Setting the animation to play in a loop
Depending on your site's feel, you may want to set the animation to play in a loop. This means that it plays continuously while visitors are on the page. You can also turn the setting off, so it only plays once when your pages loads
To enable / disable a loop effect:
- Click the Lottie animation in your editor.
- Click the Settings icon
- Click the toggle next to Plays in a loop to turn it on or off.
Adding additional animation effects
Lottie embeds come with their own animation effects. However, you can add an extra entrance animation from the Wix Editor. These effects appear when your site loads, and don't cancel or prevent the original animation from playing.
To add additional animation effects:
- Click the Lottie animation in your editor.
- Click the Animation icon
.

You can remove the extra animation effect by clicking None in the panel.

- Click the Lottie animation in your editor.
- Click the Settings icon
- Type or paste the text description under Write alt text for your animation.
