Rive

Rive is an interactive design and animation engine that lets teams create complex, interactive graphics. Designers and developers use its editor to build animations with code-driven logic, state machines, and user-triggered events. What you create in the editor is a real, runnable asset—not just a mockup or prototype—that can be deployed directly into production environments.

The tool combines vector design, timeline-based animation, and a scripting system in one place. Its open-source runtimes ensure these graphics run natively on virtually any platform, from iOS and Android to game engines like Unity and Unreal. The engine renders at 120fps and produces files that are often up to 90% smaller than alternatives like Lottie or After Effects exports, leading to faster load times and smoother performance.

Rive is built for product teams at scale. Major companies like Spotify, Duolingo, and Disney use it for everything from in-app animations and game UI to automotive interfaces and marketing websites. It's particularly valuable for motion designers and developers working together, as it eliminates the traditional handoff process and lets both sides work from the same source file.
