No tracking – We don't log which files you convert or what settings you use.
