About this app

Draw it. Flip it. Watch it move.

Simple Animation Studio is a frame-by-frame animation app for making flipbooks, cartoons, stick figure animations, game sprites and looping GIFs on your Android phone or tablet. It's easy enough for your first bouncing ball and capable enough for real projects — and everything stays on your device.

DRAW FRAME BY FRAME
• Brush with stylus pressure, eraser and flood fill
• Lines, rectangles, ellipses and a Bézier pen for clean vector shapes
• Edit points and switch any corner to a smooth curve with a tap
• Select, move, resize, duplicate and arrange anything you draw
• Colour picker with hex, opacity and swatches

ONION SKIN & TIMING
• See the previous and next frames as tinted ghosts with adjustable opacity
• Hold any frame for longer without duplicating it
• Set the frame rate from a slow flipbook to smooth 60 fps
• Scrub, reorder, duplicate and delete frames on a simple timeline
• Full-screen preview with loop and light, dark or checkerboard backgrounds

LAYERS THAT MAKE SENSE
• Every frame has its own layers — background, character, effects
• Show, hide, lock, rename, reorder and fade layers
• Import photos or artwork as layers, or as a sequence of frames for rotoscoping and stop motion

EXPORT AND SHARE
• Animated GIF with transparency
• MP4 video
• Animated WebP
• PNG image sequence (ZIP)
• Sprite sheet with JSON for game engines
• Single-frame PNG
• Choose the size, loop count and background, then share anywhere

YOUR WORK, ON YOUR DEVICE
• No account, no sign-in, no cloud required
• Autosaves as you draw
• Back up or move projects with a single project file
• Works fully offline

Designed for phones and tablets in portrait and landscape, with a docked layers panel on larger screens.
