Draw frame-by-frame 2D animation for characters, effects, and game prototypes with open-source software.
About Pencil2D Animation
Pencil2D is a lightweight hand-drawn animation editor with raster and vector workflows. Its timeline, layers, and onion-skin tools give small teams a direct way to rough out character motion, animate an effect, or test timing before preparing artwork for a game engine.
The official Windows 64-bit release is a ZIP archive: extract it and launch Pencil2D. The project also offers other platform downloads and a user manual. Artwork you make with the tool can be used commercially; check the licenses of any third-party materials you add to a project.
