This lesson covers the process of importing raster images into your Rive project. Beyond simple importing, Rive offers built-in tools for image optimization, including quality adjustments and format conversion (e.g., WebP or JPEG). You will learn how to manage asset properties, control file size through compression, and use different methods to place raster artwork onto your artboards.
- Optimization: Converting images to WebP within Rive is a great way to balance visual quality and performance for web and mobile runtimes.
- Non-destructive Swapping: The Replace feature is incredibly useful for updating artwork without breaking existing animations or hierarchy setups.
- Hierarchy Integration: Once placed, raster images behave like other layers in the hierarchy, allowing for easy parent-child grouping.
