Ratings and Reviews
Great animation tool, highly recommended
I've been using Keyshape for a few years now and it has hands-down the easiest way to animate SVGs out there. If you're looking for small, simple animations, this is the app. There are more complicated options out there, but nothing comes close to Keyshape's ease of use.
There are a couple of features I wish were available, the main one being an option to automatically stagger elements on the timeline by a certain amount. It would also be nice if when selecting multiple items on the timeline, the command key would select or deselect items.
Thanks for the great app!
Exactly what I was looking for!
There are clever ways of using Keynote to create an animated GIF and I've tried some Open Source tools but they all ran up against some serious limitations. I don't mind paying for the right app but don't want or need to get into the Adobe ecosystem with its subscription model.
After a great deal of searching I came across Keyshape; the uniformly positive reviews induced me to try it and I am delighted! Once I got used to using keyframes and the timeline, it fell into place rapidly and I've created my first animated website ads for a local nonprofit.
I am especially pleased that vector graphics editing is an integral part of the app and it's sufficiently capable it can handle just about anything I need. And I can import from Affinity Designer if necessary.
My oly complaint is not about the app but about how difficult it was to find the the Apple App Store - I had been searching on several related terms but finally found this because of a reference on some website - glad I kept trying. Many thanks to the developers!
Love this tool, a couple of suggestions
I have been using this for a couple of years to make animations and I am realy happy with it.
A couple of suggestions that I think would be relatively easy to implement:
- Allow linking to images on web sites, and adjustment of the URL on the Image properties panel and Library
- Allow for adding manual style definitions that would appear in a style tag inside the parent svg tag. This would enable doing things like defining document-wide fonts with fallbacks and more.
