Rive — Design & Creative

What is Rive?

Rive is an interactive experience engine that lets designers, animators, and developers design, animate, and code in one place. It eliminates the traditional handoff by producing real, production-ready files that ship directly to apps, games, and websites—no mockups or prototypes. This cuts down on workflow complexity and speeds up delivery.

Who is it for?

Rive is built for design and development teams at companies like Spotify, Duolingo, and Disney, who need to create engaging, interactive UI, animations, and game elements. It's also ideal for motion designers and front-end developers who want a single tool for both design and code. If you're looking for a simple animation tool without coding or want to ship to a custom platform, you might need to check system requirements.

Real-world use cases

Teams use Rive to build interactive onboarding flows, animated icons, game UI, and in-app celebrations—like Spotify Wrapped. It supports web, iOS, Android, and game engines like Unity and Unreal, so the same animation can be deployed everywhere. With open-source runtimes and a GPU-accelerated renderer, Rive ensures high performance (up to 120fps) on any device.

• Design & Animate in One Editor — Create interactive graphics without needing both a design and animation tool.
• Open-source Runtimes — Run Rive files natively on any platform, including web, mobile, and game engines, with a GPU-accelerated renderer.
• Collaborative Editing — Work with teammates in real time (limited files on Free plan).
• Libraries — Share and reuse components across projects (on Voyager plan and above).
• Export .riv Files — Ship lightweight files that load fast and are smaller than traditional formats.
• Agent (AI assistant) — Get help with animation tasks, with limits varying by plan.
