Interactive button maker

Make a button that grows when pointed at and presses down when pressed, try it in the editor, and save it as a .riv for a website or an app. Free, with no account or uploads.

Start from a button with a Hover switch and a Press trigger. Press Try it to point at it and press it, change it, then save a .riv.

Make a button that reacts

A .riv or a Lottie plays as it is; an SVG becomes shapes you can move; a picture is placed on the artboard; a 3D model opens in the 3D editor.

  • RIV
  • Lottie
  • TGS
  • SVG
  • PNG

How it works and help

A little help along the way

Follow these steps. Every option is explained underneath. Everything happens in your browser; nothing you draw or bring in is sent anywhere.

  1. Say what you want to makeChoose a moving logo or icon, a loading animation or an animated icon to open a small animation that already moves, ready to change. Open a file takes an SVG, a picture or a project you saved before; you can also drop an SVG on the page.
  2. DrawDraw rectangles, ellipses, polygons, stars and triangles, paths with the pen, and strokes with the pencil and brush. Fill closed areas with the bucket, join or cut shapes with the Shape Builder, and write words in the site's fonts.
  3. Animate with keysA key says what a part is like at one moment: its position, turn, size, opacity or colours. Set a key at one time and another later, and every frame between them is worked out for you.
  4. Choose the easingEach key says how the movement goes on to the next: Steady, Jump, Smooth, Speed up, Slow down, Speed up, slow down, Overshoot or Spring, or a curve of your own in the graph editor.
  5. Play itPlay the timeline to watch it. It can loop, play once or play there and back, and a work area plays only the part you are working on.
  6. Export itSay where it will go: social media or a video makes an MP4, a chat or an email a GIF, a website or an app an animated WebP with a clear background, and a still picture a PNG or SVG of one frame. Each file is checked before it is offered.

Questions people ask

How does the starter button react?
It grows when the pointer is over it and presses down when it is pressed. A state machine does this: a Hover switch and a Press trigger, set by listeners for the pointer. Press Try it to use it right in the editor.
How do I put the button on my website?
Export it as An interactive animation for a website or an app, which writes a .riv. The result shows a few lines of code that play it on a page with the @rive-app/canvas npm package.
Can I save it as a GIF or a video instead?
Yes, but a GIF, a video or a Lottie holds one timeline, so it plays one way and does not react. The state machine is kept in the .riv and in the project file.
