Rive

Rive is a tool to help you make interactive motion graphics that can be used in many products, apps, websites and games. By letting designers create graphics that are also interactive and animated, Rive is designed to shorten development times and let designers and developers work more closely together.

Among Rive's features are:

• State Machine: A visual system for creating interactivity in which designers can define animations as states, then set up transitions, listeners and inputs.
• Animate Anything: Real-time animation abilities that are fast and performant, including a timeline, interpolation, animation mixing, clipping, skeletal animation, trim paths, meshes, constraints and inverse kinematics.
• Rive Editor: A design tool that generates working graphics, with features like nested artboards, solos and joysticks.
• Rive Runtimes: Open-source libraries to load and control Rive graphics in apps, games and websites, with small file sizes and transparency.
• Rive Renderer: A new technology foundation for real-time vector graphics that can draw a much larger number of vectors on the screen while maintaining quality and performance.

Rive can be used in a variety of situations:

• Game UI: Create interactive, animated graphics for game engines.
• Hero Animations: Add interactivity to websites and apps with animated illustrations.
• Interactive Components: Design working components that are ready for shipping.
• Animated Emojis and Icons: Create interactive icons and emojis that respond to user input.
• Data Visualization: Tell a story with animated charts and graphs.

Pricing is tiered to suit different needs:
