EINPresswire/ -- Why do most designers still prefer SVG for web animations? According to SVGator’s latest data, SVG continues to dominate exports on the platform, far surpassing Lottie and other formats. The 2024–2025 statistics reveal clear user preferences and highlight how professionals approach animation on the modern web.

Export data highlights a clear leader

SVGator’s export data offers a clear view of real-world design preferences:
- 60–70% of users exported in SVG format.
- Only 5–7% of users chose Lottie.
- Video and GIF formats together accounted for the remaining 20–25%.

This ongoing trend confirms SVG’s position as the standard for lightweight, responsive web animation, while Lottie remains a niche choice for app interfaces and micro-interactions.

Why SVG leads the way

In August 2025, SVG format made up 80.6% of all exports on SVGator. Designers value its scalability, compact size, and seamless integration, which make it ideal for web projects that demand performance and ease of implementation, without extra development resources.

Lottie followed at 7.0%, primarily used for mobile UI animations. Video and GIF formats accounted for 5.2% and 7.2%, respectively, serving marketing and social media needs. Overall, four out of five exports were SVG-based, reaffirming the format’s dominance.
