How it works

Four steps, start to finish

From a blank canvas to a file you can post, without leaving the tab.

01

Draw a frame

Open a canvas and put down your first mark. A brush, an eraser, and nothing else in the way.

02

Ghost the next one

Onion skinning drops the neighbouring frames underneath, tinted, so every in-between lands on the arc.

03

Flip it back

Play the strip at 12, 24 or 30 fps. Scrub, reorder, and duplicate until the motion reads right.

04

Take it with you

Render a looping GIF or an MP4 straight in the browser, at the full resolution of your canvas.

GIFMP4
Onion skinning

Draw between the ghosts

The frames either side of your current one sit underneath it, tinted and dimmed, so every in-between lands where it should.

  • Red for the frames behind, green for the ones ahead
  • Ghost up to three frames on each side
  • Dial the opacity to taste
Toolbox

Only the tools you reach for

A brush, an eraser, a colour, and a way to move things. Nothing to learn, nothing in the way.

Timeline

Your flipbook, laid out flat

Every frame in a strip you can scrub, reorder, duplicate, or delete. Drag one and the rest shuffle around it.

  • Drag and drop to reorder
  • Duplicate a frame to build on it
  • Play back at 12, 24 or 30 fps

Sized for wherever it lands

Start square for a feed, widescreen for a title card, or A4 if it's going to paper. Exports render at the preset's full resolution.
