The service
What exactly do I get for one character set?
Six animations of your character — idle, happy, wave, thinking, sad and a launch intro that ends on idle — delivered in the formats your plan includes. Studio and expert sets include an interactive Rive file with a state machine (one number input switches moods), transparent WebM and MOV, MP4, GIF, a 9:16 launch video and ready-to-paste web, React and SwiftUI code.
How long does it take?
Usually 1–2 hours from upload to download. You can watch each stage live on the job page — analyzing, building the rig, rendering, packaging — and we email you when the set is ready.
What kind of image works best?
Flat, front-facing artwork on a plain or transparent background: think sticker, app icon or mascot sheet. PNG, JPEG or WebP, at least 512 × 512 px and up to 10 MB. Characters with clearly separated head, body and limbs give the most expressive rigs. Photos of real people are not supported.
Is this AI-generated?
No generative model redraws your character. The engine traces your artwork’s own shapes and colors into vector parts — with automated, AI-assisted checks of which part is a head, an arm or an accessory — then rigs them and keyframes the animations in Rive. What you download is your character, moving, not a lookalike.
Can I try it before paying?
Yes. Try it with your character places your image, as-is, in three real layouts (phone splash, website hero, app empty state) beside a demo character playing the real animation. It runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded and no animation is generated until you choose a plan.
What if I don’t like the result?
If a set fails or is clearly broken, the credit goes back to your balance automatically and you can contact us. The “Done with an expert” plan includes a private ticket thread with the animator and two revision rounds. See the refund policy for details.
Formats & usage
What is a Rive file and why would I want one?
Rive is a runtime for interactive vector animation on the web, iOS, Android, Flutter, React and game engines. Instead of six separate videos you ship one small file (typically under 20 KB) and switch moods in code — mood = 2 waves, mood = 3 thinks. It stays sharp at any size and blends between states smoothly.
Do the videos have transparent backgrounds?
Studio and expert sets include transparent WebM (VP9 with alpha, for the web) and MOV (ProRes 4444, for video editors like Final Cut, Premiere and After Effects). Starter sets include MP4 and GIF on a solid background.
Can I use the animations commercially?
Yes. You keep all rights to your character, and you may use the delivered files in your apps, websites, ads and videos, commercially and worldwide, for as long as you like — even after you cancel.
Plans & billing
How do monthly sets work?
Starter includes 2 character sets per month and Studio includes 3. Unused sets don’t roll over; your allowance resets at the start of each billing period. You can cancel any time from your account and keep everything you’ve downloaded.
Can I buy add-ons like ad clips or an intro?
Web hero, ad clips and intro/outro sequences are coming soon. They’re listed on the pricing page and will be purchasable once they’re ready; the expert plan will include them.
Who handles payments?
Checkout is handled by Polar, our merchant of record, which also takes care of invoices and sales tax. We never see or store your card details.
Privacy & your files
What happens to the image I upload?
It is stored privately, processed on our own machines to build your set, and never used to train AI models. You can download or delete your data at any time from your account; deleting your account permanently removes your uploads and outputs. Details are in the privacy policy.
