SVG to Lottie converter

Converting static SVG files directly into the Lottie format is an incredibly efficient method for preparing vector artwork for complex web animation workflows. The distinct advantage is structural translation; this tool translates SVG XML code (paths, fills, strokes) directly into Lottie JSON code, maintaining vector editability and allowing motion designers to instantly begin animating the geometry without needing to recreate assets. The converter parses the SVG DOM, maps native SVG attributes to Lottie Shape Layers, and constructs the JSON hierarchy. It is specifically designed for UI animators, motion designers, and frontend engineers building interactive web components. Supported inputs include cleanly organized, native SVG files without external CSS or base64 embedded images. A practical usecase involves a UI designer taking a static SVG icon of a 'hamburger menu', converting it to a Lottie JSON file, and then adding keyframes directly to the paths to create a smooth 'menu-to-close-X' morphing animation for a website header. The main limitation is that complex SVG filters, masks, and certain gradients do not translate perfectly to Lottie's strict JSON schema. Potential errors include 'Unsupported SVG filter effect' or 'Path parsing failure'.
