A free SVGator alternative for video and GIF

SVGator animates vector artwork for the web: animated SVG with CSS or JavaScript, Lottie, and code for React Native and Flutter, with interactive triggers and a player API. On its free plan, animated exports carry a watermark, and video and GIF export start with Pro at US$24 a month billed yearly. If your animation ends up as a video or a GIF rather than as code, smooth.video exports it for free.

When smooth.video fits better

The animation goes into a video, a social post, an email or a slide, uses photos, footage or music next to shapes, and you want the file without paying for a plan.

When SVGator fits better

The animation goes on a website or in an app as code: a lightweight animated SVG, an icon that reacts to hover, a Lottie file or a Flutter widget. smooth.video only exports video, GIF and images.
