Make animations you're proud to share with FlipaClip, the powerful animation app with a super simple interface. DISCOVER YOUR UNIQUE ANIMATION STYLE Whether it's your first sketch or you have been animating for years, FlipaClip gives aspiring and emerging artists the tools to go further than ever before. The latest version was built with our community, and it's the beginning of a bigger evolution. WHAT’S NEW IN THE LATEST VERSION • Two Layouts, Your Call: Keep the familiar Classic layout for drawing, or open Studio to see every layer and audio track at once. Switch any time, and your project stays exactly the same. • New Timeline: See your drawings, frames, images, videos, and sound together in one view, and adjust timing and order in one place. • Frame Controls: Drag a frame to hold a drawing for as long as you need, without copying it again and again. • A First Look at Groups: Group frames, then stretch the group to repeat or loop it. Hold a pose or a background for any length in one move. • Draw Outside the Canvas: Keep sketches, references, and spare parts just outside the frame, right where you need them. • Undo Everything: Undo now reaches your whole project, even a deleted frame or layer, so you can try the risky idea. • Faster & Lighter: Everything's quicker, and your projects take up less room on your device. EASY TUTORIALS • Learn with guided how-to content and get inspired: Access tutorials and join our community for inspiration and guidance. POWERFUL AND INTUITIVE ANIMATION TOOLS • Art Tools: Use a variety of brushes, lasso, fill, eraser, ruler, mirror tool, and text. Draw on custom canvas sizes with Apple Pencil support. • Animation Layers: Animate like a pro with 3 free layers, or unlimited layers with FlipaClip Plus. Try blending modes, clipping masks, alpha lock, glow effect and Pixel Effect for free. • Add Audio: Add sound effects, voiceovers, and music tracks. Edit your sound right on the timeline in the Studio layout. Record your own voice for dialogue and import personal audio files. Explore our curated sound effects packages, or type your dialogue and pick a character voice with Voice Maker. • Blur & Smudge Tools: Soften and blend your drawings. • Magic Cut AI Tool: Cut out any image with AI. FRAME-BY-FRAME ANIMATION MADE SIMPLE • Onion Skin: See the frames before and after the one you're drawing. • Scrubber: Move through your animation to check the timing as you go. • Overlay Grid: Align and frame your drawings accurately. PERSONALIZED EXPERIENCE • Dark and Light Mode: Customize your app's appearance. • Organize Projects: Stack projects and manage them efficiently. • Move Your Tools: Move the draw tools bar around the stage to free up drawing space. • Drag & Rearrange Tools: Customize your layout by dragging and rearranging tool icons for the perfect setup.

Verdict

The call
