Lottie and SVG are both formats for vector animations but differ in functionality and use cases. Lottie files, typically JSON-based, are highly interactive and designed to work seamlessly across platforms. They are rendered in real-time, allowing for complex animations with small file sizes, ideal for web and app integrations. Lottie supports advanced animation features like easing, masks, and even 3D transforms, making it more versatile for dynamic UI/UX designs.

SVG (Scalable Vector Graphics), on the other hand, is a static format for 2D graphics that supports animations through CSS or JavaScript. SVG files are simpler and well-suited for lightweight vector graphics, such as logos or icons. However, creating intricate animations in SVG can be cumbersome and less performant.

For example, platforms like SVG Bunny, an SVG store, offer ready-made SVG assets perfect for web design. Lottie files would complement these by adding interactive and fluid animation capabilities for advanced needs.
