Rive

The Real-Time Interactive Animation Platform

Product Overview

Rive is a powerful, browser-based design and animation platform that enables teams to create sophisticated interactive animations that respond to user input in real-time and run on any platform. The Revolutionary State Machine: This is the soul of Rive. You can visually manage all animation states (e.g., idle, hover, click, success, fail) and the transitions between them using a simple flowchart, eliminating the need for complex code. This makes it easy to build living, interactive characters and components. Cross-Platform with High Performance: Design once, run anywhere. Rive's lightweight runtimes ensure silky-smooth performance across the web, iOS, Android, Flutter, game engines, and more, all from a single file. Integrated Design & Animation Workflow: Complete the entire creative process—from vector drawing and bone rigging to animating and setting up State Machine logic—all within a single, collaborative tool, saying goodbye to the cumbersome process of switching between apps (like Illustrator -> After Effects). Rive fundamentally changes how dynamic content is created for products. It's not just an alternative to Lottie; it's the evolution of it—shifting from simply playing animations to interacting* with them. For teams looking to build delightful, character-rich, and engaging experiences in their apps, games, and websites, Rive is the definitive tool for the future.
