A WordPress plugin that adds interactive motion graphics to posts and pages. Supports four animation formats — Rive, Spline, Lottie, and standalone HTML — in a single block. Also includes a Motion Layout composer for arranging animations in scroll-revealed multi-cell layouts.

- The block editor (Gutenberg) — this plugin does not work with the Classic Editor
In any post or page, click the + button in the block editor and search for Rive, animation, or motion. Pick a format (Rive, Spline, Lottie, or HTML) and either upload a file or paste a URL. The plugin handles the rest, including validation, error states, and a graceful fallback if a scene fails to load.
For multi-cell layouts with optional scroll-reveal animations, insert the Motion Layout block instead — pick a grid size and template, fill the cells, and click "Insert layout."
