UgoKaki: Drawings to Life
Animate Drawings into Videos
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Snap your child's drawing and watch it walk, run, dance, and wave. Build narrated picture-book videos with multiple pages. Made for parent & kid playtime together.
Your child draws. You snap a photo. The drawing comes to life.
UgoKaki turns paper drawings into animated characters that
walk, run, jump, dance, wave, and more, all on your iPhone.
Stack pages with narration to make a complete animated picture
book starring your child's own creations.

Ratings & Reviews
- This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
- The subscription screen now clearly shows the exact amount you will be charged once the free trial ends.
- Fixed the subscription screen staying blank when plans could not load. It now shows a loading indicator and a Reload button.
- Fixed account deletion appearing to succeed when it had actually failed. The reason is now shown on screen and you can try again.
- Renamed the Pro plan and the logo at the end of picture-book videos to UgoKaki, matching the app's name.
- Added a “More from us” section in Settings where you can write a review or browse our other apps.
