Importing PSD Files

Drag a PSD file into Rive or import it from the Assets panel. When you import a PSD file, Rive adds its visible image layers to the Assets panel so you can place individual layers or the full composition on an artboard.
Hidden layers in the PSD are not imported into Rive.

Using PSD Layers

You can use PSD layers individually or as a full composition.
  • Drag a layer onto an artboard to place that layer.
  • Drag the entire PSD onto an artboard to create a group containing all imported layers.

Asset Settings

PSD layers use the same asset settings as raster images. You can configure settings for individual layers or apply settings to all layers in the PSD.

Export Behavior

Only PSD layers used in the Rive file are included in the exported .riv file by default. You can adjust export options for individual layers or for all layers in the PSD. See Assets for more about export behavior.

Reimporting PSD Files

You can replace or reimport a PSD to update its layers in Rive.
Keep PSD layer names consistent when reimporting. If you rename a layer in Photoshop and reimport the PSD, Rive treats it as a new layer. Any objects using the old layer may lose their asset reference.
