How to animate SVG using SVGator

Four steps between a static SVG and a live animation.

1. Open your SVG

Upload an SVG, copy it, or pull a frame in with the Figma plugin.

2. Stack the animators

Add Rotate, Morph, Stroke Offset, and Fill Color to the same timeline.

3. Wire the trigger

Set the animation to run on hover, on click, or on scroll into view.

4. Take the code

Export SVG, Lottie, React Native, and Flutter code, or GIF and MP4.

For designers who hand the animation straight to the front end.

Go to editor
  • Visual easing

    Drag the bezier handles on a segment, or pick from 31 ease presets.

  • Artwork intact

    Gradients, clipping masks, and groups arrive the way you built them.

  • CSS or JS code

    Pick CSS for lighter files, JavaScript for triggers and morph.

  • Native output

    One file plays on any screen, and search engines and AI can read it.

Start for free

From a static SVG to live motion, in-browser.

  1. Code writes itself

    Set keyframes on a timeline and SVGator writes the animation code.

  2. Same motion in every browser

    Export as JavaScript and every animator runs in Safari and Chrome.

  3. Clean markup on the way out

    Your developer opens a readable SVG and drops it into the build.

  4. The file is the whole delivery

    A single file carries the artwork, the motion, and the triggers.

Why web designers stay with SVGator

One project, every export format

Pick the format at export time and the project stays untouched.

Alternative formats:

MP4
MOV
WEBM
GIF
WEBP
APNG

SVGator is for

Three kinds of SVG work

Three roles, one file passed between them.

Monitor icon for UI designers

UI designers

Animate the icon you designed and hand over the finished file.

Monitor icon for front-end developers

Front-end devs

Drop the SVG into the markup and move on to the next ticket.

Group of people icon for product teams

Product teams

Cover loading states, empty states, and onboarding in one project.

SVG animation for websites and landing pages

SVG animation ships as code, so it stays sharp on any display and every element inside it stays selectable and styleable.

Lottie JSON is the format app teams ask for. SVGator exports standard or optimized JSON, and the optimized version runs up to 70% smaller.

GIF, MP4, and APNG cover the channels that will not take code: ad networks, email, and social feeds. MOV and WebM keep transparency for editors.

SVG animation for Android and iOS apps

Android and iOS apps play Lottie through the lottie-android and lottie-ios libraries. Export the JSON from the same project.

React Native and Flutter get their own exports. SVGator writes a .js or .dart file that renders the animation inside a webview component.

On paid plans the Player JS API drives playback from app code. Call play, pause, seek, or reverse to tie an animation to loading state or a tap.

FAQ

1. How can I animate my SVG?

Open the SVG in SVGator, select an element, and add an animator to it. Rotate, Scale, Opacity, Morph, and Stroke Offset each get their own timeline track. Set a value, move the playhead, set another, and SVGator holds the motion between the two keyframes.

2. Can SVG files be animations?

Yes. An SVG stores shapes as code, and that code can carry animation instructions alongside them. One file holds both the artwork and the motion. SVGator writes those instructions as CSS or JavaScript inside the file, so any modern browser plays it straight from the markup.

3. Is coding required to animate an SVG?

No. You set keyframes on a timeline and SVGator generates the CSS or JavaScript inside the exported file. Developers who want programmatic control can reach the animation through the Player JS API on paid plans, calling play, pause, seek, or reverse from their own code.

4. What are the downsides of SVG files?

SVG describes shapes with paths, so photographs and detailed textures belong in a raster format. Artwork with thousands of nodes gets heavy and slows rendering. Ad networks, email clients, and social platforms take flat files, so animations headed there export as GIF, MP4, or APNG.
