Rive: the interactive animation that makes you click (and more)

Stop embedding heavy GIFs or static SVGs: Rive is the ultimate tool for micro-interactions that transform every click into an experience. Your interfaces come to life, and your users stay engaged.

We've anticipated your questions

We know that outsourcing your design to an external team can raise a few questions. Here are our answers.

Why choose Rive instead of a GIF?

Because Rive is interactive, lightweight, and editable. A GIF is heavy, static, and it kills the user experience.

Does Rive replace Lottie?

For complex interactions, yes. For a simple animation, Lottie remains an option.

Do I need to know how to code to use Rive?

No, the interface is designed for designers. But developers can go very far with the SDK.

Is it compatible with React/Flutter?

Yes, direct integration with React, Flutter, iOS, Android, Web...

How much does it cost?

Free for basic use, paid plans for teams and advanced features.
