SVGMotion vs other animation tools
SVGMotion is a free, AI-first vector motion editor. It exports open .svg files — SMIL animations that play with zero JavaScript, self-contained interactive players, and Lottie JSON — so the deliverable is a format you own, not a file locked to a vendor runtime.

The short version
- Format — SVGMotion ships
.svg: text, open, hostable anywhere, still animates in a decade without a runtime. - Cost — everything is free. AI generation is optional BYOK (Ollama, OpenRouter, OpenAI) or skipped entirely.
- Privacy — local-first: scenes live in browser storage, the app works offline, nothing is uploaded.
- Interactivity — actions, transitions, and hover/tap/click triggers travel inside the exported file.
