Embed Lottie Player – bring your pages to life with animation vs Events Manager – Calendar, Bookings, Tickets, and more!

Add eye-catching Lottie motion graphics to any post, page, or widget – configure autoplay, looping, and interactivity in a few clicks, no code required. Plugin Demo | Documentation | Get Pro Version Why Embed Lottie Player? Lottie animations are the modern way to add lightweight, crisp motion graphics to the web – and Embed Lottie Player makes using them in WordPress effortless. Embed any LottieFiles animation, .json, or .dotlottie file into posts, pages, and widgets with a dedicated Gutenberg block, then show your animation exactly the way you want. The block is packed with options: show or hide player controls, enable autoplay and looping, attach a link, set the width, and align the player left, center, or right. You can even style the controls themselves – height, background color, icon colors, tracker, and thumb – to match your site. The Pro version goes further with direct file uploads, hover interactions, playback modes, direction, play count, speed, and interval controls, plus advanced interactivity like scroll synchronization, cursor-driven playback, and click-triggered animations – and a fully styleable caption below the player. Free Features JSON & dotLottie URLs: Enter both .json and .lottie file URLs to embed animations. Player Controls: Show controls so users can interact with the player. Autoplay: Start the animation automatically on load. Loop: Make the animation repeat seamlessly. Link: Add a link to the player so users can navigate to any URL. Width & Alignment: Set the player width and align it left, center, or right. Control Styling: Customize height, background color, icon colors (normal, hover, active), tracker color, and thumb color. Pro Version Upload Files: Upload both .json and .lottie files directly to the Lottie Player. Hover: Play the animation when the mouse hovers over the player. Mode, Direction & Count: Choose playback modes, set forward/backward direction, and specify how many times the animation plays. Speed & Interval: Adjust playback speed and set an interval between loops. Open Link in New Tab: Send visitors to your link without leaving the page. Interactivity: Sync with scroll, scroll relative to the container, scroll with offset, sync with cursor position or horizontal movement, play on click, and play when visible. Caption & Caption Styles: Show a caption below the player and customize its text alignment, typography, colors (text and background), padding, and margin. How to Use – Quick Start Install and activate the Lottie Player block plugin. In the Gutenberg editor, add the Lottie Player block from the “Widgets” block category. Paste your .json or .lottie file URL. Configure controls, autoplay, loop, link, width, and alignment from the right-side settings sidebar. Publish – your animation is live. Use Cases Landing Pages: Replace static hero images with lightweight animated illustrations. Product Sites: Explain features with looping micro-animations. Portfolios & Agencies: Add polished motion design that loads fast. Blogs & Docs: Illustrate steps and concepts with animated visuals. User Feedback ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfecto ❛❛Genial para meter animaciones lottie❜❜ –juandemingo ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Plugin! ❛❛This is a fantastic plugin to configure Lottie Animations. Simple and easy to use but still very customizable. The support team helped me a lot while i built my site. Thank you very much guys❜❜ –bueroblanko ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recommended ❛❛Currently, we have little choice when we need to embed a Lottie animation into a WordPress website built with the block editor. Luckily, this plugin is far above average and offers many options to finetune your animation. (Tip: You can even use it to embed a Lottie animation with the Divi builder – simply create a sidebar, insert the animation there, and then bring it into your page using Divi’s sidebar module.)❜❜ –Martin Sauter Did you like this plugin?
