Questions
The things worth knowing first.
Mostly about what you walk away with, since that’s the part that decides whether a tool like this is worth your afternoon. Every answer links to the page that proves it.
What do I actually leave with?
Source code. You pick Motion, GSAP or CSS and you get the code for that animation, formatted the way you'd write it, which you paste into your own project. There's no file format in the middle and nothing to import at the other end.
Open the editorDoes the exported code depend on verve?
No. Nothing of ours ends up in your bundle. A Motion or GSAP export imports that library, the same as if you'd written it yourself, and a CSS export imports nothing at all because it's a stylesheet. If you stopped using verve tomorrow, everything you'd already exported would keep working.
What each export containsWill the export move the way it did in the editor?
That's the part we test hardest, because it's the part that's easy to get wrong quietly. A gate runs every exported dialect in a real browser and compares it frame by frame against the editor's own engine. In the last run the worst disagreement was 0.46% of a property's range for CSS, against a tolerance of 0.6%.
How the check worksDo I need an account?
Not to use it. The editor and every export work signed out, with nothing to install. An account exists so your work is still there tomorrow and so you can share a link to it.
Start without oneWhat does the free plan cover?
The whole editor, every property and easing, and all three exports including scroll, hover and page transitions. Signing in gets you 5 saved animations. Export is free on every plan and will stay that way — charging to get your own work out is the thing this tool exists to avoid.
The full comparisonDoes it work with components I've already built?
That's the intended way in. Paste real JSX or HTML and it renders, then you animate the thing on screen rather than a stand-in for it. Imports are shimmed or stripped, so a component that pulls in a chart library won't render the chart, and the source has a 250KB ceiling.
What paste acceptsDoes my code go to your servers?
Not while you're working. Your component runs in a sandboxed frame in your own browser, with no network access, and images you drop in stay in browser storage and are never uploaded. If you save an animation to your account, that document is stored, and it includes the source you pasted. Nothing is used to train anything.
Privacy in fullWhat doesn't it do?
It animates web components you paste, so it isn't an illustration or video tool and there's no After Effects or Lottie export. It won't design the animation for you either. If what you need is a designer-owned state machine or a handoff from an After Effects file, other tools are built for that and are better at it.
How it comparesWhat does Pro cost?
$12 a month, or $108 a year. What it buys is room and the tools for handing work over: unlimited saved animations, AI assist, and motion tokens. You can cancel from your settings whenever you like and keep everything you have already saved and exported. Never access to your own exports, on any plan — the editor and all three exports stay free.
