Rive Runtime and Format

The Rive Format

Rive assets are packaged (exported and imported) into .riv files. These files are space efficient, taking approximately as much space as a static image (which can be quite small, if using vector graphics).

The Rive Runtime

The Rive runtime is the engine that loads and renders .riv files. Each platform has its own runtime. As of the time of writing, these include:

• Flutter
• iOS - Swift
• Android
• Web - Javascript/WebGL
• React
• C++
• and more
