Your account & subscription

Awesome Lottie runs in your browser and everything hangs off one account: your projects and your plan. Here's what a plan unlocks, how to subscribe, and how to change or cancel it.

What a plan unlocks

The whole editor works on the free plan, and so does export: importing SVGs and existing Lottie files, drawing, posing on the storyboard, previewing, saving, and writing out Lottie JSON, .lottie, MP4 and still frames. What a paid plan changes is that those files come out without the watermark a free export carries — and it raises how many projects you can keep and how much storage they can use.

That split is deliberate. You should be able to find out whether the storyboard suits the way you work before paying anything, and that takes a real project, not a tour.

Creating your account

Sign up with an email address and a password, and we'll send a confirmation link. Click it when you get a moment — it's how we reach you for a password reset, and it's the address your receipts go to.

Forgotten your password? Use the reset link on the sign-in screen. The link we email is single-use and expires after an hour.

Subscribing, step by step

  1. Open the upgrade dialog

    Click Upgrade in the app — or just try to export, which offers it. The dialog lists only the plans that are actually purchasable, so what you see is what checkout will take.

  2. Pick a plan and a billing period

    Monthly or yearly. A yearly plan costs ten months' price for twelve months' use, and you can switch later.

  3. Pay through Lemon Squeezy

    Checkout opens with Lemon Squeezy, our payment provider. Card details, renewals, VAT and invoices are handled entirely on their side — we never see a card number. The price you're charged is shown before you confirm.

  4. You're back where you started

    Payment attaches the plan to the account you were signed in as, so there's no key to enter and nothing to activate. Export is live as soon as the payment completes — usually within a few seconds. If the app still shows the old plan, reload the page.

Paying with a different email is fine. Plenty of people pay with a work card or a partner's PayPal. The subscription is stamped with your account when the checkout is created, so it finds its way home regardless of which address is on the receipt.

Sharing your work

Sharing is per animation: open one and share it with someone as a viewer or an editor. They'll need an Awesome Lottie account, and the animation shows up alongside their own.

Changing or cancelling

Use Manage subscription in your account, or the customer-portal link in your Lemon Squeezy receipt — both open the same page, where you can change the card, switch plan, or cancel.

Cancelling stops future renewals rather than cutting you off: watermark-free export keeps working until the end of the period you've already paid for, after which the account returns to the free plan and new exports carry the watermark again. Nothing is deleted when that happens. Your projects stay exactly where they are, and anything you've already exported is yours regardless — it's on your disk and it never stops working.

If a payment fails, Lemon Squeezy retries the card over several days before anything changes, so a temporary card problem won't lock you out mid-project.

Projects and storage

Your plan sets how many projects you can keep and how much storage they can use; the dashboard shows what you've used next to your plan badge. A project's size is mostly the artwork inside it, so a large multi-layer SVG is worth trimming before import if you're near the limit.

If you do go over — after a plan change, say — you can still save. A save that doesn't make things bigger is always allowed, so you're never locked out of the edit that would fix it.

Deleting your account

Account in the dashboard can change your email, change your password, or delete the account outright. All three ask for your password again, even though you're already signed in — a session left open on a borrowed laptop shouldn't be enough to take the account over.

Deletion is immediate and permanent, with no restore window, so it asks you to settle two things first: cancel an active subscription (we can't stop Lemon Squeezy charging a card for an account that no longer exists), and hand over or empty any team you own that still has other members in it, so their work doesn't go with yours.
