Best for Chromebooks

Apps can help power up your Chromebook. Our favorites this year made completing projects – creative and otherwise – so much more fun.

Whether you’re an amateur doodler or a skilled animator sketching out your next scene, FlipaClip turns your Chromebook into a personal animation studio. It’s incredibly intuitive to use: Simply draw a number of related images to convey movement, then watch as the app brings them to life.

We love the ability to overlay grids, which allow you to keep your individual drawings in proportion. You can up your creations by adding multiple layers, blending and other effects, imported images or videos, and even audio. When you’ve finished creating your masterpiece, choose the perfect canvas size for wherever you share: YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and more.
