Rive Freemium

What is Rive?

Rive is a real-time interactive design and animation platform that lets teams build animated graphics, UI components, and prototypes that respond to user input and data. Unlike traditional motion tools that export flat video, Rive uses a state-machine runtime so the same file can drive buttons, loaders, characters, and full app flows across web, mobile, and games.

Designers create artboards and vector shapes in the editor, wire states and transitions into a state machine, then hand a tiny runtime file to developers. Because Rive renders in real time, animations stay crisp at any resolution and can blend automatically based on input, making it a favorite for product teams that need production-grade motion without heavy engineering overhead.

Product Features

• Real-time vector drawing tools with booleans, gradients, and mesh deformation
• State machine editor for event-driven, input-reacting animations
• Multi-platform runtimes for Web, iOS, Android, Flutter, React, and Unity
• Smart bone rigging and inverse kinematics for character animation
• Collaborative team files with version history and shared libraries
• Import from Figma and export lightweight .riv runtime files

Product Highlights

• Runtime files are tiny, so interactive animations load fast on any device
• Designers ship directly to production without re-implementing motion in code
• State machines let one file handle dozens of interactive UI states
• Free tier plus affordable paid plans make it accessible for indie and enterprise teams

Use Cases

• Building animated onboarding flows and micro-interactions for mobile apps
• Prototyping interactive UI components such as toggles, loaders, and empty states
• Creating animated mascots and characters that react to game or app events
• Delivering branded animated illustrations for marketing sites
• Rapidly iterating on interactive product concepts before engineering handoff
