About Rive
Rive is a design tool for interactive animation that combines a vector editor, a timeline animator and an interactivity layer in one application. The file built in the editor is the file that ships in the app. Graphics are drawn by a GPU accelerated vector rendering engine, and the average Rive file is about 43 KB.
The State Machine links animations with conditional transitions, so a graphic reacts to user input, screen size, scroll position and application state. Data Binding connects text, colours, layouts and other properties to live application data at runtime, and Events let a Rive graphic notify the host application when a meaningful state change occurs. Text can be replaced at runtime and supports any language, while fonts, images and audio can be loaded as dynamic assets rather than embedded in the file. Responsive layouts let a component reflow and resize to fit its container, and scripting in the Luau language covers custom and procedural behaviour.
Rive imports SVG vectors, raster images in PNG, JPEG and WebP, and PSD files with their layers preserved. Animation covers skeletal rigs with bones, inverse kinematics and constraints, plus mesh deformation with vertex weighting. A cloud renderer outputs video, GIF and PNG sequences. Runtimes are published for Web, React, React Native, Flutter, Apple, Android, Unity, Unreal, C++, Defold, Framer, Webflow and Wix Studio, all open source under the MIT licence.
The Free plan costs nothing per seat and allows unlimited personal files but only three collaborative files, one project and one workspace. It caps each imported asset at 10 MB and provides no exports, no revision history and no CDN hosting. Cadet is $9 per seat per month for a maximum of three seats, raises the asset cap to 100 MB and lifts the limits on collaborative files, projects and exports, including .riv files. Voyager is $32 per seat per month for up to 25 seats and adds libraries, hosted embed URLs and unlimited revision history. Enterprise is $120 per seat per month and adds unlimited subteam workspaces, custom S3 bucket storage, SSO and SOC 2 Type II. Paid plans can be billed monthly or yearly.
