Drawing Animation
Cartoon Anime Maker for Pencil
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
Animate cartoons frame by frame, draw over video, export with no watermark and no ads. Sketch on layers with Apple Pencil, then share your animation as video or GIF.
Drawing Animation turns your sketches into moving cartoons. Draw frame by frame, play it back instantly, and export with no watermark and no ads, even for free.
A cartoon and anime maker built for Apple Pencil, with a canvas that feels like paper and a flipbook timeline made for animators. Sketch, paint, doodle, or animate a whole short movie on iPhone and iPad.
NO WATERMARK, NO ADS
Every animation you export is clean. No logo burned into the corner, no banners, no interruptions while you work. This is true on the free tier as well, not just after you pay.
DRAW OVER VIDEO
Import a clip and it becomes a reference layer, frame by frame. Trace the motion, then hide the video and keep only your own drawing. Rotoscoping is open to everyone here, not locked behind a purchase.
SEE THE MOTION WHILE YOU DRAW
Onion skin shows the frames before and after in different colors, so you always know where the movement is heading. Hold any frame in the timeline to preview it over your canvas. Play back slower or faster, loop it, and fix the timing before you commit.
A TIMELINE THAT KEEPS UP
Add, duplicate, delete, and reorder frames by dragging. Select many at once and move them together. Work across layers, lock transparency, fill with the bucket tool, add titles and captions with the text tool, and change brush thickness without leaving the canvas. Grid overlay and zoom help you keep proportions steady, and the grid never shows up in your export.
YOUR WORK IS SAFE
Everything saves by itself while you draw, and a crash brings your draft back. Deleting a frame or a layer can be undone. Deleted projects wait in the trash before they go for good. iCloud backup is on for free accounts too.
SOUND AND MUSIC
Record your own voice straight onto the animation, or pick a track from the built in music library. Trim it, mute it, and set the level for each track separately.
EXPORT AND SHARE
Save to Photos or share anywhere as video or GIF. An export keeps running when you leave the app, so you do not have to sit and watch the progress bar.
MADE TO FEEL RIGHT
Left handed mode, dark theme, keyboard shortcuts on iPad, and a streak counter to keep you drawing. Sample projects are there when you want to take something apart and see how it was built.
PREMIUM
For the creator who outgrows the free tier: unlimited projects and frames, and up to 20 layers. More brushes, including ink, charcoal, watercolor, chalk, pixel, spray, glow, and your own custom brush. 2160p canvas and export, higher frame rates, transparent GIF, and PNG sequence. Blend modes, a reference photo layer, eyedropper, and custom palettes. Longer video import with Magic Cut, which lifts a person or object off the background onto its own layer. Longer voice recording, a second audio track, your own music files, and the full music library. Ping pong loop.
Premium is available as a monthly or yearly subscription, or as a one time lifetime purchase. Payment is charged to your Apple Account. Subscriptions renew automatically unless turned off at least a day before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your Account Settings.
