About

Rive is a real-time interactive design tool that allows designers and developers to create and ship interactive animations for products, apps, sites, and games.

Target Audience: Product designers and motion designers use Rive to build interactive motion without exporting flat videos or handing every animation to engineering. Front-end, mobile, and game developers use it because the same Rive file can be driven in code and rendered through platform runtimes, making it easier to keep animations consistent across products.
Not ideal for: Teams that only need static graphics, simple video editing, or raster illustration work should not use Rive because it is designed for runtime-driven interactive animation, not general-purpose image or video production.

What makes it different

  • State machines for building interactive animations with rules, triggers, and transitions instead of only timeline-based playback
  • A single .riv asset can be deployed through runtimes across web, mobile, and game platforms
  • Vector-based, resolution-independent animations that stay crisp at different screen sizes and densities
  • Built to combine design and implementation workflows so developers can hook animations into app logic rather than recreating them manually
