Rive

Rive is a platform for state-driven interactive animation: you design in a browser-based editor and add state-machine logic, so animations react in real time to inputs — hovers, clicks, data. It makes responsive animation: interactive characters, button micro-interactions, live in-app interfaces — not video-style motion that just plays and ends.

1. Start in the official Examples section to see how state machines chain animations together.
2. Pick a template to learn the browser-based editor.
3. Exported files are tiny; on the web the runtime renders them on canvas.
4. Remember the division of labor: to play a clip, Lottie is enough; to react to interaction in real time, that's Rive.

• State machines make animation respond to input in real time — its core differentiator
• Tiny file sizes with GPU rendering, practical to ship in real products
• One animation across platforms — runtimes for web, iOS, Android, Flutter, and Unity
• The editor runs in the browser, free to get started
