Ease of Use
LottieFiles for Figma provides an intuitive interface that allows designers to easily browse and insert Lottie animations directly into their Figma projects without needing extensive animation knowledge.
Rich Animation Library
The plugin offers access to a vast library of pre-built, high-quality Lottie animations that can enhance the visual appeal of projects without having to create animations from scratch.
Real-Time Preview
Designers can see how animations will look in real time within Figma, allowing for quicker iterations and immediate feedback on design choices.
Seamless Integration
Fits smoothly into the Figma environment, synchronizing effortlessly with the design workflow and enabling designers to enhance their projects with animated elements naturally.
Customizability
LottieFiles allows designers to customize animations to fit specific needs, such as changing colors, speeds, and other attributes, without leaving Figma.

Limited Animation Editing
The plugin offers limited capabilities for deep editing of animations, requiring users to rely on pre-existing animations or make modifications outside of Figma.
Performance Impact
Including complex animations might affect the performance of the Figma workspace, especially on lower-end devices, potentially causing lag or sluggishness.
Dependency on External Service
Users need to have an internet connection to access the LottieFiles library, which can be a limitation when working offline or with restricted network access.
Compatibility Considerations
Not all animations may render or function as intended when transitioning from Figma to other tools or platforms, requiring additional testing and adjustments.

Efficiency
Identifies unused CSS, resulting in cleaner and more efficient code. This can lead to improved page load times and reduced bandwidth usage.
Ease of Use
Provides a straightforward interface that allows users to quickly scan their websites and find unnecessary CSS without needing extensive technical knowledge.
Cost Savings
By eliminating unused CSS, it reduces the amount of data that needs to be transmitted and stored, potentially saving on hosting and bandwidth costs.
Improved Maintenance
With a reduction in CSS file size, future maintenance becomes easier and more manageable, making it simpler to update or refactor code.

False Positives
May incorrectly identify CSS as unused if the tool does not recognize dynamic changes or conditional loading, which can lead to accidental removal of necessary styles.
Dependency on External Tool
Relying on an external tool could present privacy and security concerns, especially when sharing potentially sensitive code and styling information.
Manual Verification
Requires manual verification of results to ensure important styles are not removed, which can be time-consuming and somewhat negate the tool's time savings.
Incompatibility with Complex Frameworks
Might not effectively handle complex CSS frameworks or preprocessors, where styles are used indirectly or dynamically through Javascript or server-side frameworks.
