Use Cases

Hero animations

Make websites and apps more engaging with interactive illustrations.

Tutorials

Rive allows you to build rich, interactive experiences, like this website hero animation. These tutorials will show you how to create the animation in the Rive Editor using concepts like animation mixing, constraints, and state machines. Then we'll show you how to implement the hero animation on a website using our React runtime.
