Animation

A .riv, as a video.

Convert a .riv to an MP4 in your browser, nothing uploaded: Rive's own runtime draws its frames on your device and they are written as a video, no watermark.

A video plays almost anywhere: in a post, a slide, a video editor or a message. KeepSimp's RIV to MP4 page turns a .riv into one in your browser, with nothing uploaded and no watermark.

Drop it and save an MP4.

Drop a .riv. It plays first, as it is, and Export is already set to an MP4. Rive's own runtime draws each frame on your device, and the Animation converter's engine writes them as a video.

How long the video is.

An animation is drawn for one pass. A state machine is drawn for as long as you choose, with its inputs as you set them, so set a switch or press a trigger first to show the part you want.

No clear background in a video.

A video made here has no clear background. For a moving picture with one, choose an animated WebP or an APNG. For a chat or an email, a GIF plays in more places.
