Why Embed Lottie Player?
Lottie animations are the modern way to add lightweight, crisp motion graphics to the web – and
Embed Lottie Player makes using them in WordPress effortless. Embed any LottieFiles animation, .json, or .dotlottie file into posts, pages, and widgets with a dedicated Gutenberg block, then show your animation exactly the way you want.
The block is packed with options: show or hide player controls, enable autoplay and looping, attach a link, set the width, and align the player left, center, or right. You can even style the controls themselves – height, background color, icon colors, tracker, and thumb – to match your site.
The Pro version goes further with direct file uploads, hover interactions, playback modes, direction, play count, speed, and interval controls, plus advanced interactivity like scroll synchronization, cursor-driven playback, and click-triggered animations – and a fully styleable caption below the player.
Free Features
- JSON & dotLottie URLs: Enter both .json and .lottie file URLs to embed animations.
- Player Controls: Show controls so users can interact with the player.
- Autoplay: Start the animation automatically on load.
- Loop: Make the animation repeat seamlessly.
- Link: Add a link to the player so users can navigate to any URL.
- Width & Alignment: Set the player width and align it left, center, or right.
- Control Styling: Customize height, background color, icon colors (normal, hover, active), tracker color, and thumb color.
Pro Version
- Upload Files: Upload both .json and .lottie files directly to the Lottie Player.
- Hover: Play the animation when the mouse hovers over the player.
- Mode, Direction & Count: Choose playback modes, set forward/backward direction, and specify how many times the animation plays.
- Speed & Interval: Adjust playback speed and set an interval between loops.
- Open Link in New Tab: Send visitors to your link without leaving the page.
- Interactivity: Sync with scroll, scroll relative to the container, scroll with offset, sync with cursor position or horizontal movement, play on click, and play when visible.
- Caption & Caption Styles: Show a caption below the player and customize its text alignment, typography, colors (text and background), padding, and margin.

Currently, we have little choice when we need to embed a Lottie animation into a WordPress website built with the block editor. Luckily, this plugin is far above average and offers many options to finetune your animation.
(Tip: You can even use it to embed a Lottie animation with the Divi builder – simply create a sidebar, insert the animation there, and then bring it into your page using Divi’s sidebar module.)❜❜
