AI-Driven Animation Simplified: A Magic Animator Review
Magic Animator by LottieLab Simplifies Animation Creation for Designers
As of July 28, 2025, Magic Animator, an AI-powered animation tool by LottieLab, is revolutionising the design industry by transforming static designs into dynamic animations with just one click.
During its beta phase, Magic Animator is primarily designed for social media, UI, and marketing content, focusing on Figma and popular formats. The tool is currently available for free, with official paid plans expected as it matures.
One of the standout features of Magic Animator is its one-click animation generation. Upload a Figma frame or SVG, and the tool instantly produces multiple AI-generated animation options without requiring any prompt input or manual keyframing. The animations are editable, allowing designers to fine-tune every detail, preserving full control over timing and motion.
Magic Animator offers multi-format export options, enabling designers to export their animations as MP4 (up to 4K resolution), GIFs, Lottie files, and other formats suitable for websites, apps, social media, and advertisements.
The tool integrates well with design tools like Canva and Adobe Express, enabling seamless workflow across platforms. It also includes a built-in chat assistant to help fine-tune animations and offers multiple animation variants to choose from.
Magic Animator has already gained the attention of major companies such as Netflix, Google, and Omnicom. It ranked #1 on Product Hunt launch day and has received strong user ratings (4.8⭐).
The tool's AI-powered design understanding automatically analyses the design's structure and hierarchy, enabling it to generate relevant animations contextually without user prompts or complex setup. This feature significantly reduces the time required to animate UI and graphic elements—from what typically takes 6+ hours manually down to about 30 minutes—allowing designers to focus more on creative intent rather than technical execution.
As Magic Animator remains in beta with ongoing improvements and active community engagement, it promises to be a breakthrough tool in simplifying animation creation in design workflows. It is user-friendly, great for quick animations, and shows strong potential, especially for making animated design accessible to everyone. More features are expected as it develops.
Technology has transformed the design industry with Magic Animator, an AI-powered animation tool, making it easier for designers to create dynamic animations from static designs. This tool, developed by LottieLab, simplifies animation creation for designers, especially during its beta phase focused on social media, UI, and marketing content.
