  • Quick Look, Animated

    Select any .riv in Finder and press Space. The file plays and responds right in Quick Look, running its state machine on Rive's Metal renderer.

    • Animated, not a thumbnail
    • Interactive state machines
    • Rendered on Metal

  • Open Any .riv

    Open files from disk, from the Rive Marketplace, or from any URL that serves .riv content. See every artboard, state machine, and animation, plus full metadata.

    • Open from disk
    • Rive Marketplace files
    • Any .riv URL

  • Inspect Data Binding

    Browse view models, instances, properties, and inputs, including legacy ones. Flip an input and watch the state machine react, while the event console streams everything the file fires.

    • Data-binding playground
    • Live event console
    • Extract embedded assets

  • Export With Alpha

    Render video with a transparent background, ready to composite in any timeline. GIFs too. Frame the region you want, or export every scene in the file in one run. Your first motion export comes out clean, with no watermark.

    • Transparent video export
    • Every scene in one run
    • PNG stills, always free

  • Native, Offline, Metal

    Built on Rive's Metal runtime, with no Electron and no server round-trip. Your files never leave your Mac. Turn Wi-Fi off and everything still works.

    • Rive Metal runtime
    • No Electron or webview
    • Fully offline

  • Library & Collections

    Every file you open lands in your library automatically. Group files into collections, search across everything, and find that one animation from months ago in seconds.

    • Auto-saved on open
    • Organize into collections
    • Search your library

Opening, inspecting, and PNG stills are free forever. Clean motion exports are Riview Pro: $29.99, one time.

Why Riview?

A .riv is a compiled runtime file. Once it's exported, the Rive Editor can't open it again. On a Mac, that turned every shipped file into a black box. You couldn't even preview one in Finder, let alone inspect or export it.

Riview opens the box, natively and offline. Press Space and see for yourself.

  • Free to download
  • Files never leave your Mac
