What is Rive animation?

Rive Animations are interactive, real-time animations created using Rive, a design and animation tool that allows users to build vector-based animations for use in apps, games, and websites. Unlike traditional timeline-based animations, Rive enables designers and developers to create animations that respond to user input and other dynamic events. Rive Animations are exported as compact files that can be integrated easily into various platforms, providing smooth and scalable visual effects without significant performance overhead. This makes them ideal for interactive UI elements, animated icons, and in-app motion graphics.
