| Play LottieFiles in your WPF application |
|---|
LottieSharp is built for WPF applications only. It targets .NET 6 and is built using SkiaSharp and Skottie.
You can load lottie animations and play them in your applications, creating beautiful UIs.

Add LottieSharp to your application:
PM> Install-Package LottieSharp -Version 2.0.0
Reference LottieSharp in your XAML Window/Page/UserControl:
xmlns:lottie="clr-namespace:LottieSharp.WPF;assembly=LottieSharp.WPF"
Add a LottieAnimationView control. Set properties as you wish:
<lottie:LottieAnimationView
Width="200"

AutoPlay="True"
FileName="{Binding Path=SelectedAsset.FilePath}"
RepeatCount="-1" />

This is the first release with basic features but very functional. For next releases I want to:
- Improve player mechanism
- Add reverse mode
Lottie enables us to easily include beautiful and performant vector animations in applications. Since Lottie animations are exported as JSON files, file sizes remain >small and animations can easily be resized and looped with without losing quality. So, no more heavy videos or gifs!
There are many FREE files you can use. Visit LottieFiles website, there are a huge community for lottie!
