You can browse a large free library, edit animations in the browser, and integrate them via the Lottie player library or an API. Ideal for adding micro-interactions without heavy video files.

It integrates with Jira, Asana, Slack, and Figma. The free tier allows 3 editable boards; paid plans remove limits and add advanced facilitation tools.
