# Using the Rive Editor

> Choose how you want to use the Rive editor: in your browser or as a desktop app.

To get started, [sign up for a Rive account](https://rive.app/signup/?redirect=%2Faccount%2Fteams%2F\&utm_source=docs\&utm_medium=content).

You can use the Rive editor as a **desktop app** or directly in your [browser](https://editor.rive.app). Both versions provide the same core features and workflows.
