Rive

Rive is an interactive design and animation platform and real-time graphics engine that lets designers, animators, and developers create, animate, and code interactive experiences in one place and ship them across every platform. Built around a State Machine design system and a GPU-accelerated vector renderer that draws at up to 120fps, Rive exports a single lightweight .riv file that is driven at runtime by open-source (MIT) native runtimes for Web, React, React Native, Flutter, iOS, Android, macOS, Unity, Unreal, and C++. Rive powers interactive UI, animation, and product experiences at companies including Spotify, Duolingo, Disney, and Google, reaching over 2 billion users. Rather than a hosted REST API, Rive's developer surface is its family of first-party runtime SDKs plus data binding, Luau scripting, and a CDN for share and embed hosting.

Rive is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Graphics, Animation, Design, and Interactive.

Rive’s developer surface includes documentation, API reference, getting-started guide, engineering blog, support, pricing, signup flow, and 11 more developer resources.
