What's Included

Everything you get with our Rive Web Integration

Runtime Configuration

Framework-specific Rive runtime setup with WASM loading, canvas configuration, and async initialization for your tech stack

Component Integration

Rive animation integration into your UI components with state machine connections, event handlers, and responsive sizing

Performance Optimization

Lazy loading, bundle analysis, frame rate testing, and core web vitals validation with animations active

Our Rive Integration Process

1

Technical Assessment

We evaluate your tech stack, build system, hosting environment, and performance requirements. We recommend the optimal Rive runtime configuration and loading strategy for your specific setup.

2

Runtime Setup

We install and configure the Rive runtime for your framework, set up the WASM module loading, configure canvas rendering options, and implement lazy loading for optimal performance.

3

Animation Integration

We integrate each Rive animation into your components, connect state machine inputs to your application logic, wire up event listeners, and ensure responsive sizing across breakpoints.

4

Performance Optimization

We measure canvas frame rates, bundle size impact, loading waterfall, and core web vitals with animations active. We optimize until every metric meets your performance targets.

Key Benefits

Framework-native integration

We integrate Rive using the official runtime for your framework: @rive-app/react-canvas for React, rive-vue for Vue, rive-flutter for Flutter, and native SDKs for iOS and Android. No workarounds, no compatibility issues, no maintenance burden.

Optimized loading performance

Rive files lazy-load when they approach the viewport, the runtime loads asynchronously, and canvas elements initialize on demand. Your page performance scores stay high even with dozens of Rive animations across the application.

Clean state machine connectivity

State machine inputs connect to your application state through typed interfaces. Your components pass data to animations and receive events from them through clean, documented APIs that your team can maintain and extend.

Frequently Asked Questions

What frameworks do you integrate Rive with?

We have production experience integrating Rive with React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, Astro, Svelte, Angular, Flutter, React Native, Swift/SwiftUI, and Kotlin/Jetpack Compose. We use the official Rive runtime for each platform to ensure compatibility and long-term maintainability.

How does Rive affect bundle size?

The Rive runtime adds approximately 50KB gzipped to your initial bundle, loaded once and cached. Individual Rive animation files are typically 5-100KB each and can be lazy-loaded. The total impact is comparable to a single medium-sized image and far less than video or GIF alternatives.

Can Rive animations be server-side rendered?

Rive animations render on a canvas element that initializes client-side. For SSR frameworks like Next.js and Nuxt, we implement proper hydration handling that shows a static fallback during server rendering and initializes the Rive canvas smoothly on the client without layout shift.

How do you handle Rive on low-powered devices?

We implement device capability detection and progressive enhancement. High-powered devices get the full interactive Rive experience. Low-powered devices can receive simplified animations, reduced frame rates, or static fallback images. We define the thresholds based on your target audience's device distribution.
