Free Character Animation

Not unless you choose to. Character Animation runs entirely in your browser — your characters, pictures, voice clips and projects stay on your computer. Save a project as a file, or to your browser's own storage, and open it again any time. With PRO you can also Save it to your account, to open on any computer or share with your team — only then is the project stored with us.

No. The Character Builder has eight ready-rigged characters — an office worker, a shop owner, a delivery rider, a doctor, a student, a robot mascot and two kids — or build your own: body type, skin, hair, outfit, shoes, glasses, hat, headphones and beard, with a live preview. Every one has bones, IK on arms and legs, expressions, mouth shapes and hand shapes (open, fist, point, thumbs up). Or bring your own artwork: import a layered PSD, an SVG or a set of PNGs — every layer becomes a body part.

Yes. Download the free PSD character template (or the SVG), draw your character over the grey mannequin keeping the layer names — head, torso, upperArmL, forearmL, handL, thighR and so on, with folders of eyes, brows, mouth and hand shapes — and import it. It is rigged automatically on the same skeleton as our characters, so walk, wave, expressions and lip-sync work straight away. Your own layered file works too if the layers carry those names.

Yes. Press Type to speak, type the line, choose a female or male voice (eight free AI voices — warm, bright, calm, deep, playful), then Listen and Add. The speech lands on the timeline and the character's mouth is lip-synced to it. The voices run on your own computer: the first time, your browser downloads the voice engine once (about 90 MB), and nothing you type is uploaded. Unusual names can be respelled the way they sound.

Add a voice clip (import an audio file or record one) and press Lip-sync from audio. The mouth shapes follow the loudness and tone of the voice. Then open Correct by hand to change a shape, nudge its timing, split or merge, and lock what you like — a re-run keeps your locked shapes.

Yes — in one click. Export › Social formats makes the same scene as 9:16, 1:1, 4:5 and 16:9 MP4s in one ZIP. The frame follows your characters, titles and buttons are laid out again for each shape (inside the platforms' safe areas), and speech bubbles stay in shot. Preview any shape on the stage first with the Frame menu. Each object can be set by hand if you want it treated differently.

MP4 (H.264, with the timeline's audio as AAC), WebM, an animated GIF, a PNG sequence in a ZIP (ready for After Effects or Premiere) or a single frame as PNG, at 50% to 200% size. MP4 is rendered frame by frame with your browser's own encoder in Chrome, Edge and Safari — faster than real time.

Building, posing, animating and previewing are free with no signup. Exporting an animation needs a free account, which includes 2 exports; PRO exports as many as you like. A single frame as PNG is always free.

It is our newest tool. Everything listed here works today; we are still polishing it, and what you tell us decides what comes next. It works best on a computer — the editor needs the room.
