Import artwork or an animation

Format	What you can import
Libre source (`.libre.json`, or a Libre document in `.json`)	An editable animation, opened as a new library entry.
Lottie JSON (`.json`)	Supported animation features. Embed image assets before importing.
dotLottie (`.lottie`)	A package containing one animation and its image assets.
SVG (`.svg` or pasted SVG)	Vector artwork, added to the open animation. Libre starts an animation if none is open.
PNG, JPEG, WebP	An image you can move, animate, and apply effects to. Animated images become a static frame.
Copied Figma vectors	Supported vector artwork pasted into the animation.

Format

What you can import

Libre source (.libre.json, or a Libre document in .json)

An editable animation, opened as a new library entry.

Lottie JSON (.json)

Supported animation features. Embed image assets before importing.

dotLottie (.lottie)

A package containing one animation and its image assets.

SVG (.svg or pasted SVG)

Vector artwork, added to the open animation. Libre starts an animation if none is open.

PNG, JPEG, WebP

An image you can move, animate, and apply effects to. Animated images become a static frame.

Copied Figma vectors

Supported vector artwork pasted into the animation.

Input	Limit
Libre source or Lottie JSON	32 MB per file
dotLottie	32 MB compressed, 64 MB unpacked, 256 files in the archive, one animation
SVG	3 million characters
Images	6 MB per image, 16 megapixels (16,777,216 pixels), 8,192 pixels per side

An image must also fit the 6 MB limit after Libre prepares it for embedding. Lottie import does not support 3D, time remapping, or per-character text animation. Lottie JSON needs embedded images; dotLottie can also include them in its archive.File limits above use 1,048,576 bytes per MB. The separate cloud document limit is 10,000,000 bytes for the whole saved document.

If an import does not work

Lottie: remove the unsupported feature named in the message in the source app, then export again with image assets included. For a dotLottie package with several animations, export only the one you need.

SVG: convert unsupported artwork to vector paths in the source app, or import a smaller selection. If a review opens, compare the original and result before choosing Insert. If the file cannot be read, export it again from the source app.

Figma: copy fewer shapes, or use Copy as SVG in Figma and paste the SVG.

Images: reduce the file size or pixel dimensions, then import again.

Import timed out: simplify the artwork or split it into smaller files.

If Libre reports that the imported document is too large to save, see Cloud document size.
