Rive Library licence

Last updated: November 2026

This licence covers every file in the Rive Animation Library: the free ones, the paid ones and the ones that come with a course. The .riv and the .rev follow the same rules.

This is a plain-language licence. It's written to be read, not decoded. If anything is unclear, ask me.

What you can do

  • Use the files in your own apps, websites, games and products, commercial or not.
  • Use them in work you do for clients, and hand the finished app or site over to the client.
  • Change anything: colours, timing, text, the state machine. Changed or not, the same rules apply.
  • Use a file in as many of your projects as you like.

What you can't do

  • Sell, share or give away the files themselves, as they are or changed. That goes for the .riv and the .rev.
  • Upload them to a marketplace, a template site, a community file share or a public repository where others can download them.
  • Bundle them into templates, asset packs, UI kits or starter kits, free or paid.
  • Use them to build another animation library, or claim you made them.

A .riv that ships inside your app or site is fine, that's what it's for. What's not fine is offering the file itself for other people to download. If someone wants one, send them a link to its page.

Who owns the files

Every file stays © Tom Acco / Rive Masterclass. Downloading or buying one gives you a licence to use it, not ownership of it. The licence is yours, so it can't be sold or passed on to someone else. Your clients can use the finished product you built for them, but not take the file out and reuse it on its own.

Credit isn't required. A mention or a link back is always appreciated.

Free, paid and course access

  • Free files download for an email. They come with exactly the same licence as the paid ones.
  • Paid files and setsare a one-time payment. No subscription, and the licence doesn't run out.
  • Course owners of the Rive Masterclass or the Rive Scripting Course get every file in the library, .riv and .rev, sets included. Sign in with the email you bought the course with.

No warranty

The files come as they are. I test every one, but I can't promise a file will work in every runtime, Rive version or project, and I'm not responsible for problems that come from using them. If something is broken, tell me and I'll do my best to fix it.

If these rules are broken, the licence ends and the files have to come out of whatever they were shared in. I may update this page over time. The version here when you got a file is the one that applies to it.
