PuppetPad 1.4. Bring your whole character to life, faster. Import anything, instantly. Start a project straight from the Projects screen with a PSD, a PNG, or whatever's on your clipboard. The canvas is sized to your art automatically. Layered PSDs come in with every layer as its own puppet, right where you drew it. You can also drop a layered PSD into any open project. Animate smarter. • Onion skin. See your neighboring keyframes as translucent ghosts (red for previous, green for next) and nail every in-between. • Repeat a section. Loop a range of keyframes as a Cycle or a Ping-Pong, dial in the count with a slider or keypad, and let PuppetPad extend the timeline for you when you need more room. Perfect for walk cycles and idles. • Move pin groups. Select multiple pins and drag inside their cage to move them all at once, with a keyframe captured automatically. A cleaner, sharper workspace. Your canvas now opens perfectly framed every time, the stage size is always in view, and pins stay crisp and tappable at any resolution, even on huge artwork. Undo that has your back. Background removal, pin selections, and stage changes are all fully undoable now. Rock solid and easy on your battery. Smoother, steadier deformation, a pile of fixes across selection, editing, and the timeline, and a canvas that quietly rests when you step away, so your iPad stays cool and lasts longer.

PuppetPad 1.3 is here — and it brings what you've been asking for. 1 - Real alpha export. Export your animations as PNG or ProRes 4444 with a fully transparent background, ready to drop into any video editor. No workarounds, no white fringe bleeding through. 2 - Depth per pin. Every pin now has a Z value — giving you full control over which part of your puppet renders on top. Arm over body, hand over arm. Exactly how it should've always worked. 3 - Copy & paste on the timeline. Found a frame you love? Paste it anywhere in your animation. That simple. 4 - And Pro Mode! Now you can generate keyframe for each pin. Like a pro! And of course a lot of fix and improvements! Creating an animation has never been easier!

PuppetPad is free now — and nobody loses.

This update came to take some weight off your hands. Remove background - one tap and your character peels off the backdrop. No more cropping in Photoshop before importing. Transparent export - export your animation with alpha so it drops straight into another project, no white box tagging along. Pencil-tip hints - turn it on in the gestures panel (?) and discover what each tool does just by hovering. No need to tap. Pins just got a third dimension! Pin depth (Z) - each pin now has a depth value. When parts of the mesh overlap during animation, pins with higher Z render on top. Drop a pin on the front arm with Z = +1 and watch it pass over the chest naturally - no more splitting your character into layers just to fake an overlap. Depth stepper - select a pin and use the ▲/▼ control in the toolbar to bump it forward or back. The number tells you exactly where each pin sits in the stack. Bug fixes - many corners got sanded down. The app stands a bit steadier now. And don't forget! If you think about a feature, just get in touch with me!
